Merry Christmas! It is 48, mostly cloudy and breezy here-went hiking like every weekend-there were fresh mountain lion and hog tracks on the riverbank at the edge of the woods-so it seemed prudent not to take the trail further into the woods...

Hillary just will not keep quiet
And despite her execrable ways
She’s a Clinton and has money-
So as the party leader she stays

She makes statements on camera
Reminding everyone of her fame
Saying that she should have won
And everyone else is to blame-

It was Russia, Trump, the VRWC
That list of hers goes on and on-
Most don’t care “What Happened”
They want her shut up and gone...

The most execrable Christmas song(s)-those Chipmunk atrocities-they make me want to run out into the road screaming...

Merry Christmas! Any songs by groups of children are execrable to my ears. It is my opinion, take it for what it’s worth, the only children’s voices that people enjoy are the sounds of their own.
During our timeouts in the OR, I made everyone list their favorite reindeer. Then I asked them to tell their least favorite Christmas song(Santa Baby for me, totally cringeworthy). And yesterday, I asked them to name their favorite childhood Christmas gift. I try and keep things light in there.

It can’t be that execrable. Simply, there is one piece in the world and it’s passed around every year.

The Chipmunks. That was going to be my contribution!

I can counter your comment by mentioning the Girl Scouts of Nassau County, NY who performed yesterday on Fox & Friends (absolutely outstanding) and anything by Minnesota's Land of Lakes Boys Choir (bone chillingly superb). I would put either of these groups up against any adult professional musicians.

I have to say you are right-once my own cub out grew that lelementary school stage, I no longer found those lisping little voices appealing at all...
