"Of All The Gin Joints In All The World"

On Saying Merry Christmas To This Substack Gin Joint!

A Very Merry Christmas & Holiday Season to Fellow Substackers.

And to all of our friends out in Substacker land in San Francisco - my hometown -

Chris Best

and

Hamish McKenzie

.

And to all the subscribers and followers and readers of KW Norton Borders - from all around this wondrous galaxy - my sincere thanks and best Holiday Wishes.

A Christmas Celebration - organized in the local worldwide gin joint - where we all gather to drive each other crazy - and to overcome the depressing reality of some of the 2024 circumstances.

Based on a note by fellow substacker

Mark

:

Mark’s note went rather viral for Substack - attracting poetry and all kinds of interesting human communication from across the wilds of Planet Earth.

Please visit the whole conversation to see how wild the party became on this week leading up to Christmas - 2024.

Of all the social media sites - of all planet Earth and the local Galactic Cluster - you all would have to waltz into the same one I am on.

I personally believe it was a stroke of genius for

Mark

to come up with the metaphor of a “weird bar” for where we all find ourselves gathering today.

And maybe Jingle Bell Rock is a better tune for the occasion.

With Feliz Navidad being a close second:

This is not even a Christmas song but it seems to belong in this occasion:

Maybe this one as well:

And Christmas would not be Christmas without a few from fellow Nashvillian ‘s - singer songwriters - Steve Earle and John Prine.
