Did i mention that Alanis Morissette has also included a divine feminine or 'divinely feminine' (depending on how u choose 2 understand it) interpretation of the auld Christian Christmas classic 'Oh Holy Night' on her new album
'Good Weather for Immaculate Conception?' 🎶 🎵

Alanis Morissette's 1st Christmas album 🎄 🤶 🧑🎄
"Good Weather for Immaculate Conception"
has been released! 🇨🇦
1st time ever an artist
has thought 2 dedicate a song
"To an empath at christmas time"
(That's the name of the song btw)
Yes, Virginia, empaths really do exist

A little 'Canadian' nuancing around the word 'soda' 🇨🇦
If u were 2 order food online
or at a restaurant here
u may see the word soda on menus
but not likely 2 hear ppl ask 4 soda.
Instead u will hear ppl ask "do u have pepsi?"
Or when ordering pizza asking bae "u want pop?"

An Irish woman who's been living in Canada 4 some time is warning ppl what words not 2 use when returning 2 Ireland 4 xmas
She warned ppl not 2 say 'soda' when referring 2 a 'fizzy drink' or 'minerals'
Then a slew of Canadians reached out 2 say "We don't say soda! We say pop!"

Remember how magical the Moirs chocolate box at Christmas? 🎄
Well of course there were women involved in the making of this magic

Perhaps those of us who live
beside the sea
understand this best:
Life is always in flux.
Knowledge moves in & out of us
all the time
if we r open 2 life
& when we least expect it
something changes.
A custom. A belief.
Try it
Try 2 pin a thunderous wave 2 the shore 4 a time

The Prime Minister of 🇨🇦 is a practicing Roman Catholic.
In Catholicism women can not become ordained as priests or serve on the alter in the same capacity as men.
Yet we know that women's rights & gender equality r deeply codified into constitutional & statutory law in Canada.

America's first Muslim senator when asked about Feminism
said he believes that in order 2 achieve gender equality in America 2 things must work together:
1) Change must happen at the level of culture (attitudes, beliefs, customs)
&
2) women's rights must be codified into law.

I was happy to come across this bit of 'text' on the practice of candles in windows in Irish Catholic homes. My mother had battery operated candles in each of our front windows on xmas & I knew that this was in part related 2 the story of Mary & Joseph seeking refuge in Bethlehem

With all due respect your holiness a lot of us women have done a lot of good things for the church. (Including donating income)
I guess i thought the assignment was 2 follow in the footsteps of the mother of god.
Had i known all we had 2 do 4 a photo opp was 2 write a good song.

4 those of us in the 'west' who've lost sight of our Irish history in America
we might want 2 know of the fear ppl once had about the infiltration of the Irish
We should all say a prayer of gratitide in whatever language we speak 2day 2 whatever God we know 4 courageous leaders
