Heart of the City by Steenz for December 10, 2008

Yeah, that’s like my Christmas, I do all the work while everybody else DOES SQUAT!! And then the day is over in the blink of an eye!

OK, then. How about “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer”?

This song appeared so many times on “least favorite” lists, I had to look it up. If you are interested, check: http://peachpatch.com/shoes.html

The Christmas Shoes - Oh, manipulate me a little more, I don’t mind. It’s so realistic, too. Somehow, a boy who’s mother is very ill, dying, decides it’s crucial that he run out to the store and buy her shoes that he has no money for.

Of course, Dad or whatever relatives don’t stop him, or give him money, or tell him just to spend the last time he can with his mother. Of course, a little boy wanting to buy something pretty for his mother thinks of shoes rather than a necklace or dress or something.

And of course the child is saintly, wanting mom to look beautiful and get a smile from a gift, rather than angry, or terrified, or any of the other emotions you might expect from a real child.

Find and listen to- Bob Rivers, “The Twelve Pains of Christmas” Hilarious and it should be a standard!!

shippingtroll, Just heard the 12 pains of Christmas on my way to work this morning! They don’t play that enough! I expecially love the verses about hanging the lights! Who hasn’t been there at least once?

Here’s a link to 12 Pains of Christmas. I love this song. My holiday is not complete until I hear it.

I loathe, loathe, LOATHE that song. The rule in our car is, if it comes on, the radio goes off for five minutes.

You got her where you want her, Heart! Now’s your chance to get something good for yourself like the Jonas Brother tickets or something.

I’d never heard of the song but I went to the link from Chromosome and read the lyrics.

BARF!! To steal from Oscar Wilde, one would have to have a heart of stone not to laugh at this song. Even worse than “The Poor Little Match Girl”, and I never thought that was possible.

”! I expecially love the verses about hanging the lights! Who hasn’t been there at least once?”

Me. I’m Jewish.

mprongs, Well then, Happy Hanukkah! We all have our holidays to celebrate, and you are lucky you don’t have to deal with the Christmas lights! Best wishes!
