My extreme change in posting in the past 6+ months has no specific
problems or issues. Just know my change started with - tired of spending
*SO* much time each day in this group.
I'm always here every day - never think I've unsubscribed.

Anyway I just hope everyone here (and I do mean everyone) has a better
than average day.

No time now to even provide links to my 'all time' favorite two
Christmas songs. If anyone is curious, easy search to listen to:

1) Favorite carol - 'Oh Holy Night'
2) Favorite xmas song - 'Happy Christmas' by John Lennon

Note: Do remember that most of my many fav songs have little to do with
the lyrics. All about the total sound, including voice.

I don't have a favorite carol. This one has been getting a lot of
play inside my head this year:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iuqOOL49Mo

There's another one that's been on rotation, but it's an Annunciation
carol:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXoJ7w3sHc0
I guess I'll have to revisit it around March 25.

I suppose my favorite "xmas song" is "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch".
Pop Christmas songs really aren't my thing.

Oh, hey. Has anybody else seen "Liam Neeson Auditions for Mall Santa
Claus"?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqG621-drmk
It's been around a while, but I just ran across it last week.

Same here.

> OB Food: Hummingbirds definitely love *high-carb* meals! ;]

If only I had the metabolism of a hummingbird.

My Christmas haul this year included a few food-related items. Some
very small plastic whisks so I'll quit beating up my glass measuring
cups when I make a serving of salad dressing. A batter bowl, because
pouring from a regular mixing bowl just isn't cutting it anymore. And,
best of all, a tin of pistachio oil. It'll be lemon-pistachio dressing
on tonight's salad!

Merry Christmas, one and all.

After all the damn xmas music in the shops for the last 6 weeks, the
last thing I want to hear in this house is another xmas carol. So,
while I'm cooking this afternoon, I'll play some Shostakovich string
quartets and Jessye Norman singing Richard Strauss and Mahler.

There are so many carols that are _not_ played in the shops, I could
do a couple of hours of carols at home, easily.

I used to play Messiah on the CD player in my car as I drove around
Christmas shopping. Now I do most of my shopping online, except for
stocking stuffers.

"Fairytale of New York" could be a Christmas classic in the US, but maybe not the near future. It's a song about broken dreams and the uncertainties of love and the lyrics are the part that gets you. The composer and singer of the song died last month and the Irish folk gave him a truly swinging send off. Amazing funeral.
