Merry Christmas to all Languishbros near and far. May good food, good booze and heartfelt family occasions bless you all.  :uffda:  :cheers: 

Here's an Old English Christmas carol.

Merry Christmas.

I got Chinese take out for the first time.  I knew Chinese on Christmas was a Jewish thing, but my place was packed.  14 extended family members working instead of the usual 4.

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".

Oh, here's one for you Catholics as well... Old Norse is as far as this Lutheran can go.

:lol: Went to a CofE Medieval carols service and that was the opening song (also a fun Erasure version). The vicar was also dressed as a monk.

It's a fairly Anglo-Catholic church but I did feel that was inappropriate cultural appropriation...Why don't we have monks, reverend? <_<

Merry Christmas.

Edit: In fairness it's a church with a great choir (went for a wedding) and they had a whole festival of carols - Benjamin Britten, German origin, Victorian (for a Dickens Christmas) and, I believe, appropriate costumes for the vicar each week.

Merry Christmas, olds!

Surprised they kept the expropriated robes after all these centuries :P

This hymn is a an old one from the 18th century and one I know as well as the back of my hand due to all my choral work.


Merry Christmas.  :thumbsup:

Merry Christmas. :)

For a Languish Christmas, what would be more appropriate than an analysis of how historically accurate and true to Dickens' story The Muppet Christmas Carol is? :P


(Seriously, it's a quite lovely video, and it's a lot more accurate than you might think :) )
