‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;

Night Before Christmas, Clement Clarke Moore

I hear the distant thunder-hum, Maryland!
The Old Line bugle, fife, and drum, Maryland!
She is not dead, nor deaf, nor dumb-huzza! She spurns the Northern scum!
She breathes! She burns! She’ll come! She’ll come!
Maryland! My Maryland!

State Anthem of Maryland!!!

…voodoo priests of Haiti, the Tibetan numerologists of Appalachia, the unsolved mysteries of ‘Unsolved Mysteries.’ The truth is out there.”
