Christmas is perhaps my favorite time of year! My office has 13 Christmas trees in it. Four trees are decorated to represent the four houses of Hogwarts, one tree is decorated for my beloved alma mater Texas A&M University, one tree plugs into a USB port and lights up, one is painted on a canvas, one is sewn together out of quilt scraps, one is made of ornaments, one is motioned censored and talks to you (I lost the wall battery...on purpose, two on my Snoopy pencil cup, and one is a paper weight. I like to make people guess how many there are when they come into my office for the first time. It makes me happy.
I like to listen to classic Christmas songs performed by crooners or orchestras. I do not like to listen to pop stars sing Christmas songs because they add warbling that is just unnecessary. Bing Crosby and the Trans-Siberian Orchestra are my favorite. Please no One Direction!
Another thing about Christmas that I like? A Christmas Carol. Now A Muppet Christmas Carol is my favorite rendition, but Neil Gaiman's reading is right up there. For your listening enjoyment, click on the link below and transport yourself to Mr. Scrooge's shop and pray that the ghosts are not visiting you this Christmas.
