Pretty sure my son is singing that song today at the holiday show. (Side note: I wish they sang a few traditional carols along with the other stuff. I get why it's fallen by the wayside, but I just like them.)
Wesley: All right. I'm going to let you all in on something you may have trouble comprehending. I assure you however-- Gunn: Vampires are real. Wesley: I was telling!

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2013: That Was the Year That Was
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Thanksgivukkahmas, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Out you go, 2013!

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen
After the Welcome to Night Vale show last night, I met up with Tom Scola at The Bell House, and it turns out that he was also my Secret Santa! So not only did I get a bag of super-cool gifts (a gift card to The Strand, four awesome books [David Byrne's How Music Works, Kate Beaton's Sketchbook, Henry and Glenn Forever and Ever, #3 (HAHAHAHA!), and the Short Stack Grits cookbook], and a make-your-own mustard kit [so that I can have DIY, urban, artisinal, Brooklyn-Brooklyn, mustard-mustard]), I got to have beers with and hang out with Scola, too, so DOUBLE GIFTS!
BEST!

Okay, I do enjoy playing voyeur to the Secret Santa exchange.

Dillo's class sang "There was a pig went out to dig," (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEYdwjBuRKw) at the school holiday concert last night. So some places do traditional carols!

You guys, I forgot about this thread until today! I wasn't subscribed to it for some reason. I love reading about everyone's Secret Santa shenanigans, even though I also didn't have the spoons to participate.
The holiday ones, smooched together on and under the mantle. [link]
Are they all from anonymous people, or did they sign their names? Because I want to know who sent the Free Beer card. That is hilarious!

There are names in some. Some people have sent more than one. I'll look at that card when I get home, or maybe the person can email you.

Nothing says Merry Christmas like FREE BEER, man.
