"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Salmon and goat cheese pizza made me queasy, which was a surprise since I'm really fond of all the individual ingredients.

For your consideration, the best Christmas song ever: [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"Once in Royal David's City"

I've spent the last however many years hating that song, since we sing all six verses every Christmas Eve, but somehow last night I didn't hate it so much? Must be some kind of Stockholm syndrome.

But I think my favorite Christmas song is "The Lord of the Dance" from The Christmas Revels, which is quite defiantly un-mournful.

And not at all Christmas! But yes. (I'm going to Revels next week!!)

I'm inordinately fond of Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You," especially the version with Jimmy Fallon and the Roots.

There is no inordinately! That song is the best.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Six verses is Too Much.

The whole Britten Ceremony of Carols is awesome.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Goats Singing Christmas Carols Is The Holiday Album You Didn't Know You Needed

This is so true.

eta: Nothing says "Let's celebrate the birth of Christ" more than screaming goats.

We sing every verse of everything, and I think it is ridiculous, but the Minister of Music is really into the words/meaning.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Truer words, man.

Three verses, max, with very few exceptions. That is my rule..

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

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."

That was playing at one of the stores Dad and I went to!

I'm inordinately fond of Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You," especially the version with Jimmy Fallon and the Roots.

pulls up the MCR cover version on the iPod. (Of course there's an MCR cover).
