So what's up with Christmas carols and kids' obsession with changing the lyrics to some ghastly narration of horror and physical demise? I'm in the process of choosing carols with my piano students, and as in years past, I get to enjoy listening to a few of them rattle off the latest version of Jingle Bells or Joy to the World, with gruesome details of the school burning down or sleigh rides that turn into blood baths or someone being decapitated. I never know whether to laugh or cry.
Next year I might make up a Christmas carol I can rattle off- a tale of horror and physical demise as the result of kids not practicing their Christmas carols enough... A cheerful yet ominous tune, sure to strike terror in the heart of anyone not "able" to sit and play their song for ten minutes a day... [evil laugh] Oh the horror! The horror!!

Hmmm... I feel like an idiot asking this since I have all the Seinfeld episodes on DVD (the released ones, that is), but what's the Seinfeld reference?
...that Santa looks like he's been burning the candle at both ends for way too long!
Do you mind if I put a link to your blog on mine?
My roomie (A.S.) has told me a bit about you and he thinks that you and I would get along great. From what I've read on your blog, I'd agree. Anyway, if you ever want to send me an email there's a link on my profile (under my pic). (I'd ask for your email, but you probably don't want your email addy in your comments or mine).
anyway, peace out!
Wezzy the snow man delt in christmas wraped cocaine but his latest test of his very best left him scrabled in the brain.
Oh, Wezzy the snow man was a stubling bumbling nerd. Though he puase to joke as he delt his coke all his words were badly slurred.
There must have been some poison in that latest batch he tried for once he sniffed a king size wiff he fell right down and died.
Oh Wezzy the snow man lies in funeral home repsoe. Though the addicts say as they pass that way Wezzy came and Wezzy goes.
So I guess I'm still a kid at heart.
So I told you I was reworking my blog and I have it back up again. Check it out at faithagain.com
Hey Lee,
Yeah, I wondered if the Seinfeld thing was a bit too subtle... It was basically for the "So what's up with..." opening line going on to comment on a general observation about quirky things in life.
Thanks for asking. :)
Andrewman,
Wow.
I don't know if many other kids I know could craft such a poem (I would hope not anyways!) But thanks for getting the ball rolling.
I have checked out your website- very cool, all "Mac" and everything. :) I'll be sure to check out this one as well.
Carla, of course that's Seinfeld... hahaha... What is with the tiny bathrooms on airplanes? I should've picked up on that!
later
