Now that the holiday season is over...

Well, I started a new job, so that's mainly why my blog has been lagging...but I guess, it was also a particularly stressful holiday season...And I've never really been one for Christmas; however, I was particularly burned out this January.

Something I briefly wanted to discuss was Christmas Carols. Have you ever noticed that, probably, since elementary school you can't sing any Christmas Carol by heart??

It's not a bad thing, because I think Christmas means different things to us when we grow up; and probably the only reason we knew the lyrics in the first place were because of an overzealous music teacher and her overhead projector.

But three of my favourites this year came from Chris:

3)Are you familiar with Michigan J. Frog? He was the singing frog from a Bugs Bunny Cartoon, and he was later the mascot for the briefly lived WB Network. Anyways Chris was playing around with Tyra one night before Christmas and he was pretending she was Michigan J., and he proceeded to sing "Hello my baby, hello my honey, hello my yuletide girl"

The word he was looking for was "ragtime", not "yuletide", but it was nice to see he was in the Christmas spirit

Then I thought I'd quiz Chris on Christmas Carols, and that's where we get 2) and 1)


2) "Rockin' around the Christmas tree have a splish splash holiday"

1) "Come they told me pa rum pa pum pum, a new born king to see pa rum pa pum pum...the son of Phil he is pa rum pa pum pum, rum pa pum pum..."


So irreverent yes, blasphemes sure...but we all celebrate the holidays in different ways...so, in summation, I wish all of you and your loved ones a splish splash 2009!!
