That time of year...


Well, it's that time of year that people either love or hate. Or perhaps if you're like me both.



With the on set of Christmas coming I often loathe the shopping malls, peoples demands for service they would never dream of giving someone else and the impatience of those who wait in line ups for expensive gifts that have nothing to do with the spirit of the season.

However what I enjoy most about Christmas is that for the most part in my family that has its ups and downs with squabbles, is that everyone shuts up for a day or two and gets along. upcoming weeks to Christmas are often stressful and full of complaints but the week after everyone tends to say they all had a great time and cannot understand why we don't get together more often.

So for today my first list is for those folks who can't get enough of Christmas, most likely due to the fact they don't work in the service industry.

Most of these songs are from the Phil Spector Christmas album which is probably the best holiday album ever made, but some other classics from the Beach Boys add a sunny California warmth to a temperature challenged season.

Here's the songs.


I will also later post some sit by yourself in a poorly lit bar songs for all of those who could do with out, or at least had a regretful day of waking up to a mall.

Until next time, Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah.
