Get with it @KSM
We'll kick this off with a couple of renditions of the great Leroy Anderson's Sleigh Ride
First the Glenn Miller Orchestra
Then the great Ronnie Bennett (before Phil Spector beat her) and the Ronettes
-
Most of the Dickies' song catalog clocks in at 1963 Beatles length, yet still feels about twice as long as it needs to be. This one is no exception.
-
Thanks for starting this thread. @JUAN I thought about it but I was a slacker, just like KSM. ;) :D
-
You beat me to it @JUAN by three hours! I almost started it last night, but procrastination overcame action. My bad. Glad you started it!
One of my all-time favorites is a nice little Burl Ives song which seems quite appropriate at this time. Makes me think of home. And her. I also play it as the very last song on the day I take all the Christmas decorations down as well as the tree. Won't be the same this year..

It's time for The Yobs!

Beef Tri-Tip with chanterelle mushrooms and Bordelaise sauce. Served with herbed mashed potatoes, roasted yellow cauliflower (if I can still get it), and pan fried green beans with garlic.
Dessert will be a brûléed vanilla brioche bread pudding.
I probably will make a German style Riesling Soup.
What do you folks have planned?

I bet she ate one single pea for Christmas dinner.... and still felt the need to put a finger down her throat to get rid of all those calories.

I liked most of A&M's album covers. Their art department did well for the most part. There were some real delightful treats on A&M

Hey @JUAN ! Thanks for putting up the Ellgab version of our Christmas Tree. I knew we couldn't rely on @Bart Ell or @KSM to do it this year. I've got a few goodies to drop off as Christmas gets nearer
This will be the first and the lamest. But @ShayP will understand. He may think it's stupid but he'll understand

If anyone wants a good cry, watch Nestor, the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey. 1977 stop motion animated movie. A young ShayP cried when Nestor's mom died.

Off to the IGA to get some Christmas cheer.
-
Around here, we don’t know anything about that white mess. We know about timbales and altered chords.
-
Bah Humbug; now that's too strong!
'Cause it is my favorite holiday.
But all this year's been a busy blur
Don't think I have the energy
To add to my already mad rush
Just 'cause it's 'tis the season.
The perfect gift for me would be
Completions and connections left from last year.
Ski shop encounter most interesting.
Had his number but never the time,
Most of '81 passed along those lines.
So deck those halls. Trim those trees.
Raise up cups of Christmas cheer.
I just need to catch my breath;
Christmas by myself this year
Calendar picture. Frozen landscape,
Chill this room for twenty-four days.
Evergreens. Sparkling snow.
Get this winter over with!
Flash back to spring time saw him again
Would have been good to go for lunch.
Couldn't agree when we were both free.
We tried, we said we'd keep in touch.
Didn't of course 'till summer time,
Out to the beach to his boat.
Could I join him?
No. This time it was me;
Sunburn in the third degree.
Now the calendar's just one page
Of course I am excited.
Tonight's the night I've set my mind
Not to do too much about it.
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year.
Hardly dashing through the snow
'Cause I bundled up too tight.
Last minute have-to-dos:
A few cards, a few calls
Because it's RSVP.
No, thanks. No party lights.
It's Christmas Eve, gonna relax,
Turn down all of my invites.
Last fall I had a night to myself
Same guy called; Halloween party.
Waited all night for him to show.
This time his car wouldn't go.
Forget it, it's cold, it's getting late.
Trudge on home to celebrate.
In a quiet way unwind.
Doing Christmas right this time.
And he has provided me
With the world's smallest turkey.
Already in the oven, nice and hot.
Oh damn! Guess what I forgot.
So on with the boots
Back out in the snow
To the only all night grocery.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
In the line is that guy I've been chasing all year.
'Spending this one alone,' he said.
'Give me a break, this year's been crazy.'
I said 'Me too, but why are you..
You mean you forgot cranberries too?'
Then suddenly we laughed and laughed.
Caught on to what was happening.
That Christmas magic's brought this tale
To a very happy ending.
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year.

Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas

Am I the only one that can't stand that George Michael Christmas song? Also, Mariah Carey? I noticed she has a special coming up. Ugh.
Oh, and Dr. Seuss' The Grinch can suck it as well.
I'm actually in the Christmas spirit this year. Occasionally my bitterness needs to be let out.

