OK so it's a few days late, and the pic is from 2001, but here. Have a Santa hat pic.

While I'm on the subject of holidays. I think there should be a ban on all new holiday music albums... at least the ones where they try new arrangements on old classics.

There's only so many ways you can re-arrange Jingle Bells. And just because you throw extra trills into it, it's still the same old Deck the Halls. NO MORE!

Instead, I offer my holiday playlist:

Vince Guaraldi's A Charlie Brown Christmas
George Winston: December
Danny Elfman: Soundtrack and score from The Nightmare Before Christmas
Manhattan Transfer: Snowfall (majestic)
Barenaked Ladies: Christmastime (Oh Yeah)
The Andrews Sisters: Christmas Tree Angel (recommended by rrumm! It's sugary sweet!)
Erasure: Yahoo!  (It's not really a Christmas song per se, but I love it...)

And of course, the Heat Miser & Snow Miser songs from A Year Without Santa Claus, but I couldn't find that on Rhapsody.

Here is my holiday card to you.

May the Flying Spaghetti Monster bring you happiness and joy!

So I had a great birthday week. Many THANK YOU's for the well-wishes!

It's been awhile since I had a full-on, name-dropping, show-n-tell, what-I-did-this-week narrative, and since it's my birthday, I'm going to take that liberty now.

Here's pretty-much how the week went down:

OK I'm done.
