What’s really sad, is the most gorgeous Christmas tune I know-of, is by Crissy Hynde & The Pretenders,

where she uses guitar as a kind of bells…

& she wrote it to be “the most depressing Christmas song ever written”.

It’s about a woman waiting for her husband to return from the war ( Falkland Islands, in that case )…

The catch-of-her-breath, at the end of the song…

Dear madame Hynde, until I found that out, the tune was gorgeous…

Now it’s gorgeous+horrible.

Someday I hope … I don’t know, off-duty Leprichauns, or something, … get even with you for ruining the best Christmas tune in the whole world.

Humbug, woman, humbug.

Last weekend my kid saw snow in a cartoon and he shouted “NO! IT’S NOT CHRISTMAS!”

I guess I’ll keep him.

HALLOWEEN

HALLOWEEN

Sheesh! Look, I don’t want a lot for Christmas! There is just one thing I need…

I’ve already got some of my lights up.

Because they’re programmable RGB lights and I’ve got them set to Halloween colors, NOT CHRISTMAS!

we still have spooky season to go, which is in fact the only thing stopping the resting old god Mariah Carey from awakening from her slumber

Halloween is just the nightmare that comes before Christmas.

The tiny little BZZZZzzzzz sound effect 😂

We’ve not even had gay/goth Christmas yet! (Halloween that is. As a queer goth, I’m a big fan of it)