So, what are your Christmas day plans?
Anybody..
I am going to make a delicious roast chicken stuffed with lemon, thyme, rosemary, and seasonable seasonings rubbed inside and out. This will make for delicious bastings. I realized late last night that in my haste when packing to move that I failed to pack certain things like a BAKING DISH/Roasting pan! A cookie sheet will have to suffice, and it will.
Accompanying the chicken will be roasted fingerling potatoes and Brussel sprouts. I'll have stuffing on the side, and of course gravy. Dessert will be a chocolate-chip-cookie-cake.
Booze? Is that what you're asking me? BOOZE? Well, yes, copious amounts of various winter ales and lagers, not to mention GUINNESS. Throw in some Irish Whiskey (good stuff) and some GIN (good stuff) and I'll quickly develop a WC Fields nose.
I do not yet have a anyone to fuck put up some shelves for, so therefore I shall enjoy all the above alone. And that's OK. More for me and V. Speaking of V (Vera) she'll make off like a bandit with chicken scraps 'n such mixed in with her regular giant breed kibbles.

@KSM I like the cut of your jib. Very nice meal. Vera will enjoy hers for sure. How does your stomach handle that mix of booze?
For me, it was just going to be a stay at home holiday with me, my aunt, and mom. My aunt bailed though. Nonetheless, just a quiet stay at home holiday. So, just me and mom. It'll just be a day listening to Christmas tunes and watching some old movies. Of course, opening a few gifts. Plus I'll call and/or text some friends and family.
I'll make breakfast and dinner. Breakfast will be the usual eggs, buckwheat pancakes, and peppered bacon.
Dinner will be a roasted Beef Tri-Tip with chanterelle mushrooms and Bordelaise sauce (If I can find bone marrow that isn't cost prohibitive! Otherwise, Red Wine glazed). Served with Gouda mashed potatoes and fresh herbs, roasted yellow or purple cauliflower (if I can still get either), and pan fried green beans with garlic. I may do charred asparagus instead. I'm on the fence.
Dessert will be a brûléed vanilla brioche bread pudding.
I probably will make a German style Riesling Soup as well.
Oh. Please tell me you're not going to eat the entire chocolate chip cookie cake in one day. I know. I know. You work it off. *sigh*

Well, THAT sounds incredibly awesome! Yummy!!
I will try not to eat the entire cake in one sitting. I will, try
Yum, yum, as they told Grandpa Jones.
Not your best work.

Merry Christmas to you too, Damon.

Thanks @Rainman for setting the record straight. I have heard La Marilyn's real voice crooning Happy Birthday to the President and to Diamonds and didn't think this sounded much like her. But there it was. And everyone likes looking at Marilyn. Even straight girls. So I posted it. The version I'm most familiar with is Eartha Kitt's. grrowwlll

Honey, of course pagans had the TREE before it became part of the Christmas celebration as we know it. They used evergreen trees in celebration of the solstice but as many pagans became Christians they didn't abandon all of their traditions. Hence the Christmas tree. Doesn't have any bearing on Christmas. So what's the big deal?
You people ;) always try the pagan angle but you end up short as there is nothing more to add past the fact THAT THEY LIKED TREE'S! :P

I’ve actually lost 5-6. I can’t eat much when I’m playing and I’ve been playing a lot this month.
In fact, the preaching stops and the playing starts at about 17:00.

Good question. Definitely possible. Although I will not be receiving chocolates and goodies from others, I will take it upon myself to stock up on cookies and Turtles. Come to think of it, I don't know that you have Turtles down here. That would be sad. Perhaps I'll order in some sweet Georgia Browns, but they won't be as good.

Well, not ALL the brown stuff. This time I bought enough Christmas/Winter beer/ale to have it around all year, instead of running out or having to ration it.
With Anchor Brewing going out of business this summer, the shelves are definitely missing something without their Christmas ale. Still have a few from last year though.

That could be! I'm not sure the French portion of the box was fully translated - Bart, if you tell me how to say 'butt plug' in French, I can check.

After the winter ales come the barleywines - late Jan, early Feb? These I buy extras, they age like certain wines. I've got some going back to at least 2010. It's fun to have a few people over, line up multiple years of the same brand, and see how they change from year to year.
I mostly get these because, you know, Bigfoot. And cartoons. And they were the first brewery around here to put out a barleywine.

Great full-bodied beers. Tons of calories, but worth every sip during the season.

This Thursday is Christmas decoration day at my place. Nobody but Vera and I. She'll have her Christmas collar on and I'll wear a Santa hat while creating the scene to jolly ol' Christmas classics.
Dean Martin
Frank'
Nat King Cole
Bing Crosby
And Burl Ives.
...and an apple cinnamon pork roast in the oven! :D
Feel like I'm going to be the only one carrying this thread this season. Oh, sure, you Scrooge's will chime in with tasteless humor-isms of Christmas mockery and even unsolicited and inappropriate sexual content, but I'll be the only quality contributor.

I drink very little, but I try to at least have certain favorites available when I do. Same with fancy desserts. I can easily pedal off the calories in no time.

hehehe sorry about that. Love the concerts!

