No Christmas without Fairouz

There is no better way to get into the right Christmas spirit than to listen to Fairouz, actually no Christmas is complete without Fairouz and this is my favourite, Talj Talj.

I like to wish those of my readers that celebrate on the 24th and 25th December a Merry One with family and loved ones, a special thought goes to the refugees and migrants around the globe,being detached from their loved ones, the Baby Jesus being the ultmate refugee, soon after his birth, leaving his native country for Egypt.

Enjoy the song!

Merry Christmas from the land of Peace

I would like to wish my readers a Merry Christmas with carols and camels from the land of peace, who once was hospitable enough to take in and shelter a baby called Jesus.

Nowadays it seems that the authorities have given the border guards carte blanche to shoot first and ask later, upon departure from Egypt. Just as long as it can be established that you have the wrong colour of skin and would like to enter the holy land. It sounds pretty much like what King Herod did on the other side of the border in the land of milk and honey some 2000 years ago.
