Well, I suppose it's that time of year again.
We all go nuts finding our friends gifts, trying to get that dame with the beautiful golden locks under the misletoe with us and yet we go and forget the true purpose of Christmas.
In this day and age we've gone and replaced Jesus with Santa Claus, the Apostles with Elves, Heaven with the North Pole, with this, the greatest of Holidays loosing it's soul.
Sure, we celebrate it because of the birth of Jesus but hell, Christmas is more than just commerciallity and religious tradition. It's an opporitunity to embrace family, friends and to bring in light to our hearts.
Call it a rant if you like but I had to share my thoughts with you all.
So I close this post with Good Night, Good Luck & Merry Christmas.
ON that note, favorite Christmas songs:
1. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas (1944/Judy Garland/Hugh Martin & Ralph Blaine)
2. Silent Night (1991/Frank Sinatra/Joseph Mohr & Franz Gruber)
3. The Christmas Song (1961/Nat King Cole/Mel Torme & Robert Welles)
4. White Christmas (1942/Bing Crosby/Irving Berlin)
5. An Old Fashioned Christmas (1964/Frank Sinatra/Sammy Cahn/James Van Heusen)

TIS, I wish I could stay up for the West Coast Santa visit!!   This is perhaps the most exhausting time of year!! As of right now, last I heard, Santa has been spotted in the North East, but more in New England, and I'm sure NY/NJ will be next!

That's still good... I woke up this Chritmas morning and there was nothing in my socks. May be I let too many to dry over the fire place? You know, I hadn't wash all of my socks and there were like ten pairs... That's how it is done, right? Well, I think I finally ended up being a bad girl after all. :p

It's been Christmas in Texas, officially, for a while now, but I'd like to wish all of my BB "family" a very merry Christmas! I celebrated with my close family on Christmas Eve (instead of Day...we're going to my grandparents' instead of staying home tomorrow) for the very first time, and it was very nice. Besides one big gift for my dad, we kept it quite simple in our gift exchange. I did receive a wonderful Dizzy Gillespie CD from my parents - now they'll get to hear me rotate that with my Maynard and Brian Setzer CDs constantly. My brother gave me a new camera - my current one literally broke down...the viewfinder just stopped working - so that was a nice and much appreciated gift. Sully, thanks for helping us keep in mind what Christmas is really about. I get caught up in gifts, giving just as much as receiving, and the whole commercialism, but I always try to remind myself what the real "reason for the season" is. Of course, it's to celebrate the birth of Jesus, but also, as you mentioned, to enjoy time spent with our loved ones. As this evening unraveled, I thought about that a lot. I gave thanks that I was able to see relatives at church and spend this time with my parents and brother. We watched A Christmas Story on TV, we all sat together and talked, and my brother and I watched Office Space together (very funny!) - it's those kind of things that make the holiday so special for me. Though it's always fun to think about presents, lights, trees, etc. (which I do), those things won't make lasting memories as well as time spent with family and friends will.

...in my best George Bailey voice...
"Merry Christmas, you old Building & Loan!"
Happy Holidays to everyone on the BB! May your Polk Bros. Santa Claus provide eternal light each and every holiday and all year long!
Also, I heard Christmas was fixed this year...Rudolph never even finished the race. It was Dasher and Dancer in a photo finish for first with Prancer and Vixen in a photo finish for third. Stewards are telling everybody to hold their tickets until they can determine the parimutuel pool for all of the gimmick bets.
If they find a reindeer head in the bed of a movie producer, and Will Ferrell appears in another Christmas movie, I would suspect foul play.
And if I had a favorite Christmas song, it would be from The Tom Waits Christmas Album -- A December 25th of Bourbon in my Stocking. And the song would be titled Gingerbread Soused. Or maybe Christmas Eve With A Waitress...I'm not sure.
