And the Lord shall strike.

Happy to make this a caption contest if the reading several wills it.

As a favour to a friend who has dial up and not broadband I promised to post this picture as he doubted my prophecy. I give you: Next Big Thing for Christmas – the Upside Down Christmas Tree.

The Upside Down Christmas Tree (arbre de parapluie for our French readers) is popular in the US as it saves space, decorations can be better displayed, it’s a conversation starter, and the killer application, you can get more presents and bigger gifts under your tree. Don’t know how we managed before.

There are 358 days of turbo-consumerism left to get a tree. I think there are pre-lit versions for the extra busy.

Here endeth the prophecy.

You better watch out, you’d better not cry…..

Is any toy worth it?

More traumatised children heading for therapy at Santa Claws

The U2 song One works a bit like a hymn especially when sung with Bono’s conviction. There’s an extended version with an extra verse which makes it even more of a spiritual song:

Is it getting better?
Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now?
You got someone to blame
You say
One love
One life
When it’s one need
In the night
One love
We get to share it
Leaves you baby if you
Don’t care for it

Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it’s

Too late
Tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We’re one, but we’re not the same
We get to
carry each other
hurry each other
One

Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus?
To the lepers in your head

Did I ask too much?
More than a lot.
You gave me nothing,
Now it’s all I got
We’re one
But we’re not the same
Well we
Hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can’t be holding on
To what you got
When all you’ve got is hurt

One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life
But we’re not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other

One…
One…

extended version

Can You hear us coming Lord
Can You hear us call
Feel us knocking
We’re knocking at Your door

This cover/smother version takes a good thing in an altogether different direction to where St Bono wasn’t heading:

God Bless the Bank of America. I’m switching.
