Everyone thinks this is the first time we've ever had cold weather.

That's because there is nothing. Democrats hate him because he exposes them for their crimes.

Get over it. You've tried to stick him with everything, and nothing sticks. Get a life.

The meaning of the song “The Twelve Days of Christmas”

That is one Christmas Carol that has always baffled me.

What in the world do leaping lords, French hens, swimming swans, and especially the partridge who won’t come out of the pear tree have to do with Christmas?

From 1558 until 1829, Roman Catholics in England were not permitted to practice their faith openly.

Someone during that era wrote this carol as a catechism song for young Catholics.
It has two levels of meaning: the surface meaning plus a hidden meaning known only to members of the church.

Each element in the carol has a code word for a religious reality which the children could remember:

1. ‘The partridge in a pear tree’ was Jesus Christ.
2. ‘Two turtle doves’ were the Old and New Testaments.
3. ‘Three French hens’ stood for faith, hope and love.
4. The ‘four calling birds’ were the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John.
5. The ‘five golden rings’ recalled the Torah or Law, the first five books of the Old Testament.
6. The ‘six geese a-laying’ stood for the six days of creation.
7. ‘Seven swans a-swimming’ represented the sevenfold gifts of the Holy Spirit–Prophecy, Serving, Teaching, Exhortation, Contribution, Leadership, and Mercy.
8. The ‘eight maids a-milking’ were the eight beatitudes.
9. ‘Nine ladies dancing’ were the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit–Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self Control.
10. The ‘ten lords a-leaping’ were the Ten Commandments.
11. The ‘eleven pipers piping’ stood for the eleven faithful disciples.
12. The ‘twelve drummers drumming’ symbolized the twelve points of belief in the Apostles’ Creed.

So there is your history for today, I found it interesting and enlightening.

"The First Noel"

“Noel” is derived from the Latin verb “nasci,” meaning, to be born. Eventually it trickled down into the French reference for the Christmas holiday. Defined, it literally means, “a Christmas carol” (Merriam Webster). The very world “Noel” is synonymous with Christmas.
It’s quite possible that the tune of this song has been played since the 1200s. Davies Gilbert added the lyrics in the 1800s, and it was published in 1823. The song retells the story told in Luke 2, of the angels telling the shepherds in the field of the impending birth of the Savior, and the wise men who are following a star to bring Him gifts.
Embracing Noel sends us traveling back to an ancient era, where our timeless Savior was born. The word used to describe the day of His birth became an anthem in celebration of the day of His birth. Though the angels sang in celebration of His birth first, we get to share in that joy of His coming by singing along today.

"O Come, O Come, Emmanuel"

Historically an Advent song, “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel” exudes the angst of a people waiting for their Savior. With references to the Rod of Jesse and the Key of David, it describes the Old Testament prophecies of Jesus Christ, which in turn brings the New Testament into an even brighter light.
The first verse of the song speaks of the Son of God appearing. When we sing this classic Christmas carol, we are lauding the Lord over stanzas of Scripture that took over 800 years to be fulfilled. Isaiah spoke of the Messiah’s birth around 740-680 BC: “Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel” (Isaiah 7:14). Centuries later, Matthew recorded these words: “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”; Matthew 1:23).

"God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen"

In Mark 2, Jesus tells a demon to be quiet, and to come out of a man. They have no choice but to bow under His authority. Christmas was a turning point in God’s plan for our freedom. Out of the 16th century, a carol was birthed to sing praise to happiness! “Merry” sprints past the laughter shared at the expense of a stunt gone wrong or a hilarious joke … it’s a state of pure joy!
“Let nothing you dismay,
For Jesus Christ our Savior
Was born upon this Day.”

In the push of commercialism, we forget how happy we are supposed to be. Jesus has come, “To save poor souls from Satan’s power…” as John 3:16 assures us: “For God expressed His love for the world in this way: He gave His only Son so that whoever believes in Him will not
face everlasting destruction, but will have everlasting life.”


"Joy to the World"

Isaac Watts penned the lyrics to “Joy to the World,” but God Himself ordained the Scripture that is referenced throughout its stanzas. Psalm 98, Psalm 96:11-12 and Genesis 3:17-18 are all embraced in the beautiful truth of what Christmas is really about. Since 1719, we’ve had a melody to weave around the embrace of these promises. They are timeless and without boundary.
“And so, let the heavens resound in gladness! Let joy be the earth’s rhythm as the sea and all its creatures roar. Let the fields grow in triumph, a grand jubilee for all that live there. Let all the trees of the forest dig in and reach high with songs of joy before the Eternal” (Psalm 96:11-12).
“Joy to the World” is a repetition of God’s promises; ones that we need to repeat to ourselves far beyond the Christmas season. The very definition of the word, “joy,” is “a source or cause of delight” (Merriam-Webster). “He reigns with truth and grace.” He is righteous, He has come, and sits at the right hand of the Father with authority.


