Barbaric Christmas
Published December 22, 2003
Ok, I am now set for the holidays. I have all presents but one. I have wrapping paper. I have plans for Christmas Eve, Christmas day and the Saturday following Christmas. I have a cheesy tree in my living room that changes colors. I am cooking something for Christmas eve. I think I have all that covered.
I am mentally prepared to see everyone and I am looking forward to it. Seeing everyone over too much food and some "spiritual" beverages will be fun. We even have unexpected guests this year which should add to the fun factor of the whole thing. Everything looks good.
With all that being said, is it too much to ask to not have to hear the bastardized "Jingle Bells" by Barbra Streisand at any point this year? Knowing my family, it is too much to ask.

It's good to know others will be torutured by bad Christmas songs too. Barbra Streisand might not even be the worst except that version of Jingle Bells is especially obnoxious.

Dude, even worse, I know I will have to endure not only Rod Stewart's butchering of standards, because we had to get my mother-in-law it, but also Kenny G's insipid holiday album - because she got that a couple Christmases back. Give me Vince Guaraldi any day . . . especially Christmas!
