Lionel Messi is playing not more than 90 minutes away from me and I am here stuck at work. That is a sacrifice worthy of Christmas. Yes, I know, it’s Christmas this and Christmas that, but forgive me.
Christians mourn the period before Good Friday because that is the day Christ died for all. The period to mourn is advent – before Christmas. We messed it up so badly, that God had to send his Son to die to rescue us. So I don’t feel so bad about Messi. And once you listen to this carol, neither will you:

My Christmas treat for you
Here is a special Christmas treat for all who stop by. I will post a link to a video every time I post a 99. It will feature my favourite Christmas carols as performed by the stars… and a few others also. Of course, they are MY favourites, but as you have come to know if you stop by every other week – my judgement in these matters is to be trusted.
The only time divas are any good is at funerals and Christmas. So 99 kicks off the yuletide party season with the sexiest of them all….

All together now: It's Christmas time!
There is just something about Christmas.
It’s like good times on acid without the hangover, dehydration or guilt. Though all three are liable to find life in January, when the December madness has passed.
But for the moment, let’s just sink in to the season of good cheer and giving – like drowning in sinking sand, except its chocolate.
I could be dead broke, heading for jail, not a single joy in the world, a deadbeat job, and yet, on December 2, when I hear that first Christmas carol…. hope springs eternal… like a fountain of scotch. Seasons greetings!

And so this is Christmas...
And so this is Christmas, and what have we here
For the old and the young ones, a merry, good cheer.
When I was young, Christmas season began with the first carols played on a Sony deck that at the time was a treasured family possession.
As a youth, the season kicked off with a solemn promise to drink everyday till the January 1. We started around Dec15th, but I remember one year beginning on Dec 1.
For my kids, the tree needs to be up for festivities to begin.
Nowadays, I just combine all of the above …
