    Late Night Christmas

    With things being as hectic as can be in my household, it’s the little things that bring home the holiday spirit. Last night, after spending some time shopping with my wife, we collapsed into the couch and flipped on Letterman…

    Video: Bob Dylan’s “Must Be Santa”

    Okay, I acknowledge that this video has been out for about a month now, and I didn’t get around to watching it until tonight (along with the Muppets take on “Bohemian Rhapsody”). I can now attest that after one viewing,…

    Christmas in New Orleans with Kermit Ruffins

    So it turns out December 12th is the date of my first foray into Christmas music this year. It also happens to be the day I put my Christmas lights up – as well as that lit up metallic deer…

    The Temps’ Silent Night – Merry Christmas

    I was searching around for some info about when the Temptations version of “Silent Night” was recorded, and stumbled across a very heartfelt 2004 piece from the Washington Post. Writer Neely Tucker describes his relationship with the song – one…

    Alan Parsons in a Winter Wonderland

    Christmas at the Gap

    Yes it’s crass commercialism at best but I’ll be damned if this years Gap holiday campaign isn’t brilliant. It’s funny, catchy and doesn’t necesarily beat you over the head with the merchandise.  Rainn Wilson and Selma Blair turn in a…

    Christmas with Bruce Cockburn (or in my case, a remedy for the Holiday Blues)

    How in the holy frijoles is it December already? And why do I get the same stressed, panicked feeling every year? And why do I harbor such resentment against those who get their Christmas shopping done early (or prance gaily…

    Santa Smokes Mistletoe! Christmas with Rotary Connection

    A guest post coming to you from reader & fellow funk brother # 1, Jshua….. Happy Holidays Brothers and Sisters (or as I like to say–Happy Holy Daze….) But I digress…. Today’s topic of discussion comes from the legendary Rotary…
