mon., 24 dec., 2012, countdown 2 xmas, pt. xxxiv.: give us This Day our Daily Curse



LATIN: “Patrem natalem mortus est.” 

‡ ) “Father Christmas is dead.”  /  “Santa Claus is dead.” — a reverse-engineered translation of what 19th. C. Germ. philologist & couch pope Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche might have said if he’d gotten around to it, to which an ancient Roman probably reply, “Christmas? Never heard of it.”
