Croak!
I didn't mean to drop off the face of the Earth! But you know that feeling I had, that I was getting sick? I was. Friday and today I managed to get out and shuffle around a little bit, but I spent most of the weekend in bed. So yeah, now I am WAY behind!
And tomorrow it's supposed to start snowing and dump 4-8 inches all over us!
Of course, that means that (so long as the power stays on!) I can sit here at home and catch up some LJ and email stuff! Wow, Santa, just what I wanted! And early, too!
Since Christmas is almost here, I am going to have to get going on my list of Christmas songs I wanted to share with everyone. Today, kind of an eclectic mix.
Jackson Browne - The Rebel Jesus
http://download.yousendit.com/DDBAA9DB53E52731
"We guard our world with locks and guns
And we guard our fine possessions
And once a year when Christmas comes
We give to our relations.
And perhaps we give a little to the poor
If the generosity should seize us,
But if any one of us should interfere
In the business of why they are poor
They get the same as the rebel Jesus."
For a rather jaundiced yet funny view of family holiday get-togethers:
Elvis Costello - The St. Stephen's Day Murders
http://download.yousendit.com/6F02F6AA73A16FBC
"And the carcass of the beast left over from the feast,
May still be found haunting the kitchen.
And there's life in it yet, we may live to regret,
When the ones that we poisoned stop twitchin'."
Both of the above are from the truly excellent Christmas CD, The Chieftains, The Bells of Dublin
Now, we head to the Great White North for a classic!
Bob & Doug McKenzie - Twelve Days of Christmas
http://download.yousendit.com/D24921D0078F433D
This one is surprisingly sweet, and even uplifting, whether or not you have the "magic dust" that makes the reindeers, and Santa, fly. :)
Cheech & Chong - Santa Claus and His Old Lady
http://download.yousendit.com/D82316FF6123F2BC
If you are starting to feel a little crazed and desperate, this is the one to download and listen to!
Geezinslaws - Lighten Up, It's Christmas
http://download.yousendit.com/6237471437D0B843
More tomorrow for the REAL Tune Tuesday!
