A Secular Christmas Lullaby | Thingamababy on 26th of December 2009

[...] The song begins with a bit of a secular rant, but is really about what a non-religious person values in Christmas and half-way through you realize it’s a message to his now 3-year-old daughter. [...]

EmilyRose on 25th of December 2009

Alex on 1st of January 2008

Nice job, congrats, and do not forget to buy a digital camera :)

Me. on 17th of December 2007

Tim
Seems to me that all your posters are ither 17 year old girls or women your age, so that part of your career is a sucsess. Congratulations. Oh, and good job on your daughter. She seems lovely. Please think about touring Ca again, and giving us more notice. I only just found out about your proformance in LA.

Best wishes
H.

Ellen (I like jasmine tea...mmm, tea) on 28th of November 2007

Once again, sorry form being late for Vi’s 1st birthday. She is absolutely beautiful. (don’t get jealous Tim, we (i) still love you. TTFN

nin on 27th of November 2007

hey tim lol ur awsum! i hope vi dusnt eat pigs luv nin

Jeshika on 23rd of November 2007

Hey Tim! And Vi, of course.
It’s the 23rd here in AU, so HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY FOR TOMORROW VI

johanna on 19th of November 2007

Why are you using your child as an accessory? Aren’t there bylaws even in the UK? This is obvious cruelty and someone should notify the authorities. On a more genuine note – what a lovely moment. Dad looks like he hasn’t slept in months, perhaps he was holding his breath in anticipation? God (meaning whatever force that brings the good things) bless you, your wife and Violet. lovely all. (New York here)

camilla on 17th of November 2007

(its her bithday soon, i hate birthdays, it shall now be….THE FIRST ANNUAL CELEBRATION OF THE CERTAIN DATE OF HER INTRODUCTION INTO THIS OXYGEN AND AL GORE FILLED WORLD, MAY GOD BE WITH HER)

she has an absolutely beautiful back of her head, really spectacular!

also, i would love to know why various people above have taken to referring to little violet as ‘it’ instead of ‘her’ or ‘the luckiest kid on this green earth that tim lives in’

infact me and my only-friend-left-who-will-now-still-listen-to-me-talk-about-you-for-hours-on-end (gasp…breathing is good) were anting about how cool it must be to have you as a dad, and HER mind isn’t even in a state of full conciousness yet (can’t wait for that)! and the envy that streams from us daily as we just have normal dads.

violet is a lucky little special girl, and you are going to be a one-of-a-kind dad!

x

Jaxx on 10th of November 2007

This is one of those incredibly late congratulations you get from those friends you never see, who see you and forgot that you had a kid and then some one says you do so they congratulate you halfway through a conversation apologising only slightly and saying somehting about a trip overseas as well as food poisoning to make it seem as thought they knew all along.
Yeah.
One of those late congratulations.
Beautiful name too. She looks adorable.
Jaxx

Sarah (not your wife) on 13th of March 2007

I’ve commented on this picture before on my space, but it’s just such a beautiful relaxed shot, it’s quite moving actually! She’s gonna grow up being so proud that you’re her dad, and I can imagine you’ll an amazing dad who’ll want to give her the world :)

It’d be cool for you to post new photos of your family occasionally, I bet she’s growing up fast!

Chris on 10th of February 2007

How much for the baby?

Johna on 1st of February 2007

very nice! though it does look like you’ve been trying to breastfeed her yourself!
I do hope this doesnt mean you won’t be doing the fringe this year, your show is the highlight of the festival for our company, ‘the village idiots’. our dirctors baby will be one during our run, you should come and swap baby stories!
many congratulations Mr. Minchin

Alix on 25th of January 2007

Well just new to this commenting invention here, so here is a late congratulation!! Shes the sweetest thing!! She really is lucky to have a dad like you, how long you gonna wait till you show her all your work? Must be wierd watching your parents on the tele or in shows. Well anyways, well done Tim!!
xxxxxx

Hugh on 13th of January 2007

Congratulations Tim, I hope to catch your show when it comes to Durham – I’m trying to rouse a big crowd from the University to come with me!

Don’t feed her any donuts – you’ll regret it when she’s in her teens (you’re probably quite bored of that joke).

Steph on 4th of January 2007

all i can say is she’s absolutely gorgeous. seriously. just like her daddy :) she’s extremely lucky to have you as a father Tim.
best wishes!
xxxSteph

Janey on 21st of December 2006

I do congratulate you, your family and friends for having a new member but I must say; maybe it’s because this post is nearly a month old maybe it’s because the protective ‘must cuddle now’ hormone has started to wear off after being just over a year since my own sons birth (his birthday is 2 days before your daughters) or maybe it’s because I am a mother and thus drawn to men who would/do make good daddies but all i can really think when looking at that photo is “Dammit, you’re sizzling.”

