Okay, I had to run an errand. On my Christmas station comes the song, Baby It's Cold Outside, sung by Dinah Shore and Buddy Clark.

Here are the lyrics: PAY ATTENTION TO THE BOLDED PART.

"Baby, It's Cold Outside"

I really can't stay - Baby it's cold outside
I've got to go away - Baby it's cold outside
This evening has been - Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice - I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice

My mother will start to worry - Beautiful, what's your hurry?
Father will be pacing the floor - Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry - Beautiful, please don't hurry
Maybe just a half a drink more - Put some records on while I pour

The neighbors might think - Baby, it's bad out there
Say, what's in this drink? - No cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how - Your eyes are like starlight now
To break this spell - I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell

I ought to say no, no, no - Mind if I move in closer?
At least I'm gonna say that I tried - What's the sense in hurting my pride?
I really can't stay - Baby don't hold out
Ah, but it's cold outside

I've got to get home - Oh, baby, you'll freeze out there
Say, lend me your coat - It's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand - Thrill when you touch my hand
Why don't you see - How can you do this thing to me?

There's bound to be talk tomorrow - Think of my life long sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied - If you caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay - Get over that hold out
Ah, but it's cold outside
Oh, baby, it's cold outside
Oh, baby, it's cold outside

Among other things, SAY WHAT'S IN THIS DRINK? This dude is trying to roofie Dinah Shore! WTH????? What an f'n creeper!

And this is a damn Christmas song?

I played the video and read along. It was fun. The lyrics are missing a verse that they sing ("...maybe just a cigarette more..."). Thx, Mal

Okay, stole that straight from Sunny.

I can't take it anymore you guys. I just have to yap about Christmas.

First, I would just really like to encourage all of you --

If someone says Merry Christmas! to you, respond in kind and add a big smile.

If someone says Happy Hanukkah! to you, respond in kind and add a big smile.

If someone wishes you Happy Holidays, Season Greetings, Happy Kwanzaa, Joyous Festivus for the Rest of Us, respond in kind and add a big smile.

Is it really, really going to hurt you to just smile and say, "Same to you!" whether you celebrate that particular holiday or not? Is it going to wound you to your very core?

The sentiment that is said to you is said with no maliciousness and only with joy and good wishes for the season. Just accept them. Please?

Also, I have now preset one of my buttons for my Sirius car radio with a Christmas song station. I have attempted to sing along with Burl Ives, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Yes. I have.

I also went and bought a Star Shower Slide Show to add to my other Star Shower light fixtures. I use them inside. They are fabulous and yes, I have already checked it out.

And, I would like to give you the link to this lady on present wrapping. She has videos for more styles.


Even though a lot of my gifts are money and gift cards, I STILL put them in a box and wrap them pretty. I get very creative with my wrapping. For instance, last year, my nephew wanted money. So, I bought a little wooden chest, small chest, and I gave him money in small bills BUT, I folded the bills into origami shirts. So when he unwrapped the wooden chest and opened it, it was filled with little paper shirts.

So, make an effort to be creative.
Christmas is my most favorite time of year. I love what I call the "sparkle of the season". There is no other time like it....Wishing strangers a Merry Christmas, saying Happy Holidays, whatever they say to me I smile and say it right back! Love all the decorations, the foods, the fellowship with family and friends.....and giving gifts.
We put our tree up on Thanksgiving night, and it stays until New Year's Day.
I used to love sending cards, but a couple years ago money got really tight and I've skipped it those two years.....it didn't feel right doing so, either, so I'm gonna start mailing a few out each week starting at Thanksgiving, and see how that goes.

Bring out the lights! Bring out the food! Bring out the eggnog!! Bring on the Holiday Season!!!! I'm ready!!!!

Jeeeeze, Deej...... I'd have gotten around to it in a week or so. But I do understand your excitement to have a brand new Mr. Tree in your life. Planning the decorations, the lights, how to top him off.....Oh My! ;;D
I couldn't wait. I was just running into so many cool things, I had to start blabbing about it.

This guy is hilarious in concert. Got to see him several years ago here in Fayetteville. It was almost like a concert/stand up comedy act. Very nice man and an amazing voice. He had everyone cracking up the whole concert. He came out into the lobby as everyone was leaving and pretty much let anyone who wanted to stay get a pic. I thought that was pretty impressive dedication to the fans.
