Jethro T. Wilsoncracker - “I got Drunk”

This song makes me laugh…a lot. Please listen and let me know if I am justified in my laughter.

The first time I listened to this, my professor was doing a drawing demonstration, during which we were expected to be silent. And, you know, not listen to podcasts so I had stuck my ipod in my shirt pocket under a hoodie to conceal it.

I managed to keep it together for the most part until I heard AND I LOVE JESUS, CAUSE HE’S FUCKIN AWESOME, and I slapped my hand over my mouth to keep from laughing but I was still doing that awkward breathing that comes with laughing but you never hear it because the laughing covers it up, and I was trying to get my ipod out so i could pause it or something until after class, and that was even awkwarder, and I started laughing at the absurdity of the situation too. My classmates were nice enough to cover for me and shuffle around a lot of paper and let me hide behind them for the rest of the song. GOOD TIMES.

Jazz? Check.

Charlie Brown? Check.

Christmas music? Check.

Christmas is, by far, my favorite holiday. I’m already in the Christmas mood. : )

A Charlie Brown Christmas

ARB for both Mike being the man and for this music which is the BEST.

I have to get in on this too. It’s officially Christmas now. I don’t care what anyone says, I can’t un-hear this music.

listened to this while sipping pumpkin spiced soy latte from the red cup [:

it’s the holidays!

I’m so happy someone put this up. I have the whole album and its wonderful. I love this relaxing jazz music.

… I … You’re messing with my head. I LOVE Christmas. This tune almost made me check for snow outside. I don’t think you understand how important this warm fuzzy time of year is to me.

But, Christmas does not start until after thanksgiving. It just doesn’t. And while I appreciate your gung-ho attitude, it’s early starts like these that scare away those on the edge. Those who want to like Christmas but hate how all consuming it can get. I’d celebrate Christmas year round if it wouldn’t ruin the magic, but every week longer we make The Holiday Season is a little magic we steal from it.

Good, warm, fuzzy and lovely things come to those who wait.

Thank you. ._. I love this album and it’s one of the last surviving bits of Christmas I really dearly cherish anymore. Don’t take it from me. I’m trying to like Christmas again, but it’s hard when it reaps my Halloween and gobbles up my Thanksgiving. In my head, Christmas season starts after pumpkin pie dessert on Thanksgiving Day when we all put our names in the hat for our family Secret Santa.

While I’m at it I guess I should make my yearly disclaimer: my family stopped celebrating Christmas many years ago, after I knew there was no Santa and after I had decided I wasn’t much for Baby Jesus, either. We figured, if we’re not taking part in the Christ part, it seems kind of silly to go broke and crazy every year to force the idea of being happy and merry and together, when we can do that without all that hassle. So, one gift per person, opened on Christmas Eve because we are an impatient bunch.

That said, I will occasionally make something for friends, but not very often. So don’t be offended, it’s just not how I roll. But to be fair, I’m pretty good about doing something special for birthdays. I mean, I’d like to celebrate the fact that your parents had sex much more than the fact that baby Jesus’ parents didn’t.
