Top 5 funny Holiday Songs:
Enchanted World of Rankin/Bass!
1. Christmas in Hollis (Run DMC)
2. The Chanukah Song Part I (Adam Sandler)
3. The Chanukah Song Part II (Actually, this part is funnier. 1⁄2 Lenny Kravits + 1⁄2 Courtney Love= A Fucking Bad-Ass Jew, indeed!)
4. The Chipmunk Christmas Song (Alvin & the gang)
5. That “Heat Miser” song from “Year Without a Santa Clause”. (“I'm Mister Green Christmas, I'm Mister Sun, I'm Mister Heat Blister, I'm Mister Hundred and One. – Now that’s a great lyric!)
Last week it seemed like everyone I knew was jetting off to Miami for the art fairs but being as I am officially two stops past broke, I was home trying to finish up a project. Over the course of the week I also managed to get appointed Christmas Foreman (Forewoman?). Basically this meant that since I made some off-hand remark about how B did the X-Mas decorations LAST year, I have to do them all THIS year. Actually, it turned out to be pretty fun. I spent all day yesterday pulling boxes out of storage, assembling our artificial (but very tasteful ☺) tree, and arranging various Santas, snow people and putting together a tableau of Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer figurines. My cuz just has scads of this stuff! B left for his weekend job so it was just us cousins for most of the afternoon. She typed away on the computer and played a stunning variety of holiday songs on her itunes while I put up the tree. Fun!
Unfortunately yesterday’s fun has turned into this morning’s nightmare. My back is killing me! I guess I have been too sedentary this fall. Crawling around in storage, and hauling and lifting the stuff for the tree, now feels like the equivalent of completing a triathlon. But at least the house looks nice.

Great songs, Lisa! They put a big smile on my face. I feel your joy at decorating the house as well as your pain from all the bending, stretching and carrying. I put my tree up the day after Thanksgiving (yes, I LOVE Christmas) and I was sore the entire weekend.
I hope you take some pictures and share them with us. :)
