RIP Meadowlark Lemon...and Lemmy Kilmister

     CNN, Harlem Globetrotter Meadowlark Lemon, famed hoops jester, dies at 83; BBC, Lemmy, Motorhead frontman, dies aged 70 after cancer diagnosis.

     If they both somehow get into Heaven (I'm not sure about #2), that may be quite a partay.

     Saints Dominic of Silos, Peter Canisius, John Kanty, and Stephen, and Blessed Jacopone da Todi, around this time of remembering St. Francis of Assisi's creating the first Christmas crib at Greccio in Italy, and this time of the Feast of the Solemnity of the Nativity of the Lord, please pray for us.

Virgin Mary as "Christmas Eve" etc.

     The Blessed Virgin Mary, mother of You-Know-Whom, has often been called the "New Eve", i.e., making up for the mistakes of the old one.

     So can we also call that former, blessed lady by the name of "Christmas Eve"? ?? ???

     Your call, as usual. --Hang your stockings with care, etc.

Slovenians say "sorry" to same-sex marriage

     See yesterday's BBC, Slovenia rejects gay marriage in referendum.

     They've allowed civil unions for nine years, though. So maybe they aren't such terrible bigots after all. Your call.
