A Man Who Has Nothing In Particular To Recommend Him Discusses All Sorts of Subjects at Random as Though He Knew Everything

Now the Ground Is White

Here’s wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from everyone at the cottage, even though it’s a granite five-story building now.

Not many people know all the verses of Jingle Bells, but that never made me upsot. How about this one:

Now the ground is white
Go to it while you’re young
Take the girls tonight
And sing this sleighing song
Just get a bobtailed bay
Two forty as his speed
Hitch him to an open sleigh
And crack, you’ll take the lead

Go to it while you’re young is good advice, indeed. Otherwise you won’t have any decent Christmas music hanging around. In case you need some, feel free to press the play button.

  1. Merry Christmas to you and yours! (I had dinner last week at a Chinese restaurant that had a band – you made me smile)

  2. And a Merry Christmas to you and the Mrs. as well.

    I barely remember any of the words to Jingle Bells, nor how many verses I might have known. But I can whistle Pat-a-pan.

  3. A 240 mile is about 22 or 23 miles an hour, I think. That’s pretty good in the snow Spoken like someone who is from Miami and knows Only one thing about snow. Merry Christmas Mr Sipp

  4. MERRY CHRISTMAS to the whole family! Wishing you and yours a wonderful NEW YEAR!
