No doubt he most important Christmas carol miscellanea is that Joy to the World is about the second advent, not the first. That is, it's not a Christmas song at all. (It's a nice postmillennialist hymn, if you ask me. Which you didn't. I'm just saying.) But the one to discuss today is, sans punctuation, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen. There is, apparently, a long-standing heated ...

... boredom. However I'm going to try and rectify that. Every Monday I'm going to try and post just a miscellanea of various things that have happened to me over the past week as a way to try and see past the mundane aspects of my life.
