We went caroling Friday evening at Frank and Mary’s, and had a great time. And the Buddhist Peace Fellowship weekly trip to our local state penitentiary is on Wednesday, and we’re going to do some caroling with the sangha there. To prepare for the caroling sessions, I put together a book of lyrics of some of my favorite carols. It’s set up to print nicely in the very few browsers that understand print media css, particularly the page-break directives. Opera and MS Internet Explorer 8 do that; Safari and Firefox do not. I’d be grateful for any additional info about what works and what doesn’t.

Before I put my own book together, I looked on the web for something that I could use, and found little. There are a lot of carol lyric collections out there, which gave me the starting text for my book, but none of them are formatted well for print, and most of them are (a) pretty unselective, so that there’s a lot of cruft in the collection, and (b) pretty ugly. I’ve tried to stick with the carols that many, and possibly most people know, and I’ve gone for maximum simplicity in the page layout: fairly large type, not much color, and no illustrations. These pages are designed for functionality. I hope they function well for you. Please feel free to pass the link along to anyone who might find it useful.

And a very Merry Christmas, from a confirmed and comfortable atheist.
