Lambs are stupid. Try snnnoooowww. There's a cool word for you. And it's waht we've got here. Not much, mind you--not enough to be pretty--just enough to make everything sloppy and cold and wet. And I have to go to a meeting tomorrow morning in Pavia (rising at 7:30 a.m. which ruins my day, if not the entire week); the castle there is frigid even when it's relatively warm out. It'll be unbearable. I hate hate hate everything and everyone. I am imagining all of the other participants dead. Tehn I wouldn't have to go. In Italy we don't have Christmas carols.

Call me a SAP, I love all the Carpenter christmas songs still. I often wonder how much incredible music Karen Carpenter could have made if she would have lived a normal life span. OH! Another Christmas mystery solved...:-) The Little Known Legend About How The Angel Came To Be Atop The Christmas Tree. Santa was very cross.ÿ It was Christmas Eve and NOTHING was going right. Mrs. Claus had burned all the cookies.ÿ The elves were complaining about not getting paid for the overtime they worked while making the toys.ÿ The reindeer had been drinking all afternoon and were dead drunk.ÿ To make matters worse, they had taken the sleigh out for a spin earlier in the day and crashed it into a tree. Santa was furious.ÿ "I can't believe it!ÿ I've got to deliver millions of toys and presents all over the world in just a few hours.ÿ All my reindeer are drunk, the elves are on strike and I don't even have a Christmas tree!!ÿ I sent that stupid little angel out hours ago to find a tree and he isn't even back yet?ÿ What am I going to do??" Just then, the little angel opened the front door and stepped in from the snowny night, dragging a Christmas tree.ÿ He said, "YO, Fat Man, where do you want to stick the tree this year?" And thus the tradition of the angel atop the Christmas tree came to pass......so to speak!! ÿ Michael

Feliz Navidad by jose f. - a bit tacky. maybe it's 'cause it's party song in spanish, which i enjoy. i always like being spoken to in foreign tongues. then one can enjoy the sounds and tones without the expectation of understanding a word that's been said.

Weren't no trick. I'm not trying to trumpet my sensitivity, penni, I promise. But really penni. We Three Kings, while politically incorrect ("monarchs"? "potentates"? not much of a ring you must admit), is only half sung in a minor key. I mean, "Star of Wonder" etc. is as major as you can get, right? And goodness, no minor key carols at all? A blanket ban? Pshaw. And again, Pshaw. Although again politically incorrect, one of my faves is God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen which is much more meticulously minor than Kings. So there.
