Well I hope everyone had a hearty Thanksgiving. Good food with family and friends. Did you eat too much? I didn't think I did, but I did. And turkey meat is like friggin' tranquilizer, I couldn't stop yawning after dinner. Like a drug. What's in a turkey anyway?!? :-/
So now I'm back at work, it's like a ghost town here today... at the moment I'm making a Christmas CD for Alec and I. heh! Is it too early? I think we're gonna put up the lights and the tree this weekend, too. We have 2 fake trees... one green and one white! I know, so cheesy! I know it's early, but why not, gotta make it last! Oright, and the red bows on my car. heh! The main reason I like Christmas cuz it tends to put people in a festive mood. Not everyone, but enough peeps... least for me anyway. How 'bout you?
But I'm ALWAYS festive... 'cept when I'm sad! :-) :-( Have you made your Christmas list yet? Before I go, I'll leave you with a song by The Three Wise Men... one of my favorite Christmas songs. More next time!! Have a great weekend everyone.

Coincidentally, today's "Rare 4AD Track" on the website is Cocteau Twins' "Frosty the Snowman"... I put up the link on my blog.

It's not too early for holiday music. I finally pulled out my Xmas CDs and listened to Karen Carpenter singing "Merry Christmas Darling" on the drive to work. I love that song!!!

We're in full Christmas excess here in Cincinnati!
Never heard the XTC before, love it. Great list of Xmas songs you have there, Robert.
Enjoy the season :)

I'm in love with the old stuff....such as Bing & Co.
But I'm also a sucker for huge orchestras with a nice string section and lots of brass.

I had a happy Thanksgiving. My apricot/cranberry/almond brie and apple cake with caramel glaze were both a hit.
I'm impressed that you have Captain Sensible. Have you heard Libera's version of "Ave Maria"? It's wonderful.
I bet you're fun to be around this time of year. If only I had visited later, I could have seen the red bows.
