Christmas Eve. We've been to the carol service in the small medieval chapel ( the place full to bursting with parents in their late twenties , excited wild haired four year olds and bemused in-laws ) and visited our late 80 something neighbour who is spending her first Christmas alone. We take and open a bottle of wine but after half an hour and a few sips she's dozing off. As we head back to the car the late working council refuse men are doing their final rounds.
Still the yardstick by which all others are measured - Christmas music #23 :https://youtu.be/yR4tO9eeQbo?t=21
These seem like two videos worth watching today. The first a reminder that every night for more than a year the Pope has without fail called the 1,000 Gazan Christians sheltering in the Holy Family church in Gaza :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sbikhpdf3ec And in the second video a visit to the last village on earth where Aramaic ( the language of someone born today ) is still spoken :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyVa1XdSINw

Definitely the yardstick, and a Rutter arrangement too. Loved it - thank you.

A sublime post... as we who frequent this page have grown to expect. The video links appreciated. Have a wonderful day, gentlemen. With Love and Respect from a foggy, murky, very dark yet mild morning on the other side of this Bonny Land. YAM xx
Happy Christmas!
Merry Christmas, Angus and Font.
Thank you for all you do for us.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you and the Font and to all in this wonderful circle of readers you've gathered! I had no idea the Pope has been doing this - he is a mensch at a time when we need more of them. And, while you captured my husband with the chocolate-covered raisins earlier in the week, now you've captured my son with the lobsters - I think he may be ready to return to Scotland. Wishing all a peaceful and happy day.
A Verry Merry Christmas to you and the Font. May 2025 bring you both peace and health.
Merry Christmas, Angus and Font. Cheers from Canada.
I too am captured by the lobsters (chips and fabulous good price to boot). Merry Christmas to Angus, the Font, and all creatures around the last wee house before Denmark!
Merry Christmas!
The Christmas morning sky and golden town are splendid. We're wishing you and the Font and all readers of this wonderful blog a very Merry Christmas.
Proof that festively wrapped presents are not necessarily everyone’s favorite gift. Gratitude to you for your message and choice of attachments. So like you and the Font to achieve perfection with your Christmas greeting. Thank you. Merry Christmas. MS Nell
Merry Christmas Angus, The Font, and to all your readers around the world!
