hello fellow bloggers,
in an effort not to be considered one of these "lurker" fellows, i have decided to post a posting. well, here goes. i don't have time for pleasure reading aside from the daily tidbits of political gossip i see on the drudgereport or cnn.com, but i am reading an interesting exegesis on the johannine prologue. i had to choose a topic for my new testament class and have alway been fascinated by the opening "in the beginning was the word..." etc.
what do i want for christmas you ask? well, two things. i want to go on a long run with bruner who will never run with me. i also want some more peanut brittle. i bought some from some kid in the publix parking lot in albany for 6 dollars and it was delicious. he wanted to go to washington dc with my money.
what is wrong with "merry christmas?" i, for one, will not be doing my christmas shopping at wal-mart or target. both have decided that the phrase "season's greetings" is less offensive to the masses. oh yes! please do not remind me that the reason for the season is not the new xbox 360.
i also think elvis has some of the best christmas songs ever. seriously.
oh, and tom doesn't like the rolling stones.
merry christmas!

No I don't like the Stones, Robert. Get over it. In other music news, Elvis is some of the best Christmas music, but Dolly and Kenny's "Once Upon a Christmas" is the all-time greatest Christmas album (if not the best all around album) EVER.
Nothing beats Elvis' "Blue Christmas". It's by far the greatest Christmas song ever covered by a famous singer, well, except for Mariah Carey's "All I want for Christmas Is You". (That was a joke).
Just to keep the peace, I'm going to give a shout out for Celine Dion's screeching "O Holy Night". Surely someone else who reads this blog thinks that it's the best *ever*.
No, my friends. You're all wrong. There is one Christmas Album that rises far above any other. It features the melodic beauty of one Alvin, Simon, Theodore...DO-DOOT---DO-DO-DO---DOOT. Yes, that's right...Hands down the Chipmunks take the cake for best Christmas album EVER!
