It's just that in the DINAO version of Little Drummer Boy vs. Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer, I would choose the latter.

Srsly?? I would so go Drummer Boy over Grandma.

I'm saying, THAT'S how much I dislike Drummer Boy. It's all the pa-rum-pa-pums. Seriously. Nonsense words (even if they're meant to be onomatopoeic) bother me. (Similarly, I can't stand "We Go Together," or whatever it's called, from Grease. SPEAK ENGLISH.)

Maybe it's their way of acknowledging that their various relationships are going to survive graduation by four months tops. "We go together like a stream of nonsensical gibberish! Seriously, we have no idea what we're doing here!"

I am profoundly indifferent to the Little Drummer Boy, save from the point of view of its breathtakingly revisionist approach to the Synoptic gospels. I may have to track down the Gurus' version, though, because it could only be improved by the addition of the percussive stylings of "Like Wow - Wipeout".

I also hate LDB. Kind of over Silent Night, too, I gotta say. My favorite Holiday songs are probably Carol of The Bells, First Noel, It Came Upon a Midnight Clear and, for slightly more modern pop: Christmas Wrapping, Christmas in Hollis and Leon Redbone's Xmas music.

I can send it to you. It's called "Little Drummer Boy (Up the Kyber)" done as an instrumental exotic surf guitar workout.

Leon Redbone's Xmas music.

I have a version of Frosty the Snowman, performed by Leon Redbone and Dr. John. It is fantastic.

That whole album is great.

I like "Oh Holy Night" done by a singer who's got the chops for it. I managed it once in my late teens when I had oratorio choir under my belt.

I like The Bitter Withy for its portrayal of Jesus as a psychopath.

What? No God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen fans around here?

DH loves Good King Wenceslas. I think he's the first person I met whose favorite carol is Good King Wenceslas.

I cooked a pork roast in the crock pot last night. I think I over did the trimming of the fat because it was a little dry.

I like God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen and Good King Wenceslas. Away in the Manager is another favorite, but that's more because Dad used to sing it to us at night to help us go to sleep.

I love Oh Holy Night, even sung not so great. Especially if a there's a lot of power on the "fall on your knees" part. Growing up in church it always made me want to react to it, guess go all charismatic. But you don't do that in a Southern Baptist church
