HoHoHo
A delightful Christmas and extended holiday season to you all. Snuggle up, stay warm and safe.
Here are perhaps my favorite carols. The first is a combination of two Gustav Holst arrangements, This have I Done For My True Love and Lullay, My Liking:

and a powerful rendition of Carol of the Bells by the Ohio State Marching Band:

Once upon a time, we used to send Christmas cards that we designed ourselves. Mrs. Perils is is a terrific cartoonist, and she would do colored pen drawings and we’d go off to a print shop to have them color-Xeroxed.
I’m not sure what year this is from, but it seems apropos for this year of economic disarray (click to enlarge):
“Losses of this magnitude can hardly be explained away by the increased cost of reindeer food, Mr. Claus”
Very nice carols, indeed! I love the card! If you have saved others, it would be quite a present for your readers to post them here. Give Mrs. Perils my regards and please express to her my appreciation for her extraordinary artistic talents.
Mrs. Perils is a wonderful artist. I too would love to see more of her work. I hope you and the entire Peril clan had a wonderful, warm, and bright Christmas.
Yes! Happy Holidays to you and yours.
Poor Old Santa…
John - yes, we have others around, and they totally rock. I’ll look around.
Robin - thanks, and the same back atcha.
Kathy - yes, poor Santa, but he should have put the money into inventory instead of derivatives.
