I can’t explain why I decided to post this Christmas hymn today, God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen. All I can say is, my heart cried out for it this morning.
And now I know where to put the comma in the title.
Sung by the Magdalen College Choir.

‘God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen’
What? A Christmas carol in April? Well, go ahead, tell me there’s a wrong time for this message: Jesus Christ is born, to save us from our sins.
God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, performed the old-fashioned way by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band…
‘God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen’ (Yes, in April)
I had a craving for this hymn today, so here it is–God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, sung by the Bach Choir in 2007.
There are a number of evil and distressing nooze stories out there that I am purposely leaving out, this weekend. I don’t know about you, but by Friday afternoon I’ve had enough.
If we don’t stop the crazy stuff, God will.

Here’s another one requested by Michele Dumas (well, I did say request as many as you please): God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, performed a capella by Pentatonix.
‘God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen’
*Sigh* Hardly anybody here this morning, and no hymn requests: our carol contest seems to be withering on the vine.
Keep trying. How about this, then? God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, done the old-fashioned way by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band.

I don’t know why it took so long for this old favorite to be nominated, but Phoebe came through for us yesterday–God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, performed by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band.
We still don’t have any carol in the carol contest that got 30 views on the day it was requested–and still plenty of classics that we haven’t heard yet. Let’s get that Christmas spirit rolling!

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…)
‘God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen’ (Maddy Prior)
It’s way too early to put away our Christmas cheer! Yes, the wicked stole our country out from under us, and it’ll be hell to pay to get it back–but we will not be able to do that without God’s help. May Our Lord fight for us!
Meanwhile, it’s still Christmas around here. And this is Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band, with an old-fashioned rendition of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.
‘End of Year Holiday?’ For Shame!
(Special thanks to Phoebe for requesting this carol just as I was about to write this post–she must have read my mind: God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, performed the old-fashioned way by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band.)
Leftids have been trying to get rid of Christmas for years; and this year, their friend the COVID virus might provide them with the means to do it.
First, we’ve just been told there will be no Santa Claus at Macy’s in New York–for the first time in 159 years (https://deadline.com/2020/10/macys-no-santa-claus-at-stores-this-year-1234602271/).
Yesterday we learned a new word: “whisper-singing.” They’ll let you sing Christmas carols–but only if you keep your face mask on, and sing in a whisper.
And we learned a new term, too. Now liberals are speaking of Christmas not as Christmas, but as a super-generic “End of Year Holiday.”
Are we seeing a pattern here?
Well, it’s up to us whether we take this lying down. The alternative is to celebrate Christmas with all our hearts and dare the villains to arrest us–for having Christmas!
As I once heard a wise woman say on Christian radio: when things look bad.,.. sing louder!
By Request, ‘God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen’
Yes, we’re still doing Christmas carols here!
This one was requested by Phoebe–God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, performed in 18th century style by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band.
