An Instant Christmas Classic

I’ve previously expressed my absolute disdain for Christmas music but I suppose that I would have to admit that such a generalization is not completely accurate. There are some exceptions to the rule but they tend to gravitate to the older classics and artists. When artists such as Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Judy Garland or Stevie Wonder perform a Christmas song with such brilliance; one would have to be Grinchy indeed to not be moved even a little. My own opinion is that much of the contemporary Christmas music these days finds itself in perfect harmony with its pop counterpart. That is, it’s devoid of life and is as lacking of depth as a puddle of reindeer vomit. No, I’ll take substance and soul any day of the week when the alternative is listing to the latest pop tartlet caterwauling about leaving Santa some cookies.

That’s not to say that there aren’t some decent Christmas songs released by artists that have the potential to become classics. There are some seriously talented people in the world and one would imagine that those people could harness those remarkable skills to re-invent Christmas music. Indeed, I believe that I have found one such person. She’s composed a beautiful Christmas ballad that is sure to be remembered far after this holiday falls by the wayside and we start celebrating Crushing Debtmas instead. I don’t consider it out of the realm of possibility that, at this time next year, those of you with children will be sitting at a Christmas concert positively beaming with delight as your child recites this carol to grand applause. It’s a song that awakens feelings of love, faith and charity in the coldest and darkest of heart. I have to be honest, the first time I heard it, something really did grow three sizes that day. I’m sorry, I really should stop blathering like a moonstruck Who, but I just can’t sing it’s praises enough. Fine, without further ado….


I sure hope Santa wrapped his present. Twice.

I recommend "Father Christmas" by The Kinks

It's easily one of the most refreshingly honest and genuine Christmas songs out there... but then again, I like a healthy dose of cynicism with my merriment.

'Twat the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a beaver was stirring, not even a titmouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas' poon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-bums danced in their heads;
And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled down with the long winter's clap,
When out on the lawn there arose such a moaner,
I sprang from the bed with my sizable boner.

Away to the window I grew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up my sash.
The moon like a breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day objects to blow,
When, what to my wandering eyes should appear,
But a miniature slut, and eight tiny reindeer,
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Dick.


More rapid than premature ejaculators they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;
"Now, Slut! now, Whore! now Trollop, and Vixen!
On your face! on your ass! on, Wench and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch! to the windows, to the wall!
Now flash away! flash away! flash away all!"
As dry heaves that before the wild whorricane flies,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount it twixt thighs,


So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of sextoys, and St. Nicholas too.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The pounding and panting of each little hoof.
As I drew out my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.
He was dressed in his fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with asses and coot;
A bundle of toys he had flung on his crack,
And he looked like a peddler just opening his sack.

His eyes -- how they twinkled! Ass dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, my throes, like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard of his chin was white with fine china snow;
The stump of his pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath;
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook, when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly.


It was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And I gasped when I saw it, in spite of myself;
A wink of his eye and a twist of the head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all our buttocks; then turned with a jerk,
And laying his finger aside of my hose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;
He sprang to his sluts, to his team gave a whistle,


And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him climax, ere he drove out of sight,
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night."

Um, Merry Christmas to you, too.

THAT'S IT.

The Internet, you've had a good run, but it's time to go away now. The costs have now grossly outweighed the benefits.

"With the sleigh full of sextoys"
Yay! It really IS the most wonderful time of the year!

Never in my life have I encountered an artist so dedicated to her craft. Every single song falls in line with her target themes, choreography, and vocal styling. It is a joy to discover such a unique and steady vision in the world of music. To be frank, it's enough to make this cynic's heart grow three sizes just in time for Christmas.

I bow to you, D-Day.

Rhianna must be so pissed right now because, minus the auto-tune and T-Pain, this was track number one on 'A Very Special Christmas With Rhianna'

That's a terrible choice in paint color. What was she thinking??? It does nothing for her graduation photo (the obvious centerpiece of the living room) and the Santa picture is such an afterthought. Very curious.

Maybe she's from a country where bold colors are considered stylish. Maybe the paint guy at Lowe's was drunk. Maybe it was the only way to hide the blood splatter. Maybe she . . . what did she just say?

Oh. I see. Carry on, then.

Why does she keep pointing at her crotch? Does she think we would be able to miss it? With the camel toe and the hip jerking and the chorus that goes "vagina, pussy pussy"...

Nevermind. Must dash. I need to make a list of people who've wronged me in the past and make sure they get their Christmas present. How hard do you think it would be to hack a television satellite?

The only vagina on that aberration would be postoperatively activated. Look at the size of those mitts. "She" can one-hand dunk an exercise ball.

Oh my Christ, someone get this woman a vibrator STAT, I can tell already it's been a few years for her.

Oh, and how epic would it be if she went on tour with Peaches? It would be frickin' amazing! I'd pay money to see that shit!

Vagina being my favorite word...
