Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! (What? Too Soon?)

posted by on November 1 at 12:40 PM

Last minute Halloween errands took me to a Kmart the other night where there were already aisles and aisles of Christmas decorations, ornaments, fake pine trees, stockings, and so much red, green, and gold wrapped candy.

For consumers, the holiday season has begun.

With a deep, inexplicable yet unquestioned love for Holiday music, my rule is generally to hold out until after Thanksgiving so as to not burn out too early. But this year, fuck it. If Kmart can do it, so can I.

My favorite Christmas song: Darlene Love “Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home)”

Any Carpenters x-mas tunes, and of course, Brenda Lee.

The Phil Spector Christmas album is the greatest Christmas album ever. It's so perfectly American, and there's that bitchin' Wall of Sound. This was the first Christmas album I bought when I moved out of my parents' house, and one that my co-workers and husband have grown to hate.

Kinks - Father Christmas.


Father Christmas, give us some money
We got no time for your silly toys
We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
We want your bread, so don't make us annoyed
Give all your toys to the little rich boys
