Fairytale of New York - The Pogues
One of my top 3 Christmas songs! I look forward to the day we actually get to meet and party together Mynx. If I visit my friend Christa in Washington next year I'll definitely try to convince you and your boy to come down to the Washington Ren Fair for a day or two to party.
Off the topic of Christmas but other Holidays make an appearance.
Get fuzzy captures my holiday spirit... it's all about the food.
For some strange reason I always seem to be anti-holiday.... Except Halloween which I embrace full force. Even birthdays... can't stand the standard Happy birthday song, never could, not even as a kid. Occasionally when my brother and I see each other on our respective birthdays we begin by quoting the
first verse of "The Smiths" Unhappy Birthday. if your not familiar with it...
I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday
I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday
'Cause you're evil
And you lie
And if you should die
I may feel slightly sad
(But I won't cry)
Of course it helps that's we both have a twisted sense of humor and the song always brings a smile to the recipient. Of course I've thought for years there should be a Holiday 6 months from Thanksgiving. Misgivings Day where you get drunk and curse everyone who, and everything that, makes your life miserable.
and
No Sympathy Cards for people who make boneheaded decisions... Something like "You have my most sincere and heartfelt apathy." on the front of the card. then "I always knew you were going to do something stupid... I just didn't know what." or "This is just a quick note to offer you no sympathy." on the inside. (I thought of this in '93) when a ditsy female friend (of a friend) who had been hanging around a lot... decided she was going to have intercourse with this guy she'd just met on the second level of four level covered scaffolding where restoration work was being done... on a local church. She rolled over and fell off... breaking her wrist. My very first thought on hearing the story was "I always knew she was going to do something stupid... I just didn't know what."
