Today is Gaudete Sunday, which roughly translates as "Joyful Sunday."
Some of you may know of the beautiful song Gaudete, as sung by Steeleye Span (of "All Around My Hat" fame - get their greatest hits CD for some great songs) and latterly by the Medieval Babes (see videos above and below).
Latin for "Rejoice," Gaudete Sunday links in which the expectation of Christ's birth and historically our forefathers would have treated this as the beginning of Christmas (coming as it does sort of midway between the start of Advent and the 'official' 12 days of Christmas).
So enjoy Gaudete Sunday and perhaps we can all start to prepare for Christmas in a way that doesn't involve Cohen's (sorry... Tesco's) and Marks and Spencers.

And for the anoraks out there (or you singalong types) here's the lyric to the song:

How long before your Christian name is replaced with Global Citizen name?
Enjoy celebrating Christmas while you can before the Baal worshipping Syngagogue of Satan have it outlawed as an ant-semitic hate crime.
Pitty we hadn't been walking up the side of Winlatter when you took that photograph for your banner or we'd have fucking drowned you in Bassenthwaite lake that the photograph's of.
Thus speaks the voice of reason! Bow down before the Master of the Gulag you proles. Admire the Boss of the Collective Farm! For he will be the Commissar that ships your children off to the mines to slave for the State!
Should we be scared of him? Or should we tell him to stick his idle threats up his idle arse (which he sits on to watch daytime TV whilst claiming the dole off the State he claims to loathe, but which in reality he depends on and wishes to run with an Iron Heel).
Yes dear reader, as we celebrate millennia of Christian civilisation and its cultural gems handed down to us by our forefathers, all the wannabe Gulag Master can do is threaten, abuse and show his true face: that of the killer, the bully and the ne'erdowell.
Workers of the world unite! You have nothing to fear but the Gulag!
P.S> Whilst longer words may escape my attention from time to time, I do at least know how to spell "pity."
State education just ain't what it used to be! ;-)
People who are part of the collective socialist herd always seem to talk in the plural rather than the singular.
Either that or he's schizophrenic.
How's he got internet access? Doesn't he know that private property is banned under Communism!
You would have had trouble drowning FC, due to the fact that Anarchists and water don't get on very well!
Doesn't he know that Trotsky used to play chess with Baron Rothschild at Cafe Central in Vienna?
Proving why FC and people who visit his blog are against Capitalism and Communism. The same forces control all sides. Capitalists call it Globalism and Communists call it Internationalism. They both amount to the same thing - a Global Gulag Socialist State.
