Lot of entertaining discussions and debate on Csblog.

Yup, we all disagree/conflict with each other at one point or another, but with this topic, we're all together.

Yessir, love CsBlog. I'd retire and post full-time, if I could... but Social Security seems to think an able-bodied 32 year old is somehow on top of the world? Pfft.

Merry Christmas, Celticsblog.

My gift to you is a famous poem by german author Theodor Storm about "Knecht Ruprecht", a northern version of Krampus.

From out the forest I now appear,
To proclaim that Christmastide is here!
For at the top of every tree
are golden lights for all to see;
and there from Heaven’s gate on high
I saw our Christ-child in the sky.

And in among the darkened trees,
a loud voice it was that called to me:
‘Knecht Ruprecht, old fellow,’ it cried,
‘hurry now, make haste, don’t hide!
All the candles have now been lit --
Heaven’s gate has opened wide!

Both young and old should now have rest
away from cares and daily stress;
and when tomorrow to earth I fly
“it’s Christmas again!” will be the cry.`

And then I said: ‘O Lord so dear.
My journey’s end is now quite near;
but to this town I’ve still to go,
Where the children are good, I know.’

‘But have you then that great sack?’
‘I have,’ I said, ‘it’s on my back.
For apples, almonds, fruit and nuts
For God-fearing children are a must.’

‘And is that cane there by your side?’
‘The cane’s there too,’ I did reply;
but only for those, those naughty ones,
who have it applied to their backsides.’
The Christ-child spoke: ‘Then that’s all right!
My loyal servant, go with God this night!’

From out the forest I now appear;
To proclaim that Christmastide is here!
Now speak, what is there here to be had?
Are there good children, are there bad?
In the summer of 2017, I predicted this team would not win a championship for the next 10 years.

3 down, 7 to go.

 Fun facts. Christmas was actually Illegal in Massachusetts for 22 years around the 1870 period. Puritans were against the feasting and felt like it was related to Pagan rituals they were trying to escape.
