News, news, news!?

Good Christian men, rejoice with heart and soul, and voice;
Give ye heed to what we say: News! News! Jesus Christ is born today;
Ox and ass before Him bow; and He is in the manger now.
Christ is born today! Christ is born today!

Good Christian men, rejoice, with heart and soul and voice;
Now ye hear of endless bliss: Joy! Joy! Jesus Christ was born for this!
He has opened the heavenly door, and man is blest forevermore.
Christ was born for this! Christ was born for this!

Good Christian men, rejoice, with heart and soul and voice;
Now ye need not fear the grave: Peace! Peace! Jesus Christ was born to save!
Calls you one and calls you all, to gain His everlasting hall.
Christ was born to save! Christ was born to save!


And you thought the holidays were over! Never! (Commence evil laughter). This one really was not my fault, google still had some post up about 'making money from your blog this holiday season' that triggered a regression (or some such psychobabble) when I thinking I need to post something on the blog this week…news…news! How about 'Good Christian Men Rejoice?' Yes, perfect! Insane? Certainly. Politically correct, no! There is a version called 'Good Christian Friends Rejoice,' but that is just silly. The guy who wrote the words died in 1366 and I doubt he intended to be insensitive to women born 700 years later. Back then 'men' meant all of humanity and everybody knew it and didn't take offense, they just sang for the pure joy of it.  I wonder what the PC police will do to 'God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen?' Anywho, merry Christmas! This is for all those of you that loath valentine's day.
