A Christmas Curiosity
While looking at various websites about medieval/renaissance-y Christmas stuff (b/c Casino Royale ended half an hour ago and I'm home alone with nothing to do), I came across a rather interesting Christmas carol. It's kind of hilarious in that it portrays Jesus doing (and having done to him) some things that one usually doesn't expect. It's certainly a nice counterpart to the other carol I like: the Coventry Carol, which is about the slaughter of the innocents. Of course, there's always "What Child Is This?" - you can't go wrong with Greensleeves.
My Christmas has been dull. Being an atheist (the only one in my house) and also too sick to leave the house (according to my mom anyway), I skipped church, which meant spending almost all day alone. Why they needed to leave at 1:00 for a program that started at 5:00 is beyond me. At any rate, after Love Actually and twice through A Christmas Story, there wasn't much left to do but sit in the dark and bug the other atheists online. It's a shame we're such a select group. At any rate tomorrow should be good. At any rate, it will begin with presents for the kids, be extended family-free, and end in Chinese food.
Merry Jingly, everybody!
