Festivus, the holiday for the rest-iv-us!
Basically festivus is in opposition to christmas. Instead of a tree we have a bare aluminum pole, White or unfinished. Second, family members take turns telling eachother how much they tick them off and why, usually done at festivus dinner. The last ceremony and the one that ends festivus is when the head of the family picks another family member to wrestle them, unless that person remembers they have something better to do. Festivus is not over untill the head of the family is pinned by the person that they picked. WATCH MORE SIENFELD |

My favorite song is O Tannenbaum.
But that is because of the old SNL sketch where the christmas tree would come to life and kill people and leave a branch sticking out of the person. It became a favorite family memory too because one year our dog was dead asleep on his back on the couch and my dad positioned a tree branch so it looked like the christmas tree next to him got him. |

Saddest Christmas song ever....
 Christmas, by Fuzzy Its colder in this house than anywhere in Boston Thats ok christmas means little to me I'm hanging onto you and I don't know why I dont have faith in whats supposed to be Keep telling me over and over The same old things I keep telling myself Keep telling me over and over How will you tell me if I change my mind You made me cry, yeah for the last time Thats ok christmas means little to me Its not the darkest night I have spent alone Youre not the only one I will never see Its a silent night and all the lights are low Thats ok christmas means nothing to me Wont have you over, and you wont call Nothing sure ain't here that you'll ever see _____________________

My favorite Christmas music is any by Trans-Siberian Orchestra. It really makes it feel like Christmas for me.

Fave Christmas Song
) * HUGS Paris*12-22-2004 09:48
kk my favorite Christmas Song is Oh, Come All Ye Faithful... tho it shouldn't be reserved just for Christmas *G* . Almost anyone who sings it is my fave but I love the Celine Dion Duet as well as Pavarotti's version because it includes the latin version. * drool* Anyhow... for Christmas music in general .. Mannheim Steamroller or Transyberian Orchestra.... ROX

David Bowie and Bing Crosby doing a lovely duet of "Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy".
I have the .MP3, which was recorded on a TV Christmas special many years ago, if anyone wants it. - Ace _____________________

A Midnight Clear
12-22-2004 14:28
Especially the haunting version sung by Sam Phillips at the end of the movie of the same name. I can't even read these lyrics without crying:
It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old From angels bending near the earth to touch their harps of gold Peace on the earth, goodwill to men, from heav'n's all gracious king The world in solemn stillness lay to hear the angels sing. Still through the cloven skies they come with peaceful wings unfurl And still their heavenly music floats, O'er all the weary world. Above its sad and lowly plains they bend on hovering wing And ever o'er its Babel sounds the blessed angels sing. O ye, beneath life's crushing load, whose forms are bending low Who toil along the climbing way with painful steps and slow Look now for glad and golden hours come swiftly on the wing O rest beside the weary road and hear the angels sing. For lo the days are hastening on, by prophets seen of old When with the ever circling years shall come the time foretold When the new heaven and earth shall own the prince of peace their King And the whole world send back the song which now the angels sing. |

Kling, Glöckchen, klingelingeling,
Kling, Glöckchen kling! Lasst mich ein ihr Kinder, ist so kalt der Winter, Öffnet mir die Türen, Lasst mich nicht erfrieren Kling, Glöckchen, klingelingeling, Kling, Glöckchen kling! Kling, Glöckchen, klingelingeling, Kling, Glöckchen kling! Mädchen hört und Bübchen, Macht mir auf das Stübchen, Bring euch viele Gaben, Sollt euch dran erlaben! Kling, Glöckchen, klingelingeling, Kling, Glöckchen, klingelingeling and this:Schneeflöckchen, Weißröckchen Schneeflöckchen, Weißröckchen, wann kommst du geschneit, du kommst aus den Wolken, dein Weg ist so weit. Komm setz dich ans Fenster, du lieblicher Stern: malst Blumen und Blätter, wir haben dich gern. Schneeflöckchen, du deckst uns die Blümelein zu, dann schlafen sie sicher in himmlischer Ruh. |

I'm pretty sure that one was a Twisted Tune done by the Bob Rivers Show in Seattle. Their website has a ton more songs: http://www.bobrivers.com/audiovault/tunes/index.asp Thanks, Marcos! _____________________

A lovely duet by Shane MacGowan and Kirsty McCall. Fairytale Of New York Oh yeahhhh, Fairytale of NY is one of the greats. I also like: 2000 Miles - The Pretenders Last Train to Christmas - April March I got an excellent Christmas CD by Leon Redbone, a cool n' smokey blues singer. He and Dr. John make a hoot out of Frosty the Snowman. _____________________
