Merry Xmas.

I'm listening to the only listenable Christmas album ever recorded.

I'm talking online with people I love.

The kitten is curled up on her head.

On Christmas Day in the morning, I get to sleep late, work out how to use my new iPod Touch, and then play board games. I do not have to deal with my parents, nor do I have to ride out to Martinsville and pretend to be happy to see my seven-months-pregnant sister.

I'm pretty sure this is the true meaning of Christmas.

That's definitely a good album.

...it's in every one of us
by and by

Merry Christmas!

It's the reason I knew how to use my parents' turntable, when it was still hooked up. I still twitch just a little when I hear people other than Rowlf and John singing "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas."

I used to wonder why I'd never actually seen the TV special. Now I know: because it has /never/ been released on VHS, DVD, or other home recording. Boo.

Muppet releases are messed up. I would LOVE to have a video of their production of The Frog Prince.

I remember watching Miss Piggy singing, "If you haven't got a penny, then ha'penny will do, if you haven't got a ha'penny then " and bobbing her head for each next word "God bless you!"

While it has never seen commercial release, these days that does not prove the barrier it once did: YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1szT-GOvug) hosts most of the songs from the special.
