Naturally, it’s been mostly Christmas music this time of year. Unavoidable. Although I used to try. Now, I’m more of the “can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em” type. All-in. In very much a Griswold kind of way:
“Cousin Eddie” Hats RULE
Told ya.
Take it from someone who set her parents’ house on fire last Christmas…
Postfire Extinguisher Popovers
When it comes to the holidays, we don’t fuck around. And for this level of serious Christmas-ing, you’ve got to have a good soundtrack. So many to mention, here’s just a few I can’t imagine chugging that good ole 2000-calorie nog without:
1. Elf (the soundtrack AND the movie)
2. Ashton Allen, The Christmas Songs (well, sort of)
Some of you will remember me unabashedly touting this record last year. Leave it to Barnes & Noble to strip something amazing of its true brilliance… Jesus, they can be so damned vanilla. However, even after eliminating nine songs from the original (most of the best tracks in my opinion), it’s still definitely worth $7.99 (online, $5.99). Bargain.
3. Jon Graboff, For Christ’s Sake!
Tasteful, incredible musicianship. Not what you expect for Christmas music. “Too Late for Tonight (Bombay Noel)” is my favorite. We had it on replay while trimming the tree last weekend.
The Outlandos Holiday Tree
4. Bob and Doug McKenzie, 12 Days of Christmas
It’s still pretty freakin’ funny.
From my family to yours, Happy Holidays!

Dear Kate, Thanks so much for letting me use your bathroom today. There were so many stops I was able to make after leaving your place that would have just been blurs in my car windows as I sped home to Bearsville hoping not to explode in my car.
I love this site and really appreciate your taste in music. I am, unfortunately, almost computer-illiterate. I want to subscribe to anything you have anything to do with. Please translate what I need to do. Hi to David.
