I can't stand it
Baron Grim Posted Nov 25, 2009
It may or may not be a "carol" but I was just trying to explain to Christiane what I meant by "crimbo music".
I can't stand it

AACH!... I had to chase that out of my head with Santana, "Oye Como Va"... (similar rhythm)
All better now.

Smarty. That is the perfect antidote. *off to find the Santana CDs*
I can't stand it
There is only one thing worse than being Gosho, and that is not being Gosho Posted Nov 25, 2009
I won't potentially give anyone an earworm by naming the Christmas songs I really can't abide **COUGH** Little Donkey, Mary's Boy Child, Little Drummer Boy **COUGH**, but as much as I can do without all the hoopla and noise of Christmas, I like to watch the Festival of Nine Carols and Lessons from King's College Cambridge every year. It's got dignity, it's got gravitas and, so far, it hasn't succumbed to popular appeal the way that the annual British Legion Festival of Remembrance has.
Curiously, I have a soft spot for this

The Festival of Carols? It's shown on the BBC and also broadcast on BBC radio. I think it goes out Christmas Eve afternoon an either Radio 3 or Radio 4 which you can listen to online very easily, and then you can hear it for a week afterwards with Listen Again. This is how it always starts off http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RC34N1TfCQ

I have one ritual, of watching the Bloom County xmas special (I have it on video).
Did you know that Michael McDonald (of Doobie Brothers fame) put out a Xmas album last year? So sad.

Baron Grim Posted Nov 25, 2009
I never knew there was a Bloom County special. 
Just watched a poor quality bootleg on the sub-etha. It was a joy to see Bill in motion.
ACK!
