Drabble by Kevin Fagan for December 01, 2022

What happened to the Christmas Necklace Honeybunch. Did the batteries die ?

Which means you’ll probably be back by the time they get to the twelve drummers drumming…

I just love Straight No Chaser’s version, with John Denver and the Muppets in second place.

Well, at least it’s not The Little Drummer Boy.

A 26-day walk would suit me fine

5 Golden rings, …

You could be listening to: “Wonderful Christmastime” – proof that Paul McCartney can lay an egg musically… ;-)

I worked in a restaurant and was trapped when the Muzak would play songs I hated.

Heard a nice bluegrass inspired cover of “Jingle Bells” yesterday.

“A nine-mile walk is no joke, especially in the rain.”

I think the Christmas song length of 12 days of Christmas might have been challenged by Harry Connick Jr

My wife and I watch the a cappella group Straight No Chaser Christmas Special. They have a funny take on the Christmas songs. For your enjoyment and hopefully amusement.

12 verses, 364 gifts. Take Wally with you. Could Blue Christmas, or All I Want For Christmas Is You be far behind?

Christmas to me is a big HUMBUG!

I used to praise XM radio channel 25 (classic rock) because it was a refuge from xmas noise. Now DJ Hunter is playing xmas music during his radio time. Boo!

Country Christmas SiriusXM 55

The only good version of that song was by John Denver and the Muppets. Even with Miss Piggy vamping it up.

The only version I willingly sit through is the one by John Denver & the Muppets.

And hope it isn’t on shuffle play or repeat at the station.

Be sure to take you earbuds with you so you miss any of the music.

Alvin: Can we stop now, Dave?

Feliz Navidad. Hate that song!

I prefer the “12 Days After Christmas”.

“The second day after ChristmasI pulled on the old rubber glovesAnd very gently wrung the necksOf both the turtle doves.”

Geesh, I HATE that song!!!!!

While I can tolerate that song, I prefer the Allan Sherman version, The Twelve Gifts of Christmas:

“On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me”

“A Japanese transistor radio.”

Google it for the full experience.

Wait for me Ralph!

I like that song. I don’t like Santa Baby or Last Christmas. One is about greed. One is about a pathetic co dependent.

This is my favorite version… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDBMzGq1vhs

Don’t go outside Ralph, the weather outside is frightful…
