Merry Christmas, Here’s Your Gift
You would have loved your exclusive JG Giftmas ™ this year. We had a handcrafted Christmas message full of cheer. Very endearing! Produced by fair wage diverse indigenous artisans and certified conflict-zone free. The cost to you would have been minimal due to generous green energy subsidies investments provided by the administration, since the message was carbon neutral. You would have loved the spontaneous encomiums to the Biden economy our artisans inserted at the end.
Unfortunately, our message shipment is stuck on a cargo vessel in the Red Sea, stranded for fear of Houthi missiles.
So instead we offer you this authentic 16th century carol.
Hey nonny hey dillo
Christmas wrap-a-rillo
Rip and tear, everywhere
scrappy scrap a scrillow
hey handy dill dandy
Christmas chocolate candy
fatsy wat, pat-a-pat
hey bonny bloato
Merry Christmas!

I’ve taken the liberty of submitting this carol to my friend Thomas “La Bamba” Dill, a professor of Carolingian Studies at Oxford, and he verified its authenticity surprisingly quickly.

Good ol’ La Bamba. Hows he doing these days?

Same as always: merry and jolly and remarkably well-informed about me, my family, and my mesquite trees.
