Christmas Music

A discussion of the better things in life, including music, the arts, wine, beer, cigars, scotch, gambling the Quatloosian way, travel, sports, and many other topics. [Political and religious discussions and the like should stay off-site.]

After spending over 10 years working in retail, this work by Monty Python veteran is the only Christmas song that express what I truly feel about the holiday.

Needless to say, it is NOT SAFE FOR WORK!

Actually on a related note, I have a personal mission to see how far I can go without hearing on a radio or in a store &c ""Merry Xmas Everybody"" by Slade (a perennial favo(u)rite on this side of the Atlantic).

Last year. the first time was in mid-November. This year, I am on track to beat the all-time record of 15 December.

Can't cut a rug yet CK, I'm still in The Boot. I've decided I need a bounce zone at the foot of the stairs, kinda like the ones they use in Cirque de Soleil.

I'll try to find the original "Let's run over Grandma with the John Deere."

I know the "artist."

It's not on the 'net, trust me.
