"Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24" is a combination of "Carol of the Bells" and "God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman." Still one of my favorites.
Yeah I picked up the 3 Tran-Siberian Orchestra albums this year. Great stuff.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

o hey, forgot to mention. Had a good night bowling today after work. First game was rather humorous. I had eight frames where I knocked down 8 pins (other two frames were 9's...just couldn't get the spare). But I loved the 8 of 8 bit. My 2nd game I got 4 spares & a strike (very good for me), rolled a 117 that game. Third game, 97, just missed 100, aaarrggh. My over all average spanning 130ish games is 89. So tonight, much better than average. Totally stoked! New routine, so I'm hoping it helps boost my average to that 100 mark. Yippee.
OK, I really should be in bed. I'm off. Night Bitches!

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Oooh, carols! I do heart Christmas carols, regardless of the whole not-actually-Christian thing. Joy to the World is a favourite, along with O Come All Ye Faithful... but, really, I like pretty much all of them. This week I've taught my little buggers The Twelve Days of Christmas. We are very unmelodic, indeed shouty, and someone/someones jump up for each of the days, doing mad dancing/leaping/milking/flapping gesticulations. Also, my version has 'cha-cha-cha', with synchronised bum wiggle, after "...in a pear tree!" for no reason other than because I like it. The kids also like it.
Meanwhile, man, 2008 had better be a year of me getting back to the gym and cutting out the carbs, because, Jings, I'm horrifyingly unhealthy. It sort of kills me that when I was 5 dress sizes smaller I felt every bit as gloomy and embarassed about my weight as I do now - I mean, that's just stupid, right? And yet there you have it. Anyway, yes - somebody mail me some motivation so I can start feeling and looking better, okay? Pretty please? With cinammon (but not sugar) on top?

Monk put the rope on me, not her, but...I could've been!
I enjoy the baby pictures very much, but oh baby, that was a fun picture!

I look more rad than Lutheranism
This is my mostest favoritest Carol of the Bells, ever (which is one of my favorite carols).
So, is it akin to blasphemy for me to link to my favorite "Bells" medley? (That would be 1990s-era SNL, as performed by the Sweeney Sisters.)
I also love "Merry Christmas, Baby"
My favorite version is by Southern Culture on the Skids. Super sexy.
Mmmm. Yes, indeed.
So, I don't THINK she's talking about me, because Monk put the rope on me, not her, but...I could've been!
Eeeep! Thud. Wibble. Brain broken.

I'd never seen that! Not blasphemy, fun!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Favorite Christmas song ever?
"I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas"(Gayla Peevey)
"Christmas Wrapping" (The Waitressess version, although Spice Girls' aren't that bad)
"Christmas is All Around Us" (Billy Mack. Hee.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

All is well that ends in pizza.
The jazz renditions of classic Christmas songs by the Vince Guaraldi Trio from the Charlie Brown special always make me smile.
But a part of that may be the nostalgia factor.

O Come All Ye Faithful...
I like it in Latin. Yes, I'm pretentious. I'm happier when I don't really understand the words, I guess.
In tangentially related news, our morning Pledge of Allegiance announcer stumbled and had us pledging to "one god... under god..." I thought, this is exactly the problem with reciting it as a... whachamacallit. By rote, basically. You don't think about what you're saying.
Also, I agree with Aimee on the "Christmas is All Around Us" thing. I'm thinking of renting Love Actually for Christmas this year.
