“A Real Old-Fashioned Christmas”
A mother is planning a Real, Old-Fashioned Christmas. The radio is playing Christmas music. Then (BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!) a news bulletin says that the bus that Daddy always takes home from work has hit a tree. Then (BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!) another bulletin says that everyone on board was killed. A bus so flimsy that everyone gets killed in a collision with a tree? Then the doorbell rings, and it’s DADDY! He missed his regular bus! To hell with all those dead people, Daddy’s home and we’re going to have a Real, Old-Fashioned Christmas!
hippo drives me nuts. must be the whine.
Oh my yes. I gotcher "parumpapapum" right here!
Other infuriating screechings that belong on the house speakers in Hell:
Santa Claus is Comin' To Town - the Springsteen version. A fat, disgusting diamond-encrusted rock dinosaur still pretending to be a working man and more than happy to give other people's stuff away.
Merry XMas (War is Over) - yeah, right. The War was ignored at that point by the sanctimonious, blood-stained creeps on the Left, not over. After all, the evil U.S. was out of it and there were only good guys left, like the Khmer Rouge and the NVA. I want to scream.
Jingle Bell Rock, any version. It isn't even rock, it's swing.
Do They Know It's Christmas? - Dear God, it's insufferable. A motley collection of some of the richest people on the planet chastising the rest of us for daring to be happy.
Gotta go blow this stuff out of my ears with a cranked-up rendition of Alleluia, Amen. Most of these turkeys above wouldn't like it, it's about Christ.
Shoot Kenny G. twice.
No “Feliz Navidad”? I call shenanigans.
As an aside, I read your tagline quickly and thought it said "I don't have hobbits."
That is really nice! Thanks for posting it.

There's no accounting for taste.
ALL Christmas music is annoying.
Almost brings tears to your eyes.
I used to love sleigh ride when we played it in high school band. . . And then I learned that there were lyrics and have hated it ever since.
Last Christmas, Santa Baby and I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus are the absolute worst of the worst, of course there are quite a few that are nearly as bad.
Sounds like the perfect setting for that song! Thanks for sharing.
Christmas blessings, to you and yours :)
Not me! However, I like Michael Buble and I know he sets some peoples teeth on edge. :)

I think that is an excellent measurement to use!
did you happen to catch her ‘earpiece malfunction’ when they lit the tree at Rockerfeller Center?
THAT was painful to watch!
Oh, I think Johnny Mathis’ rendition of ‘Winter Wonderland’ is so pretty! (I agree with you on the other songs...)

LOL! My sister has been singing that version for years! :)
So is Bruce Srpingsteen, so it's really no wonder.
