A Message From Santa Claus

 

Popped into the local alehouse for a stiffener before I started my duties to bring cheer to the poor and needy, but what I beheld shocked me to the core....

It was full of knotted scarfed middle class twats with their snotty nosed Tabithas and Thoms saying "I`ll take three hot chocolates and two mulled wines " while playing with their sodding smart phones and then sitting infront of the real log  fire so no one else can see or feel it.

And then they insist " A Fairy Tale Of New York" is the BEST Christmas song ever;

Wankers

.Ho! Ho! Ho! 

Saint Nicholas 

As I told you before the Best Chistmas song is

Belshazzar`s Feast  Hampshire Mummers Song

Happy Christmas  Jules

Advent Calender 21

Rain On Rain

Bloody hell last night was a little bit wet. At least it was not snow.

In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow,
In the bleak midwinter, long ago.

Our God, heaven cannot hold Him, nor earth sustain;
Heaven and earth shall flee away when He comes to reign.
In the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed
The Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ.

Enough for Him, Whom cherubim, worship night and day,
Breastful of milk, and a mangerful of hay;
Enough for Him, Whom angels fall before,
The ox and ass and camel which adore.

Angels and archangels may have gathered there,
Cherubim and seraphim thronged the air;
But His mother only, in her maiden bliss,
Worshipped the beloved with a kiss.

What can I give Him, poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb;
If I were a Wise Man, I would do my part;

Best carol ever

In The Bleak Midwinter
