Dennis - Unfortunately, the article was no longer available by the time I tried to open it. Please tell me that "Exile on Main Street" wasn't one of the top 10.

I hope everyone had a great holiday - always a bit sad to have to take down the tree, clean out the refrigerator, and put away the Christmas CD's for another year. My favorite new song (from the late Nancy LaMott, a fantastic singer who was pretty new to me):

I've spent Christmas in Peoria,
Christmas in Schenectady,
Christmas in Las Vegas and LA
And I always thought it couldn't matter less
But lately come December I confess

I want the tree full of toys and tinsel
I want the wreath on the red front door
I want the elves in the yard
and each sentimental card
dripping glitter on the floor
I want a roof full of plywood reindeer
I want a road full of horse drawn sleighs
All those Christmas Cliches

I want the turkey with all the trimmings
The turkey mom hardly ever made
I want the gulp and the tear
At the moment that I hear
Johnny Mathis being played
I want a lake full of perfect skaters
I want that fruitcake with sugar glaze
All those Christmas Cliches

Not to mention the snow
Not to mention the choirs
Not to mention the candles in the window
And chestnuts roasting on the fire
Inside a house filled with noise and laughter
Along a street paved in twinkling light
I want the bells and the drums
mistletoe and sugar plums
And kids to tuck in tight
And as for the guy with in the bright red outfit
Instead of flying off he stays
All those Christmas Cliches

I want those overblown, corny, heartwarming Hallmark
Christmas Cliches