"O Little Town of Bethlehem"

In the mid-to-late 1800s, Phillips Brooks was inspired by his visit to Bethlehem to write this song. The foretelling of Jesus’ birth to the small village appears 700-plus years prior in Micah 5:2: “But you, Bethlehem of Ephrathah, of the clans of Judah, are no poor relation—From your people will come a Ruler who will be the shepherd of My people, Israel, Whose origins date back to the distant past, to the ancient days.”
“But in this world of sin
Where meek souls will receive him still
The dear Christ enters in.”
Well into the song, we are reminded of the importance of the fulfilled prophesy of Christ’s birth. Beyond the tiny village of Bethlehem, long after He rose to be seated beside His Father, souls would continue to find freedom in what began by his visit to Bethlehem.

"Hark! The Herald Angels Sing"

Charles Wesley, in an effort to share the gospel with ordinary people, wrote “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing” in 1739, among many other famous hymns. It seems that he, too, knew the power of melody upon any memory. The very beginning of this classic Christmas carol gives glory to the story Luke told in his gospel.
“Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, ‘Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests’” (Luke 2:13-14).
“Hark! the herald angels sing Glory to the newborn King!” When you’re standing in worship together, singing that song, you are repeating Scripture! This catchy carol highlights the definitive nature of the Christian believer, for we solely embrace the fact that Jesus came here in the flesh, died, was resurrected, and ascended to heaven.
“Hail the Flesh, the God Head see Hail the incarnate Deity Pleased as man with man to dwell Jesus, our Emmanuel!”

"Away in a Manger"

This is one of the most popular of all Christmas Carols, it’s authorship is debated. “Away in a Manger” sweetly sings of the baby in the manger, lying peacefully amidst dire circumstances. God is not challenged by inconvenience, as proven by the way His Son made entrance into the world. He walked where we trod, looked up at the same stars we gaze upon, and succumbed to the same rotation of day and night that we exist through each 24 hour cycle of light and darkness.
“I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle ‘til morning is nigh.”
On the flip side of the stars, He sits at the right hand of the Father. Born of humble nature and exalted as King of Kings, this carol truly tells the story of Jesus’ birth. Unpredictable as His circumstances might have appeared, it came to pass exactly like God said it would. The night that Jesus cried out from the manger, heaven sang praise of the One who would set humanity free from the shackles of sin by His sacrifice.

"O Holy Night"

Adolphe Adam is credited for authorship of this carol back in 1847. One night set the course of humanity on a different plan of action. Through Jesus’ death, we are set free. One birth, out of the many that occur on earth each day, set the greater destiny of all time in motion. We are redeemed by His grace. And the angels knew He was on a different level than mere minds wrapping around fulfilled prophesy.
“Fall on your knees! O hear the angel voices! O night divine, the night when Christ was Born; O night, O holy night, O night divine!”
Merriam-Webster defines “holy” as: exalted or worthy of complete devotion as one perfect in goodness and righteousness. Christ is perfect, and Christmas is the celebratory genuflection of His choice to come into a world caked with sin to bring us home. It’s not a choice everyone will make, but everyone will have a choice; every ear will hear. “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come” (Matthew 24:14).

“Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire”

In 1945, Mel Tormé saw a spiral note pad on his song writing partner, Robert Wells, piano with four lines written in pencil. Wells had been suffering from a blistering hot summer and in an effort to "stay cool by thinking cool" wrote four lines on that spiral note pad; 'Chestnuts roasting’..., ‘Jack Frost nipping’..., ‘Yuletide carols’, and ‘Folks dressed up like Eskimos’. Bob didn't think he was writing a song lyric. He said he just thought if he could immersed himself in thinking about winter he could cool off. Tormé spotted the potential in the lyrics and Forty minutes later the two wrote the song called "The Christmas Song" commonly subtitled "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire".
The Nat King Cole Trio first recorded the song in spring 1946. At Cole's behest – and over the objections of his label, Capitol Records – a second recording was made later the same year utilizing a small string section, this version became a massive hit on both the pop and R&B charts. Cole recorded the song in 1961, with a full orchestra. Cole's 1961 version is generally regarded as definitive.

