My taste in holiday music is just as eccentric as my taste in everything else. So I'm going to share some holiday music you may have never heard of!
First, let's revisit Bob Rivers. Bob Rivers and his friends have put out tons of awesome holiday parody music for your enjoyment. I personally cannot resist "Wreck the Malls" ("tamper with their Muzak system; switch something for Twisted Sister") and "Grahbe Yahbalz" ("Grahbe Yahbalz like Michael Jackson...").
I Am Santa Claus video here.
There's no sound samples, but here are the amazon.com listings for:

Electric Holiday:
This one was given to me as a holiday gift by my high school friend, MI. I had already made it through the gag gifts, as we were sitting in the parking lot of a used record store. MI handed this wrapped gift, obviously a CD, with a look on her face. And I knew exactly what it was, especially when she said that she had bought it for me, but she really didn't want to give it to me. I actually looked for a long time to find another one to give to her (before the days of home CD burning), but never succeeded.
I still have this and was listening to it in my car while running a couple last-minute errands today. Fun little poppy EP with a ridiculously adorable cover!

Trim the Tree:
I bought this last one myself while trying to find another copy of the above CD for my friend. This one's a prize winner in many ways. Lyrics like: "Well it's Christmas Eve, everybody knows that it's time to leave, crust of plastic snow stapled to the eaves, Order up another shot for me..." are so appropriate for the holiday experience of any grown person. The song, "(LGH) For Christmas," is ridiculously fun... if you have a sense of humor. It's the ultimate holiday stoner song: "...then we'll drop some Frosty Windowpane and dream of Screaming Candycanes..." My ex-hippie mom loved this thing to death, though I had to agree to not play it around the grandparents, for obvious reasons.
This wins the gift-wrapping accompaniment award for me this year, even though track four, ("Yule Log") is actually the sound of a log crackling on the fireplace.

Wishing you many musical adventures in the New Year!
Hey all! This means we've made it to Christmas Eve with all our limbs intact... well... except for Ash, that is! I want to wish everyone reading a Happy Holiday and thank you for putting up with my bizarre musings!
I've got lots of fun posts on the agenda for once the holidays are over. Thinking about musing over movie kisses and movie sex, as well as review the awesome movie I watched last night, along with several others. And I'm considering re-enacting Burn Notice with ducks!
And thanks to Bruce Campbell for not sending an assasin after me. Here's a Burn Notice holiday card for all my good friends out there in cyberland!
I've been accused of not giving Autolycus enough love this holiday season. My bad, just never had time to 'shop something up for the 12 Days of Bruce-mas. But I figured I'd better make it up to the Hercules and Brisco fans out there by posting these lovelies...
A little Brisco, anyone?
And can't forget Jack!
Hope these warm your heart this holiday season!
Here's some screenshots from the Burn Notice Christmas special...
We're getting close now, kids! Here's a bit of Army of Darkness fun!
Here's something Ash really wants!
I give you this beautifully wrapped package!

Technically, the 12 days of Christmas starts on Christmas Day and goes until January 6th. However, most people think of it as the twelve days leading up to Christmas. It's an anticipation thing. And a "make shoppers even more frantic" thing.
So, to lighten up the blog a bit, here's The First Day of Christmas... Bruce Campbell style!
Let's visit a holiday recently past...
