Stephanie, I'm going to start in on SPN over the holiday if I can scratch out a few days off. Can't wait to join the SPN party now that I done crashed the FNL soiree!
Why couldn't you be dealing drugs like normal people?

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[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.

I'm getting the pig!
My three Must Watch Every Year holiday movies are Home for the Holidays, Nightmare Before Christmas and The Ref.
I've become so disappointed in Bones that I can't even remember what I used to love about it. Maybe a rewatch of season one is in order.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Amahl! That one had slipped my mind. I went to school with a guy who had sung Amahl--several years before I met him. I tracked that version down, and it's always been my gold standard.
Anytime is good for A&OL.
I'm sure this has been asked and answered in Music, but what cheesy favorite recordings make up your list of Christmas music, or holiday music?
We had a four-hour reel-to-reel tape with some of the songs from Amahl, some Charlie Bird, Glen Campbell, Julie Andrews. But Tennessee Ernie Ford and We Three Kings and Oh Come, All Ye Faithful announced the holiday season in our house.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
but what cheesy favorite recordings make up your list of Christmas music, or holiday music?
On the cheesy end, I grew up with the Harry Simeone Chorale's Little Drummer Boy LP that my folks bought at the gas station.
But that does have Thurl Ravenscroft doing all the low stuff, so that's cool.
Of course, now I've got a berjillion xmas records and make mixes of just things like Beatnik Exploitation Christmas Songs. (Seriously. I made that mix).

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I, uh, really don't like Love, Actually. That's as mildly as I can put it.
Ayup. (My feelings towards that film can best be summed up as "STAB STAB STABBY HATE STAB")

I love your themed mixes. I still have a Spy Jazz tape around here somewhere.
Our r2r wasn't all cheesy, but therer was a goodly portion of fromage on there.
I'm reminded that I loved S1 Bones, and the Christmas ep was a favorite. I've never regretted abandoning ship in S2, but S1 was a good romp.

I *have* that mix. LOVE it.

I'm watching Better Off Ted on Netflix On Demand and it is hilarious.
I am now also sad that there are only 13 episodes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Christmas music: Do They Know It's Christmas, Feliz Navidad, Adeste Fideles, Little Drummer Boy sung by the Supremes.
Nothing else. Okay, you could slide some more hymns past me, but I don't love them.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

There was a very good reason why I didn't see it when it came out, and now I'm realizing that it's good I haven't bothered to correct that.
