We hope you had a peaceful and blessed Christmas. In case you missed it, here's how the last seven days looked to Mark:
He started the week with the last of our holiday standards this Yuletide season: "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas", recorded by Mark & Jessica in a very merry arrangement.
~On Monday, Steyn looked at the media's new favorite trope in what became our most-read piece of the week: "He's not Muslim, he's just mentally ill."
~As Christmas approached, Mark delivered a lesson from Luke for western civilizational ennui.
~It wouldn't be Christmas Eve without a guest appearance from our old pal Persimmon Coxcomb.
~For Christmas Day, Steyn offered a cornucopia of Yuletide delights.
~On Boxing Day he contemplated the holiday without end.
Mark concluded the week with a quick tour of news stories from Australia to France to Japan, all illustrating the prescience of his bestselling book America Alone.
Just ahead of New Year's Eve, our Saturday movie date rounded up some Auld Lang cinema.
Mark's new CD Goldfinger stuffed many a stocking this Christmas. If yours came up lumps of coal, Goldfinger is still available via iTunes, and at Amazon and CD Baby.
2015 is just around the corner but climate mullah Michael E Mann's lawsuit over Steyn's 2012 blog post cruises on toward the start of its fourth year. We are enormously grateful to all those who've supported Mark's pushback against the global warm-mongers s by purchasing a SteynOnline gift certificate or our limited-time special offer: the Steyn vs the Stick Winter Warmer.
We hope that your New Year is blessedly free of insecure litigious dweebs. A new week at SteynOnline begins tonight with a seasonal Song of the Week.
