Time for FTM's first annual Xmas and New Year's greetings. So ... Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Joyeux Noël et Bonne Année! Frohe Weihnachten und das Beste zum neuen Jahr! ¡Feliz Navidad y un próspero año nuevo! Buon Natale e felice Capo d'Anno! God Jul och Gott Nytt År! Hyvää joulua ja onnellista uutta vuotta! By the way, H0H 0H0 is Santa's postal code (since we all know that the North Pole is in Canada — HO HO HO).

Yeah yeah,
Season's Humbug everyone.

BTW, i searched the iTunes store intensely yesterday, trying to determine the "best" version of Schubert's
Ave Maria . To my surprise, i ended up choosing the one sung by
Wynonna Judd . Incredibly beautiful... her voice is rich, powerful, authoritative, and with impeccable Italian enunciation... yet also tender and mellifluous.
I musta gone through over 30 of the 50 or so offerings at the store, before deciding on Wynonna. [Some i ruled out because the recording level was abysmally low.] Check it out, if interested.

This generic greeting will be repeated monthly, just to make sure it is timely for all of those celebrations.

Whatever secular holiday and/or religious event you celebrate at this time of year, my wish for each of us is for peace on earth and goodwill to all.

Well, we made it through Solstice without the stars aligning correctly to allow the Great Old Ones freedom from their slumber in the sunken city of R'lyeh to reclaim the earth in an orgy of darkness and despair, so that's good, at least.

But what about the dark rumblings coming from God's waiting rooms in Palm Springs FL and across the water from you in Victoria BC? Are tectonic shifts in the offing? Or are they just the borborygmi of the disenchanted and geriatric?

But the grumblings of the recalcitrant birthers in FL wouldn't account for the phenomenon at the butt end of Vancouver Island.

Actually they were out and about, disguised as humans and working behind the scenes in Copenhagen, to ensure that nothing good would come of it.

It's a little late for that, around here anyway. It's usually very cloudy at the end of December in Wisconsin.
