A Christmas Gift

Last year I posted several Polish Christmas carols for visitors. Stylistically, they were a mix.

This year, I thought I’d put up a few Christmas carols in a more “formal” style.

I’m not sure about my translations of some of the titles. Some of them just don’t sound right…suggestions?

Kinga and I wish you the best this Christmas season.

The Great Deception

If you rearrange the letters of "Santa," you can make the word "Satan." Coincidence? Another term for "Satan" is "Old Nick." Another term for Santa Claus is "Saint Nick." Coincidence? Santa Claus descends into fire -- just like the Devil. Coincidence? Santa is dressed in red. The traditional images of the devil have him dressed in red. Coincidence?

In most people's world, yes, all these things are coincidences. But in the tilted universe of Blow the Trumpet, it's most decidedly not a coincidence, but rather part one of the greatest deceptions ever pulled over mankind's eyes.

It leaves you shaking your head and very pessimistic about the general intelligence of our species, but it's worth it.

And so, I now present "The Great Deception."
