I SAW MOMMY KISSING SANTA CLAUSE.
A kid sees her mother kissing and tickling Father Christmas. The kid's father must be resigned to being a cuckold or have a strange sense of humor if he would have "a laugh" about seeing his getting cozy with a fat bearded man underneath the mistletoe.
RUDOLPHThis song has always bugged the shit out of me. A reindeer is born looking different from his peers, they reject him because of it and the big man in charge condones it all. But suddenly he comes in handy and everyone changes their minds and Rudolph is all, "Yes, Masssa, I'd a-luv tah guide yall's sleigh tonight!"
I heard a version at work that had a verse that said something about, "Rudolph said, 'No! I ain't havin' none of this!'"
LITTLE DRUMMER BOY
My favorite Xmas song, when it's done very traditionally and simply. The lines "I played my best for him...I played my drum for him" brings tears to my eyes. Not that that's hard or anything, but still. It's moving for me to imagine the LDB putting doing the very best he can and being all like a little toddler saying "I played my drum for him!"
CAROL OF THE BELLS
Love it. I don't know if I'm stating it correctly, but it's all verses I think. There is no chorus, but there is a lot of repition in the sounds until the really great words at the end
"Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas,Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas,On on they send,on without end,their joyful tone to every homeDong Ding dong ding, dong Bong."
AVE MARIA
I put this on my iPod sometimes at all times of the year. It's just plain good.

What's freaks me out about that song is that the kid is traumatized by seeing his mom make out with who he thinks is another man, and yet... he doesn't sound upset enough.
That's what I was getting at. (The renditions I've heard have been females singing, and one sounds like Baby Jane at her most deranged.)
Jenny, re-read what I said, re-engage the old thinker for a minute, and then STFU.

The one that I was remembering was that he hung mistletoe above the urinals at the restaurant. The gen. manager was *furious*.

Smells I like:
Dirtcoconutthe smell of clean, fresh sweatrain
My dumb ex hated the smell of rain, something that I could never understand. How can you actually HATE that smell? He too was not a fan of sunny days, but only because he was too fabulous to be out during sunlit hours. He had blackout curtains on his windows and would put of blankets on my windows when he stayed over. He even tacked up a quilt over the bathroom skylight. Then he and his DJ friends would hang out talking about "I just don't understand how anyone can work a day job" like most people would say "I don't understand how anyone can sell heroin to middleschoolers."

"Sparkling Snow" from Glade. I stock up on cans of this during the holidays. Also, pine-scented candles.

I like early spring, because of cool, breezy days. And I like outdoor activities.

Make sure it's all in a ziploc bag too if you're carrying it on. If you're checking the bag none of this matters.

That is also how you can tell I'm gay. I have a copy of All About Eve displayed prominently atop my television as we speak.
