... if you feel it, you can't help but move to it.

As our tribute to the anniversary of St. Elvis' comeback -

It's an Elvis Christmas today

White Christmas




Santa Bring My Baby Back (to me)




Merry Christmas Baby




Lonely This Christmas




If you all tingly in your nether regions, don't worry,

you're listening to Elvis; he understands.

There's no ego when you're a ukulele player.

Nothing says Happy Holidays more that a pair of ukulele playing knitted puppets - It's the annual U900 Christmas Special featuring Usagi-no U (Rabbit U) and Kuma-no Kulele (Bear 900).



And so it goes

Life during Wartime

Not to be a Debbie Downer but sometimes the underlying reason for the holidays is lost in the fog of war - Today's theme - The holidays during wartime -


The Christmas Truce on the Western Front of 1914 -




I’ll Be Home for Christmas  Bing Crosby -




Christmas Eve In My Home Town  Eddie Fisher -

Happy Xmas (War Is Over)





And so it goes

All the bright sparkling lights

Today's holiday theme - The lights of Christmas (exterior)

Last year, an Australian lawyer, David Richards, has set a world record by stringing up almost 1.2 million Christmas lights in a shopping center in Canberra, Australia.



Guinness World Records confirmed last year that the 75 miles of multicoloured wire strung in the shape of three interconnected giant, wrapped Christmas gifts was the largest ever display made up of LED lights.



Mr Richards briefly held the Guinness World Record for the most number of Christmas lights strung on a house, in 2014 (502,165 to be exact. If you rolled it out straight would stretch a distance of 29.8 miles.)



But almost immediately afterwards, a family in LaGrangeville, New York, decorated their home with 601,736 Christmas lights, reclaiming their 2012 record.



Mr. Richards didn't take his loss lying down as he has just set the record for the most lights on a single Christmas tree (518,838 lights.)



Once again, it's nice to see that the public is helping support the public utilities. You know that they are barely eking out a living.

It ain't pretty but it's here

For better or worse, the holiday season is once again upon us. We're proud to bring you the Eighth Annual Holiday video festival.

Today, we bring you - Really Bad Christmas songs.  (I received word from the Geneva Convention that I am non legally permitted to post the Duggar family singing Christmas Carols.  It would be considered a war crime.  Duly noted.)


All I Want For Christmas (Is My Upper Plate) - Stan Boreson & Doug Setterberg



Hearing All I want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth is cute once, maybe twice during the holiday season. Hearing a parody, like this, of a song you'd rather not hear is about as exciting as dental surgery.


Christmas Time (Don't Let The Bells End) - The Darkness



I first thought that this was a very funny parody of a metal band doing their version of a Christmas song.  I was wrong; this is a real band and this was a real song (which reached #02 of the UK charts.)


(While not quite a Christmas song, if you read on you'll understand why it has been included in this year's list but I must warn you that is you are suffering from diabetes, please do not watch the following video)
There's No-One Quite Like Grandma - St Winifreds School Choir



There's No-One Quite Like Grandma spent a week at number one having knocked Happy Christmas (War is Over) off the top spot, before being replaced by another Lennon tune, Imagine, in the wake of his death.


Boys and Girls (Xmas Time Love) - The Cheeky Girls



I once thought, their other Christmas song, Have a Cheeky Christmas was bad; I can only ask if  you can forgive me for making you even aware of it's existence.


And our perennial favorite -

The Christmas Shoes - NewSong



What list of cheesy holiday songs would be complete without this wretched dreck concerning a filthy child's odd foot fetish (especially since it centers around his dying mother) - always an uplifting tune.



But I will give Patton Oswald the final word on the subject.

It's nearly here
