It's Beginning To Look Way Too Much Like Christmas
So I went Christmas shopping today, which was just perfect because everybody of course wants to drive around in the rain and stand in line for hours and hours and hours. On the other hand, at least I took care of dethorats' Christmas presents (heh heh heh, I done took care of Price real good) and X-chan. That's the plus side of giving yourself permission to

Joy to the world, the teacher's dead.
We bar-be-cued her head.
What happened to her body?
We flushed it down the potty.
And round and round it goes.
And round and round it goe.

Silver Bells, while maudlin, is also somewhat haunting. Plus it's damn fun to play on the piano. As I've gotten older, and more metal, Trans-Siberian Orchestra holds an ever-greater appeal for me - at least in terms of metal-tinged instrumentals. Wizard in Winter just...rocks.
O Come All Ye Faithful, especially in Latin, also holds a weird place in my heart even though I am about as far from ye faithful as one can get.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra is awesome. :D
O Come All Ye Faithful doesn't do much for me as an adult, but I was made to endure it shouted sung by a church packed to the brims with Catholics (and we aren't known for our beautiful singing voices XD) in English and mangled Latin, so that's probably my bias.

Deck The Halls
Deck the halls with gasoline
Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la
Strike a match and watch it gleam
Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la
Watch your school go down in ashes
Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la
Ain't you glad you play with matches
Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la
Randoloh the Shot-gun Cowboy
Randolph the shot-gun cowboy
Had a Very shiny gun
And if you every saw it
You would drop your pants and run
All of the other cowboys
used to laugh and call him names
The never let poor Randolph
Join in any poker games
Then on foggy Saturday night
The Sheriff came to say,
"Randolph with your gun so bright
Won't you shoot my wife tonight."
Then how the cowboys loved him
As they shouted out with glee,
"Randoloh the shot-gun cowboy,
You'll go down in history."
Those are all I can come up with for now. If I think of anything else, I will let you know. *^___^*

Of course, who could forget that timeless classic
Jingle Bells, Batman Smells?

I loathe Christmas songs by now; I think only the religious ones can appeal to me anymore, thanks to way too much time at work, hearing the more publicly acceptable ones blaring at us on the Muzak. If I hear Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman, or Here Comes Santa Claus one more time, I'm gonna cleave some heads from shoulders.
I really hate Silver Bells, too. Sorry. I just like Carol of the Bells better, provided it's done right and there isn't annoying, tinny singing accompanying the actual bells.
The closest I get to a favorite one right now is your number one choice, 'cause I'm as charming as an eel when it comes to this horrid, nasty season of commercialism.

I can understand why anyone might dislike "Silver Bells", so it doesn't offend me that you do. Though "Carol of the Bells" is pretty good, if it's instrumental and we're not subjected to tinny singing.
"Have a Holly Jolly Christmas" grates on my nerves (X-chan likes it, but I'm not sure if this is because she likes it for its own sake or because she knows it annoys me). I really hate that song about the kid who wants to buy his mommy a pair of shoes so she'll look pretty when she dances with Jesus (I am not making this song up, though I couldn't tell you the title or artist; I swear it is a real song), though. Talk about EXTREME GLURGE ( ... )
