Silent monks

Thanksgiving's arriving late this year has put me off my game. We've a number of holiday traditions to squeeze into smaller space, so I need to catch up. Today's replay is becoming one of my holiday favorites. You've watched, Burl Ives Rudolph one hundred times, another airing of the Silent Monks on a cold, St. Nicholas morn will do us all a world of good.




Even after a dozen airings it's still pretty funny.

The most important element necessary for any tradition to flower is repetition. We celebrate annual events each year the same way we always have. Over time the repetition becomes codified, and any deviance from the norm is dealt with. Imagine the December holiday season without multiple airings of Frosty, or the Christmas Carol.

Harder still is to imagine a holiday season without airing reruns of my favorite holiday posts. In real life its called regifting. I hope you this one makes you smile.



Happy Holidays
