Because I and our children sing in choirs (read: begin singing Christmas songs in September), Christmas music has been playing at our house for a month. This goes against EVERY rule, since Thanksgiving is the best. holiday. ever. But I find myself (gasp!) enjoying the spirit of the season I am feeling.
The Emporer Radio is deceiving you. You cannot bring summer back to life by skipping Gorge Yourself Til You Fall Asleep Day. Also known as, let's watch a lot of football day.
There must be balance in the universe, young padawon.
Do not give in to the darkside.
p.s. I know your father. okay, not really, but I know who he is.
It is only OK if it is Mannheim Steamroller and it is snowing outside. Because Eugene doesn't get much snow, Randi and I are going to have to wait until Black Friday to bust out our Mannheim Steamroller vinyl.
I'm not sure Bob the WW would divorce you for trying to acquire a chihuahua (it would be a serious trial, however), but Christmas music before Thanksgiving? Better not have a chihuahua sitting on your lap on November 16 listening to Christmas music or things could get ugly.
You should go right out and buy or adopt a dog smaller than your cats, smaller than the parrot. You already have a dog larger than a pony. There's a symmetry there.
Lucky for me, Blogger recommended your blog to me tonight! I'm a former Utahn, so I remember your great columns, and I also remember you speaking to a class I took at BYU many moons ago.
One more thing--rules about Christmas music were made to be broken.

What?! No "Bah, humbug!"?
Gasp.
I love it. As of right now, I'm listening to the Messiah...and I have to admit I've been listening to it since Halloween. I regret nussink!
