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.
Merry Christmas!

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
Merry Christmas. My kids and SO got COVID so it's been a boringly family affair.
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:
Silent Night sung in Maltese by a pretty hot chick
Merry Christmas my Languish friends! Onward to Year 21 of Languish
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to one and all :uffda: :cheers:
I have the Latin version of that Old Norse Christmas song on a CD somewhere :goodboy:
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 :) )
Merry Christmas!

I'll pass this along to my wife. Might be something for next year's christmas concert with the choir. Something different than the near obligatory Gaudete in Latin :)
Io, Saturnalia! ; Salve Sol Invicte, Happy Winter Solstice, Felicem Natalem Christi, Hail Mithra!
Merry Christmas everyone. We didn't dare tackle 3 planes with a 3 months old to visit our families so it's a very quiet one for us.
Merry Christmas and Happy St. Stephen's Day; since we're sharing music, here's The Wren Song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-bdLemVMIA) by the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem with the story of how they celebrated St. Stephen's Day as children.
Merry Christmas everyone :)