“Silent Night”

The words of Silent Night were written by a Priest called Fr. Joseph Mohr in Mariapfarr, Austria, in 1816. The music was added in 1818, by his school teacher friend Franz Xaver Gruber, for the Christmas service at St. Nicholas church in Oberndorf, Austria.
Fr. Mohr asked Franz Gruber to compose the melody with a guitar arrangement. It was several years later that Franz Gruber wrote an arrangement for the organ.
The original words of the song were in German (and it was called 'Stille Nacht! Heilige Nacht') and translated in to English went:
Silent night, holy night,
Bethlehem sleeps, yet what light,
Floats around the heavenly pair;
Songs of angels fills the air.
Strains of heavenly peace.
It's thought that the song might have traveled around the area with an organ repairman, Karl Mauracher, who could have taken an early arrangement with him in about 1820. Then two singing families seem to have discovered the song and performed it as part of their concerts. In December 1832, the Strasser family performed it at a concert in Leipzig. It was first performed in the USA in 1839 by the Rainer family, who sang 'Stille Nacht' at the Alexander Hamilton Monument outside Trinity Church in New York City. During this time the tune changed to the one we know and sing today!
It was translated into English in 1863 by John Freeman Young. The carol was sung during the Christmas Truce in the First World War in December 1914 as it was a song that soldiers on both sides knew!
By the time that the carol was famous, Fr Mohr had died. Franz Gruber wrote to music authorities in Berlin saying that he had composed the tune, but no one believed him and it was thought that Haydn, Mozart or Beethoven had written it! But then the 1820 manuscript was found and in the top right corner Fr Mohr had written: 'Melodie von Fr. Xav. Gruber.'.
It's now one of the most, if the most, recorded songs in the world!

“White Christmas”

Composer Irving Berlin didn’t write “White Christmas” full of Christmas cheer: He usually spent the day visiting the grave of his three-week-old son, who died on Christmas in 1928, which helps explain the melancholy feel of the song. When Bing Crosby made the song famous on a broadcast in 1941, it was a mere 18 days after the attack on Pearl Harbor.
When Crosby traveled overseas to perform for troops, the song was the most requested. “I hesitated about doing it because invariably it caused such a nostalgic yearning among the men, that it made them sad,” he said in an interview. “Heaven knows, I didn’t come that far to make them sad. For this reason, several times I tried to cut it out of the show, but these guys just hollered for it.”
For 72 years, it has remained the most popular Christmas song.

“Frosty the Snowman”

In 1950, Walter Rollins and Steve Nelson wrote the song “Frosty the Snowman” for Gene Autry, who hit it big the year before singing “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.”
However, Frosty was more of a wintertime song than a holiday tune. In fact, it wasn’t until 1969 that Christmas was incorporated into the song’s lyrics for a TV special. The original lyrics were, “But he waved goodbye, saying, ‘Don’t you cry. I’ll be back again someday.’” They were changed for the animated show to be sung, “But he waved goodbye, saying, ‘Don’t you cry. I’ll be back on Christmas Day.’”

“Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer”

Some Christmas songs aren’t quite in the holiday spirit and “Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer” is definitely one of them. However, it became one of the most popular Christmas songs ever composed.
Randy Brooks, who lives in East Dallas, wrote the song back in 1977. He was playing in local clubs with his band and often wrote funny songs to make the crowd laugh.
When Brooks heard the Merle Haggard song, “Grandma’s Christmas Card,” he thought he could make a funny take on the death of a grandmother during Christmas.
“How would Grandma die at Christmas time? So there was my title line. You know, I thought get hit by Santa’s sleigh. So, grandma got ran over by a reindeer,” said Brooks.
When Brooks played it in his show on one occasion, the group Elmo and Patsy were in the audience and asked to record it. It’s been a fan favorite since 1979.
Consider this: "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer" was more popular for several years in the '80s than the undisputed king of Christmas songs, Bing Crosby's "White Christmas."

At that time in history those gifts were very practicable.

Interestingly, you can still get shingles even if you've has the vaccine. It is not 100% effective, even though you could get it, it will not be as bad.

Stop making excuses for Bidens policies. Covid had nothing to do with his destruction on the economy. Spend, spend, spend.

You will parrot the liberal spin on this incident like all good Nazis do. But the bottom line is MV people along with all other Democrats are hypocrites.

Just another politically motivated move by the NY AG. The timing of the suit sat all. She's abusing her office. This is a civil case not a criminal one, because no laws were broken.
