Today is but the First Day of Christmastide! There are eleven more days to come. Christmas does not end until after Nones on 5 January, the last Hour before First Vespers of the Feast of the Epiphany.
Hence, there will be Christmas-themed posts coming for a while yet.
Remember,
A partridge in a pear tree.
First Sung on at Midnight Mass, Christmas, 1818, Nikolauskirche, the parish church of Oberndorf, a village in the Austrian Empire on the Salzach river in present-day Austria.
Stille Nacht (Silent Night)

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
