    Oh Holy Night is my fave, and this is the best version. John Berry's got the Spirit!

    Based on the idea of natural rights, government secures those rights to the individual by strictly negative intervention, making justice costless and easy of access; and beyond that it does not go. The State, on the other hand, both in its genesis and by its primary intention, is purely anti-social. It is not based on the idea of natural rights, but on the idea that the individual has no rights except those that the State may provisionally grant him. It has always made justice costly and difficult of access, and has invariably held itself above justice and common morality whenever it could advantage itself by so doing.

    I like Taylor Swift's version of Santa Baby.

    ...

    On December 25th I knew I wasn't getting jack
    when I saw Santa Claus on the corner buying crack
    I ran up on him with the (blur) and asked him "yo whats up with that?"
    He said "there aint no christmas kid" and I can't get him back
    Back in the days, Christmas was deep
    My moms put presents under the tree while I played sleep
    And peeped ha! Santa Claus never gave me nuthin
    Seen them mad faces, lying and frontin
    So do some good to the ghetto, Mr. Chris Kringle
    Come and stay awhile, kick it with God's Angel
    Take and acknowledge my wisdom and understand
    That Santa Claus is a black man
    word up

    [chorus 2 times]
    Santa Baby
    Just slip a Benzo under the tree for me
    A '98 convertible, light blue
    I'm looking for a fly guy, like you
    So hurry down the chimney tonight

    Nah...jus'singin'

    I used to NOT like this one . . . turned it off every time on the radio every year . . .
    now a fave as it is based on the truce called by soldiers in WWI on a Christmas eve -
    they smoked cigarettes together to the dismay of generals who couldn't believe it.

    No $#@!...there are three songs in heavy rotation on pop music radio and XM during Christmas, that make me want to blow my brains out.

    That is one of them.

    "It's A Marshmallow World" is another.

    "Last Christmas" is the other.

    John Lennon's "So This Is Christmas" and Band - Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas" both get honorable mentions for over-the-top, smarmy self-righteousness.

    In three weeks there will be plenty that will want you to put your finger down your throat . . . Santa Baby is not one of them for me.

    Beach Boys get alot of play rotation imho but still like it with 3 weeks to go I guess.



    and ya' might jus' get sick of this one from the Carpenters with plenty of upcoming air time (and royalties)

    I always loved that lyric...

    Later on, we'll conspire,
    As we dream by the fire
    To face unafraid,
    The plans that we've made,

    Mr Animal bought me a Jingle buns thong one year. I tried wearing it a few times but those bells were uncomfortable so we just hung them on the tree. We didn't have many Christmas ornaments back then and I thought they looked festive. They were also an ice breaker when people came over.

    I've got a few, but mostly totally inappropriate to be uttered in public...

    1776 > 1984

    The FAILURE of the United States Government to operate and maintain an
    Honest Money System , which frees the ordinary man from the clutches of the money manipulators, is the single largest contributing factor to the World's current Economic Crisis.

    The Elimination of Privacy is the Architecture of Genocide

    Belief, Money, and Violence are the three ways all people are controlled

    Two of my favorite Cthristmas songs ...

    I Saw Mommy Kissing Yog-Sothoth
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSvsy11PHxM


    Carol of the Old Ones | Dagon Tabernacle Choir
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ftld7Ohojg


    Look to the sky, way up on high
    There in the night, stars are now right
    Eons have passed, now then at last
    Prison walls break, Old Ones awake!

    They will return, mankind will learn
    New kinds of fear when they are here
    They will reclaim all in their name
    Hopes turn to black when they come back

    Ignorant fools, mankind now rules
    Where they ruled then, it's theirs again

    Stars brightly burning, boiling and churning
    Bode a returning season of doom
    Scary scary scary scary solstice
    Very very very scary solstice

    Up from the sea, from underground
    Down from the sky, they're all around
    They will return, mankind will learn
    New kinds of fear when they are here

    Look to the sky, way up on high
    There in the night, stars are now right
    Eons have passed, now then at last
    Prison walls break, Old Ones awake!

    Madness will reign, terror and pain
    Woes without end, where they extend

    Ignorant fools, mankind now rules
    Where they ruled then, it's theirs again

    Stars brightly burning, boiling and churning
    Bode a returning season of doom
    Scary scary scary scary solstice
    Very very very scary solstice

    Up from the sea, from underground
    Down from the sky, they're all around

    Fear ...

    Look to the sky, way up on high
    There in the night, stars now are right

    They will return
