Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

The Fifth Night of Hannukah

From our guest poster Bruce Kesler:

In light of the contributions of Jews to Christian celebrations of Christmas, two songs that never caught on:

-         Deck the Halls with Balls of Matzos

-         Jumpin’ around the Chanukah Bush

Some famous Christmas songs written by Jews:

White Christmas

Christmas Song

We Need A Little Christmas

Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer

Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree

A Holly Jolly Christmas

The Christmas Waltz

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow

Silver Bells

I’m Getting Nuttin’ For Christmas

Santa Baby

Santa Claus Is Coming To Town

Sleigh Ride

I’ll Be Home For Christmas

It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

There’s No Place Like Home For The Holidays

Do They Know It’s Christmas (Feed The World)

The United States is the shining light on the hill to all who care for freedom and the land that has given generations of Jewish and other immigrants and refugees the sanctuary and liberties from which they’ve been allowed to heavily contribute back for the benefit of all.
