Merry Christmas To All MFO Members:

FYI: "White Christmas" is an Irving Berlin song reminiscing about an old-fashioned Christmas setting. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the version sung by Bing Crosby is the best-selling single of all time, with estimated sales in excess of 50 million copies

  • Howdy Master,

    Nothing beats the classics. White Christmas must be Bing. Christmas Song must be Nat. etc.

    Hope you are well old friend and continue that way.

    Happy holidays,

    Have a Merry, Merry Christmas, Ted. In a way, you are a MFO Santa bringing us a bag of gifts to sort through and play with every day. Thanks for a year full of goodies.
  • @Anna: Same to you, and I enjoy bringing MFO's a bag of gifts to sort through and play with every day.

    More seriously, as DVDrehle put it in WaPo:

    ... the "story is about erasing divisions and distinctions and borders and walls. A Jewish baby is born in Palestine in abject poverty and hailed as a king. An unwed teenager becomes the ideal mother, and her baffled boyfriend the model of manhood. Angels from heaven choose for their audience a scraggly band of sheepherders with dirty hands and the stink of work upon them. And relentless foreigners, lacking proper papers, pursue a beacon of liberty, traveling through the night with a light from above.

    You may recognize those last words as a snippet from Irving Berlin, the Russian boy who wrote “God Bless America,” the Jewish songwriter who dreamed a “White Christmas.”

    So very American....."


    Merry and Happy and God bless us, every one.
  • Cheers to one and all. You're among my most active blessings! Cheers, too, to Charles who spent Christmas morning tweaking MFO Premium (I get notices); he must mightily perplex Santa.

    Wishing you peace and joy, now and in the seasons to come.