Nice. Given how little you drink, it's a little odd to think that I could absorb all the beer you bought for Christmas in one sitting so-to-speak.

There's no way I'll drink all this myself over Christmas and the upcoming year, but it will be there when I want it. The goal is to make it to Thanksgiving with at least a few on hand. I still have a little left over from last year. It ages well, my son likes it, it'll get drank.
I can drink the Summer light crisp pilsners after a Winter bike ride, Octoberfests and bocks anytime, etc. I regret not stocking up on Anchor Porters before they closed, that was a good beer.

Instead of doing the smart thing and heading back from NYC the usual way I decided we should detour to Montreal for a few days.
Smart Bart did not check the weather and had no idea he was driving into the first winter storm of the season.

I'll post in the proper Christmas thread.
Last night the brass group played Christmas music at a house famous for its Christmas display, grinches, Santas, and other characters. Tour busses come to this place. I almost froze. Right on the marsh. 52F, 97% humidity, 10-knot wind. Now that might not sound cold to our northern brethren, when the only clothes you own are t-shirts, shorts, and a pair of flip flops, that's cold.

52? Yeah.. that could get a little iffy when you're dressed so scantily clad. ;D
Sounds like a good gig. Thank you for the report. :D

The orchestra's annual Christmas cantada. I played about 99.5% of the right notes. All of the members of the Children's choir wore shoes - at only a block from the beach that's a problem sometimes. The music starts about 10-minutes in.
-
That was great @JUAN. That ending was Grand with a capital G. Thanks!
-
I enjoyed that very much @JUAN
I full screened it and cranked it up, even broadcasted the audio to every room in the place via the Ccrane FM Transmitter. Felt like I was a kid (or me) in church at Christmas.
I sang along.
I made rice.
I folded some laundry.
A LOT better than Bart could do, right @damon ?
-
... I made rice...
What did you make it out of?

What did you make it out of?
I caused the rice to become cooked from its previous state of what would be considered to be uncooked. Said rice is now in my refrigerator to be kept preserved until I decide to turn it into poo by way of my functioning bodily mechanicals.

Do you have a rice maker? That's the way to go if you cook it often.
Rice the next day is so dry, its best use is for making fried rice, which can be awesome. Or congee, bleh.

99.4%, pretty, pretty good.
Why are there Christmas trees in a church?

Why are there Christmas trees in a church?
Coz it's Christmas Time.
Ya' know I'm just not sensing a Christmassy vibe on the board this year. I think we've lost too many contributors.

Do they put a Santa hat and beard on their Jesus staute too?
How about some HAPPY BIRTHDAY banners?

Heh heh heh I knew you're going angling in this direction.
The trees are there simply because it's Christmas time, Bard.

Not sure that's equivalent, but where are you with the poinsettias?

Why do you think churches wouldn't have decorated Christmas trees or even Santa hats? They're not part of the ''Christmas story'', but as secular seasonal decorations they aren't in opposition to it are they? They aren't trying to re-create a manger scene here.

I expect shepherd shit and manger scenes.
The poinsettias make it look more like a whorehouse than a house of worship!
-

He liked pine. He still likes pine.

Is that Christmassy? No. You're angry because you've gotten chubby.
-
The manger scene at this church is during the week before and outside. This church is very Scottish. In the spring they bring in a bunch of bagpipers (who actually play in tune) and parade around their tartans on poles. The church women like Christmas trees and greenery.

I look forward to their EASTER BUNNY ON THE CROSS display.

Some of the women wear Easter bunny ears.

The answer is NONE! None more Christmassy!!

Well, she already lived there so it was more like he found her. However, being a conservative guy I would think he want to keep the majority of them in Venezuela.

Dinner will be a roasted Beef Tri-Tip with chanterelle mushrooms and Bordelaise sauce (If I can find bone marrow that isn't cost prohibitive! Otherwise, Red Wine glazed). Served with Gouda mashed potatoes and fresh herbs, roasted yellow or purple cauliflower (if I can still get either), and pan fried green beans with garlic. I may do charred asparagus instead. I'm on the fence.
Dessert will be a brûléed vanilla brioche bread pudding.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You'll have to report the results.
I stuffed, seasoned, trussed and dry brined an 11LB chicken overnight. First time trying this, testicles crossed. Veggies and all other stuff will be a delicious breeze. :)

I hope it was a grand one @GravitySucks :)
I don't know what it is, but that really annoys me. Can't figure it. Something about it really is annoying.

