Christmas Carol Conundrum Cacophonous Conclusion

Since you endured all 21 Christmas Carol Conundrums, I thought I'd give you number 22 in the original style first established by speakers of real English.  Most of our songs have been dumbed down for the masses, and most people don't even realize that there was a time when language was more precise.  Even our beloved Christmas Carols have been reduced to the point of insulting simplicity.  "Jingle Bells" for example is only the pedestrian version of the original "Tintinabulation of vacillating pendulums in inverted, metallic resonant cups" we used to sing up in the ivory tower.

So, for all of you Courageous Conquerors of Contemporary Conundrums who deserve a refreshing sample of how we used to sing these songs back in the good old days, may I present........

ME, wishing YOU, a MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Christmas Carol Conundrums Seven!

In case you are asking yourself; "When will this stupid list ever end?"  I have an answer.  Whether you like it or not, today's post contains the concluding collection of chaotic Christmas Carol Conundrums.  So, whether you like it or not, here they are.  And these are the best!

A classic:

"Proceed forth declaring upon a specific geological alpine formation."

Perhaps you've been waiting for this one, especially celebrated by the secular culture,

"Tintinnabulation of vacillating pendulums in inverted, metallic resonating cups."

And finally this sacred lullaby which so embodies the simplicity and beauty of the Gospel!

"In a distant location the existence of an improvised unit of newborn children's furniture."


Well, there is ONE more, but perhaps I will try to compress its embellished verbiage into song and post the video tomorrow!  So, since you will probably not ever come back to MILLERWRITES again, let me say

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Christmas Carol Conundrums Six!

For extra bonus points, which famous singer of a few decades ago made this song his own?

"In awe of the nocturnal time span characterized by religiosity."

And here is another one I would rather "enjoy" for maybe only two or three days.  Like that's gonna happen!

"Geographic state of fantasy during the season of mother nature's dormancy."

This one should appeal to all of you English majors; if only you would admit who you are!

"The first person nominative plural of a triumvirate of far eastern heads of state."


(Did I mention that, sadly, I did not compose these CCC's?  Only wish I had.  And since I've had this list for a few decades, I have no idea where they came from.)

Christmas Carol Conundrums Five!

This one will chill you good!

"Obese personification fabricated of compressed mounds of minute crystals."

And is this your present circumstance?

"Expectation of arrival to populated area by mythical, masculine perennial gift giver."

Or tonight, will you be...

"Natal celebration devoid of color, rather albino, as a hallucinatory phenomenon for me."?


(Hope not.  I really don't like to shovel!)

Christmas Carol Conundrums Four!

Had enough yet?  I don't think you have!

I like this one a lot but it makes me wish all the more that I had come up with these.

"Diminutive masculine master of skincovered percussionistic cylinders."

The unfortunate thing about creativity is that once someone comes up with something, it can never be "come up with" again!  But, we can share right?

"Omnipotent supreme being who elicits respite to ecstatic distinguished males."

And especially for those suffering in Connecticut right now, we all wish them...

"Tranquility upon the terrestrial sphere."



Lord, please do pour out a comfort and a peace that can come from nowhere else.  And forgive us our debts.  In Jesus name.

Christmas Carol Conundrums Two!

Got brains?

Well Merry Christmas, let's see how they're working today!

Here's a Carol we sang in church last week to kick off the season:

"An emotion excited by the acquisition or expectation of good given to the terrestrial sphere"

That's a tough one to sing in one breath, but this one is a little easier to manage.

"Embellish the interior passageways"

When was the last time you used the word "hearkened" outside of the Christmas season?

"Exalted heavenly beings to whom hearkened"

Christmas Carol Conundrums!

So who is up for some MILLERIFFIC Christmas Caroling?  Not that MILLER thought of these, but he is sharing the fun!


How about let's get together and sing this old favorite?

"Move hitherward the entire assembly of those who are loyal in their belief"

Or this classic made so infamous in It's a Wonderful Life?

"Listen, the celestial messengers produce harmonious sounds"

You don't recognize these carols?

Well what about this one?

"Nocturnal timespan of unbroken quietness"

Leave your unwoven song title in the comments below.  We shall see what we shall see.
