Hey Dysto
thanks for the quirky christmas melodies
was going to share The Atheist Christmas Carol by Vienna Teng
but this is sweeter
Cheers!
question everything
thanks for music
One of my minor pet peeves is that after Thanksgiving a number of major radio stations in the area switch to nothing but Christmas music. They play the same songs over and over. All are might call them secular or pagan. Like who knew a reindeer and a snow man were a major figures in the Christian pantheon.
Yeah, the cringe starts around Halloween here
get jingle belled off my rocker by T-day
try to avoid retail outlets during the season
question everything
Thanks Q
That was a beautiful and stirring piece.

Claymation stuff are great animations, and this one is also quite quirky.

Hi d!
I hope your Christmas is quirky and fun.
Another quirky one
As a follow up
A bit more traditional
but the chorus is melodious
in the church acoustics
and the candles are magical
question everything
In a similar mood
Hi Janis
Hey J!
Thank you for all the vids! All very good. This last one is particularly spectacular. I can't believe her voice and his bass playing. Pure awesomeness.
Thanks!
Hope you had a good one!

The quirkiest,
and yet both the most truthful, and the most accessible (to any east coaster/rocker/superannuated punk, anyway), might be this immortal ditty:
Twice bitten, permanently shy.
The season is upon us...
Hi UFS!
Yeah that is a great amongst greats... The video for it is hilarious too (see third vid down above).
Great minds think in parallel... or get stuck in the same rut
happy holidays!

I totally missed
that you'd already posted it. But it really is one of my favorite seasonal songs...
I always breathe a huge sigh of relief once all the packages are opened and the whole Christmas thing is done. Christmas got utterly destroyed for me in my college and immediate post-college years: having to buy very expensive plane tickets to get home for the duty dance, when I barely had money to keep a roof over my head and food in my belly, really made me resent the whole thing. I've never gotten over that. My parents have been gone for many years, so my wife and I have very low key Christmases- but I still approach the whole season with a sense of dread. Now that it is done, I can relax and enjoy New Years.
Happy New Year, everybody...
Twice bitten, permanently shy.
Yeah buddy, with you there
.

the required yearly cards and calls are done
that's good - no more hype
- dark Russian rye loaf
- coddled eggs
- sausage gravy
- salmon / cream cheese roll-ups
- miso soup
- sparkling cider with cranberry
- big platter of sweets
still negotiating with the sous chef re:
- fruits, greens, veggies
question everything
hear hear
Howdy UFS
You sound a lot like us...
Yeah man that song is a classic, and a great one. Their vid is hilarious too...
My wife and I are somewhat to fairly anti-social about the holidays as well. I've been telling her all day her favorite day of the year is boxing day, because she keeps saying "It's over', over and over. LOL
It certainly is not by accident we live in a place that is just too damn inconvenient to get to. ROFL MIL.
I would dread going to an airport at this season though. Those parents should be picking up the tab...
Growing up my family often went on a camping trip since a few days off. The last few years I was at home when they were teachers, we went on two-week trips, birding. Mysdys and I often would go birding when I was not doing a Christmas Bird Count. Wake us when its over. Now we live in what most would consider a camping situation so do not have to go anywhere to be away from it and out of the fray. Maybe one or two cars down the dirt road each of last couple days. Quiet is good.
Have a great one!