*bad llama*

EmO_eChIdNa on 17th of December 2006

move back to aust! raise vi in australia!!! the best country in the world so that she gets our comedy not the dodgy brittish stuf!! lol asutralias gonna take home the ashes!

EmO_eChIdNa on 17th of December 2006

aww come on! the mascara is the bomb! if only more guys(apart from the emos who are incedently the hottest!) wore more mascara!

Darlene on 14th of December 2006

Excuse me if I engage in a little cheap plugging of me (sounds sort of rude).

Mr.Minchin was kind enough to answer some questions from me, which will appear in a publication next year. However, just for you lucky Tim fans, you can read it now on my website.

Tim seems like a very nice young man, although I’m not sure about the mascara.

Umberto Eco on 7th of December 2006

Jason B. Standing on 3rd of December 2006

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Much love & excitement & joy for the Minchin clan ! Babies are cool. Other peoples’ are a bit weird and kind of look like aliens, but it’s definitely cool to get your own.

Jasmine on 2nd of December 2006

Congrats and Violet looks so adorable. You’re going to make a wonderful father and your wife will make a darling mother. All the best for you and your families futures of smelly nappies lol.

Renee on 1st of December 2006

Congratulations to you and Sarah.

The world (and I’m sure Violet) thanks you for not burdening her with a stupid or misspelled name.

And the estrogen-fuelled call of “N’awwww” rings throughout the globe. She’s very cute.

Louiebugooey on 1st of December 2006

As many times as it has been said before, congrats! She is so adorable.
With any luck she’ll have her dad’s humour, too.

Rowan on 30th of November 2006

COngratulations, though it’s been said a million times over already. Hope it’s the beginning of a beautiful and happy life with the three of you. ^^
Raise her well, Tim (though I don’t doubt you will anyway).

Darlene on 30th of November 2006

Just think, when you take her shopping you can put her in one of those canvas bag things.

She looks lovely. Violet is a lovely old-fashioned name (it was my nana’s name).

Glad to see you and your missus are sensible folk in that regard.

Congratulations. It’s really what life’s all about.

Glenn on 29th of November 2006

Excellent!
All the best to Sarah, Violet and yourself.
Glenn and Belinda

Ruby on 29th of November 2006

Thankyou *so* much Jen. I would have forgotten to watch the montreal festival because i thought it was another repeat. I’m in Perth so your comment gave me the heads up and it’s taping now. I love you.

Jen on 28th of November 2006

congrats, such a gorgeous wee darling!
just saw you on the comedy festival show on tv down here in aus, you had me in hysterics!

You rock dude!

Jono on 27th of November 2006

Maybe she will grow up to be a super hero, then she can be called ‘Ultra-Violet’… ok, i’m sorry, that was a bad joke.
Catch ya round, oh and M… I like your poem!

Em Cowling on 27th of November 2006

Timmy not Timmiy. xx

Em Cowling on 27th of November 2006

Congratulations Timmiy and Sarah! How exciting. Got a rowdy but happy phone call on Saturday morning from your mum (chamagne flowing with Ma &Dad).

M. on 27th of November 2006

I’ve tried to post this comment like a hundred times now. I’m getting tired, it’s 2 am in Salamanca. I just hope I don’t wake up tomorrow to find one hundred nativity poems littering your website…

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Your daddy’s funny
And so are you.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Your daddy looks stoned
Good luck to you!

Roses are red
Violets are blue
You are a beauty
What can you do?

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Get well soon, Sarah
Doo doobe doo

Besitos,
M.

Steph on 26th of November 2006

Awwww, so, so incredibly cute! Congratulations for you and Sarah. And of course congratulations to you, Vi! You have an awesome father. And I’m sure she’d make good friends with my girl. She had a lot of fun listening to you when I was five months pregnant, after all.
Oh, well, guess that peer pressure paid off, didn’t it? Now you have your own morning picture of another… miracle!

grace on 26th of November 2006

Evan on 26th of November 2006

Well done Tim. Congtraducaltions. But now you have to remix your shows and wont be able to make fun of couples with children.

Just another artistic avenue to explore!

Catty of Nedlands on 26th of November 2006

Just had a phone call from the proud greatgrandfather Max (Ellison) with your latest and surely the most exciting news of all. I can see you are a proud dad–congratulation from one of your Perth fans!!! Where are the photos of Violet with her mum? Love to you all.
