It had to be asked, so here it is. I just drove home from Bullville NY, listening to 3 hours of "Christmas Cheer", so which ones are your favorites?

I don't have a favorite, but it have one I can't stand! As a young SrA I picked up a second job to help offset Christmas that year. So for 8 hours a night, 6 nights a week, I stocked shelves at the commissary. For $15 a hour, I figured, it would be worth it. Well starting the day after halloween, the Christmas music started. Every 30 mins on the dot, "Santa Baby" played. By New Years, it was slowly driving me insane. I still cringe when I hear it and it has been more then a decade!

But in all seriousness, it's not Christmas without White Christmas by Bing Crosby and The Christmas Song by Nat King Cole. I'm kind of old school about that.

"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" for a ballad and "Sleigh Ride" for something more upbeat. And although not necessarily a Christmas song, "Ave Maria" is often peformed during the holidays and can be hauntingly beautiful.

Silver Bells and White Christmas. I grew up watching the old re-run black and white Christmas movies with Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, etc.

I also like Jingle Bell Rock but every time I hear it I only think of the opening scenes from Lethal Weapon. This is what happens when you are raised by television! :)

E-Mail Wonderland
(to the tune of Winter Wonderland)

Another "ping",
Are you listenin'?
The puter screen,
Is a glistenin'.
With icons so bright,
They light up the night,
Welcome to the e-mail wonderland!

Gone away,
Are the hall talks.
Here to stay,
Is the IN-BOX.
Flagged "urgent, please read!",
And "answer with speed!".
Welcome to the e-mail wonderland!

In the morning e-mails start to add up.
No lunch today cause messages abound.
Just click away and hope the server stays up.
You can't do your job if it goes down.

10 P.M.,
You're not tired.
The caffeine,
Has got you wired.
The day's not complete,
Till the last delete,
Welcome to the e-mail wonderland!

In the morning e-mails start to add up,
No lunch today cause messages abound.
Just click away and hope the server stays up.
You can't do your job if it goes down.

Until you,
Are retired,
The same old grind,
It is required.
You'll face unafraid,
That message parade.
Welcome to the e-mail wonderland.

First off, I love my wife. Her driving skills, eh, not so much. So I came up my own version of "Jingle Bells" for her. My kids love it!

Dashing through the snow
In a 4-wheeled auto sled
Fast as we can go
Hey Mom, that light was red!

Kids all love to Sing
which makes our spirits bright
Oh what fun it is to ride
in Mom's mini-van tonight

(chorus)
jingle bells, jingle bells
jingle all you can
Oh what fun it is to ride
in mommy's mini-van

jingle bells, jingle bells
jingle all you can
Oh what fun it is to ride
in mommy's mini-van

Through the slush we swerve
as home we try to go
taking hard each curve
just missed that bank of snow

We pull into our drive
gas pedal to the floor
Mom you better slow down or
we'll hit the garage door

(chorus)

So if you like to cruise
out through the slush and snow
better buckle up
'cause mom does not drive slow

Turn on the funky music
so in the back we'll rap
Hey quick, look out the window
Mom, we lost one more hub cap

(chorus)

Most Christmas music is too saccharine for my taste. Listening to them played and replayed for weeks on end is like nails dragging across a chalkboard. That is until TSO began performing hard rock versions. Even then, I don't want to listen more than a week or two
