What must it be like, to be able to make such beautiful music and offer it to the Lord in praise?
Requested by Marcia, O Holy Night, sung by David Crowder and his group, Passion. Just beautiful!

By Request, ‘Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne’
Requested by Joshua, another new carol to enter into our Christmas Carol Contest (“new” in the sense of I haven’t heard it before)–Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne, sung by TheNCrew.
The wonderful thing about this carol is, it ties Christmas to Easter and the Resurrection–a tie we must never forget.
By Request, ‘The King Shall Come’
SlimJim asked for this one, an Advent hymn–The King Shall Come, by Trevor Thomson.
Across the street from me, at St. Francis, they’ve set up the Christmas creche outside the church. Once a line of wild turkeys crossed Main Street to inspect the manger. Point is–even wild turkeys know it’s Christmastime!
By Request, ‘God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen’
Are you, shipmates, loving this as much as I am–all this Christmas music, on a nooze-free weekend? I have, I think, two more left to post; but maybe I’d better safe them for first thing tomorrow, to give them a fair shake in the carol contest.
Meanwhile, requested by “thewhiterabbit,” God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, sung and played the good old-fashioned way by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band.
(And now I’ve got to do something about this living room…)
By Request, ‘The First Noel’
Another Christmas hymn request for our Christmas Carol Contest–now we’re getting somewhere!–from Ina, our friend in Glasgow, Scotland: The First Noel, sung by Sir Harry Secombe with the Choir of Westminster Abbey.
By Request, ‘Joy to the World’
I hope these Christmas hymns stir your soul as they stir mine. Christmas is beautiful–the Word of God come down to us from Heaven as a baby in a manger! God with us!
Requested by Phoebe, written by Isaac Watts, performed by “a traditional choir”–Joy to the World.
I’ll be back with more carols, and Byron’s TV listings, in a little while.
By Request, ‘Christmas Hallelujah’
We have a lot of Christmas hymn requests already today, and I’ll try to post them all. I hope it doesn’t shrink my readership.
First up, requested by Erlene, Christmas Hallelujah, by Caleb and Kelsey. I don’t recognize the Bible movie that these scenes are taken from. Anybody out there know?
Don’t Miss Our Christmas Carol Contest!
G’day, all! Byron the Quokka here–with one of the lovely bicycles that Lee should mail out as a contest prize, which he would do if only he would listen to me!
We’re only a few days into our annual Christmas Carol Contest, so there’s time for it to grow. Anyone can enter! And as often as you like, too. The carol that gets the most views on the day it was requested, wins. And the happy reader who requested it gets a prize. No, sorry, not the bicycle. You’ll win an autographed copy of one of Lee’s books; or, if you prefer, this cool T-shirt in MAGA red that says “If they have to kill us, they’ve lost.”
I’d love to see all of you request Christmas hymns–especially some of you who come here often but hardly ever comment.
All you have to do is leave a comment requesting a Christmas carol. Leave it anywhere–we’ll see it.
So far there are two carols tied with 18 views each. I’m not allowed to tell you which ones they are. We want to heighten the suspense!
And again, I’m sorry about there being no bicycles mailed out–but I only work here, y’know.
EU Doofus Drops Plan to Erase Christmas
Far Left Crazy thinks it can do anything it wants. So here we have the EU, whose bigwigs nobody voted for, appointing another big wig “Equality Minister”–and next thing you know, she’s recommending that they erase Christmas throughout Europe (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/12/godless-eu-equality-minister-helena-dalli-drops-plans-erase-christmas-vatican-backlash/).
She made a “retraction” after strong objections by the Vatican. Please don’t think this means she’s changed her so-called mind.
Oh! And she also thinks you shouldn’t be allowed to name your baby John or Mary anymore… because those are, like, Christian names or Bible names, not INCLUSIVE.
If I were a European celebrity, I would announce that henceforth I would name all my pets John or Mary. Then I’d go out and buy an ant farm. Not being a celebrity, the following is the best I can do:
What with King COVID and Climbit Chainge bullschiff, the Far Left is running wild all over the world. God’s grace has provided them with a propensity to go too far, too fast, alienating everyone but other left-wing ninnies.
And now it’s time for the whole deranged business to be stopped. No more woke, no more hoke.
If the Europeans listen to me, they’ll all leave the EU and never, ever let any of its personnel back into government in any capacity.
By Request, ‘O Come, O Come, Emmanuel’
Requested bySlimJim, and beautifully performed by a “traditional choir” somewhere–O Come, O Come, Emmanuel. And “Emmanuel,” says the Bible, means “God with us.”
We sang this for our seventh-grade Christmas concert–no longer allowed, of course.
God deliver us.
