Our work is done!

Those relationships are common to all peoples & all musics; you'll hear jazzers, Fall fans, Elvis Impersonators and even Barry Manilow disciples speaking in similar terms. It's only Folkies who make a religion out of it & claim exlusivity to such righteous rootedness, however so remote the chances with respect of the letter o' the 1954 Definition. I can't sing Silent Night without blubbing anyway, so deep are the associations, even for an athiest such as myself who might still be found at Midnight Mass feeling a true sense of such tradition; nigh 2,000 years anyway if they sing the gospel in Latin.
