I think I have a cat version of Carol of the Bells, which, to be honest, I find hysterical.
Husband has a phone interview right now for a job he doesn't think he wants, but I have my fingers crossed anyway.
Hey! What a surprise! Hostile 17! Can I get you a drink, Hostile 17?

I kind of like Wonderful Christmas Time. And the dogs barking Jingle Bells.
I can't even imagine the cat version of Carol of the Bells, but I am fascinated.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I've never been asked when I was going to have kids.
Which is a shame, because you have a good story to tell, if you want.
True. It's rare in civilized conversation that you get to say, "I masturbated into a cup."

Our wings are not tired.
The dogs barking Jingle Bells are better than "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer."
This. I have no issue with LDB. Love Carol of the Bells in a bunch of varieties. It could be a holdover from my Catholic roots, but my heart soars when I hear the classic religious fare. Hark, the Herald Angels Sing, Joy to the World, Oh Holy Night. Love it all.
In adulting news, I have trimmed my Inbox from 12,075 to 10,947. My plan is to get rid of all but stuff I actually need to act on by end of year.

At least being LDB'd means I'm now free to scan the 24/7 Christmas song channels in the hope of running across Elton John's "Step Into Christmas."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh jeez, flea! Good luck with that.
I don't know what that Christmas Shoes is, I suppose I am grateful.
Same.
I don't hate Wonderful Christmastime per se, but now it's in my head, so check back in a few hours and I'll let you know how I feel then.

Dear people at work: Yes, sometimes the only reason I am asking you to do something is because the Dean asked. It doesn't pay to argue that it makes no sense; he wants it, he gets it and it is an hour or less out of your life. I'd do it if I could, but I have the plague. Get the plague, and you, too, can have a "get out of doing the Dean's request for free" card. Pinky swear.

I don't think I'm going to dig up headphones so I can listen to Carol of the Meows right now, but marked for later!
Also have Wonderful Christmastime stuck in my head now (I feel about it like Moe talking about Homer - I don't currently wish it any specific ill)
ETA Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer I find bizarre and troubling, more so since it's apparently been made into an animated special. I just don't understand. But I also don't really hear it out in the wild so I can pretend it doesn't exist.

Yikes, flea, what a mess. Hope the laptops work out!
Though I suppose I'm a little sorry I'll never get to respond with "I keep trying, but none of the guys I've had sex with have gotten pregnant. Maybe it's me, do you think I should see a fertility specialist?"
Oh, I do so hope the universe gives you a chance to use this response at least once!