Merry boxing day.
How many people were at your place?
-
I survived two days of cooking. Scaled way back from recent years. Now everyone I know wants me to make them marshmallows.
-
Nobody was at my place, including me. We all meet at my mother's huge old house where my niece and her 45 children now live. Add my mother from the old folks home, two old maid sisters-in-law, my nephew and his wife, and my sister's husband. Thank goodness all that ruckus is 200-miles away for most of my year.

Were they having too much fun? They are Europeans after all.
-
Were they having too much fun?
I think that's it. It was too jolly and forced, although it is for TV so I should cut them some slack.
But I'm still annoyed. Don't think I'm not.
-
... and forced...
I felt the same. Kitschy, like wearing ugly Christmas sweaters, ''ho ho ho, this is the silliness we engage in this time of year''. Schmaltzy. Fake Christmas spirit.
-
Kitschy. Schmaltzy. Fake Christmas spirit.
Yeah and a lot of posturing. Nobody is that happy. Ever!

This is the office view of Christmas. That's it. Outside of Hershy's kisses every-fucking-where that was as Christmassy as it got.

Well, a picture says a thousand words those ornaments are horrible and without any form of Christmas character. So..

They look like bugs. Do you work for one of those companies planning to make us eat bugs?
And here's a Christmas multi track I found interesting

I enjoyed that. Like a Christmassy hands on documentary on tracking.
I think they are buglike. Yellow with black trim. I work for a money moving estab.

For the record, tomorrow would have been 2nd Christmas. I'll rejoin C2 next year when hopefully I'll have nailed down a new "love recipient" who enjoys Christmas as much as I do.

Well, normally I would say that it's a little early for this but that one is a beautiful way to kick it off this year. Are there any ads in this one? Three hours.. :)
The haunting sounds of the piano sadden me a great deal. But.. :)

To be honest I haven't really done much about it. Getting laid is easy. But anything meaningful and CHRISTMASSY is somewhat elusive as I have put almost zero effort into it. The dentist was rich, but not Christmassy and in person I found her to be a little more elfish than her pictures led on. They're all swingers in "open relationships" around here. Gross. And that is definitely not who I want for Christmas. I shall not settle for anything less than ideal.
That said, a jolly fine chap I remain.

I went to Walmart for gas today and the Salvation Army bell ringer was already out.

Christ... Not even Thanksgiving week. (Pre-black Friday though.)
I am looking forward to the ladies in mini Christmas dresses. Spreading holiday cheer through, er, um...

If you visit any stores now, prepare to see Christmas displays.
It's the Holiday Season!!! :D

Annual orchestra Christmas Cantata. Smaller orchestra this year. Starts at about 9 minutes in and the main music at about 22-minutes. Their new preacher is kind of hot IRL.

I'd guess her husband has a shot occasionally.

We have holidays named after people's birthdays, MLK, Washington.
So we should change Dec. 25 to "Christ's Birthday."

We? I don't have either of those.
You've got President's Day which isn't even on Washington's birthday most of the time.
On top of that it is known for mattress sales.
I also still can't understand how changing the name would stop Christmas markets from selling so many damn wooden ornaments.
You did not help this situation at all.
NOT ONE BIT.

Now I've got it covered in 3 languages if ever needed.

Tis the 18th.
I decorated last night to the scent of a large Christmas French Vanilla candle wafting throughout the place.
It was incredible. Gave me the munchies for something sweet. Love those festive candles. :-*
Placement is key with those things, as one must think strategically.

I called to see about volunteering for a few hours at a soup kitchen downtown on Christmas day. To my pleasant surprise I was informed that they were inundated with volunteers for that day so I was not needed. They will however use me on the 26th for a few hours, so perhaps that's even better. :)
I bet the coffee's gonna be good.

Where are the pictures of the girls with the big boobies in Christmas cheer-leading outfits

Last time I volunteered at the NC Food Bank they had us sort thru huge sacks of potatoes. Some were rancid and smelled horrid. I spewed. If she still approaches you after rancid tater spew, she's a keeper.

Well, yesterday I had my famous Pancake Omelette for breakfast as a rehearsal for the big day on the 25th. I can post the recipe.. it is absolutely incredible. This is not a low-cal breakfast by any stretch, so get ready!
I'm up 3 pounds as of today. By the 26th I expect this number to grow that number to 5-7 pounds to shed between the 27th and New Years. It is my hope for you all to get fat this season. Keep your heart light, your body jolly, and the yuletide Gay. Gay! G'HEY!
"1 to 2 pounds
Research shows that people gain an average of 1 to 2 pounds (approximately 0.5 to 1 kg) during the holiday season, which includes Christmas1. During Christmas, people saw their weight increase by 1.35% on average (about 1.2kg or 3lb)2. While this might not sound like a significant amount, the concern is that these small weight gains can add up over the years and contribute to long-term weight gain."
