Sybil Bruncheon’s “Christmas Lore From Around The World!”...

Christmas Devil-Elves Hun Ter(1198).jpg

...we all have heard about Santa's charming elves who help him manufacture a gazillion toys and then handle all the bureaucratic, diplomatic, and strategic details of getting them all to the right places in a mere 24 hours all around the globe. But has it ever occurred to you that there might have been disgruntled or even "rogue" elves who washed their tiny hands of the whole tiresome ritual dragging on and on, century after century, wondering when their own time for fun and festivities might come?..... well, it has been revealed by the Federal Department of Domestic Terrorism that we are now at a "Code Hollyberry RED Alert". Their special Subdivision of Strange And/Or Little Persons has named three particularly dangerous criminals, and this is a rare image taken of them breaking into an innocent citizen's home just yesterday... they are, from left, “Cokey”, known for dispensing all manner of dangerous/merry-making medicinal substances, mostly what he describes as “innocent herbals”. Peyote, cannabis, morphine, Quaaludes, MDA, MDM, LSD, and Lindt chocolates….. this fellow spreads laughter and leaps off balconies like confetti in his deadly wake!....sadly, most of his victims have huge smiles on their faces when they’re scraped off the pavement below. Next we have “Banksy” in the top hat. Loaner and scammer of money, bonds, stocks, derivatives, and junky costume jewelry with no resale value. He promises a good time, and then rifles your pockets while giving you a cozy hug and some deep tongue activity…you know the type!.... the next thing you know, it’s a marriage license, a brilliant honeymoon, and two weeks later you’re trying to tread water in the middle of the Hudson with cement loafers. And lastly, on the right we have “Lucky Pierre” with the horse-shoe around his waist…. Always upside down you’ll notice. He’s always there with a firm handshake, a “sure-thing” at the race track, the crap table, the MaJong club, or the National Spelling Bee. His advice is always so seductive, so intimately alluring, so trustworthy…and then you find yourself on the Titanic, the Lusitania, the Hindenburg, or honeymoonin’ with Banksy and smoking crack with Cokey in the Palace Hotel in San Francisco on April 18th, 1906 at 5:12 AM…. And it’s all downhill from there!, right? Do yourself a favor this Christmas, look BOTH ways before you invite an elf in for a little eggnog and some nookies!!

CHRISTMAS MUSIC: Guilty Pleasures & Dirty Confessions… Goulet Goulash..

Christmas Music Robert Goulet (1073B).jpg

I know it's very tacky, but I start listening to the Music Choice "Sounds of the Seasons" channel on cable during Thanksgiving week.... As silly as it is to many people, I sometimes just enjoy the simple pleasure of Christmas carols to ease my mind and lower my stress.

Having said that and admitting my “Guilty Pleasure”, I now must add my “Dirty Confession” that I despise some of their Christmas offerings…. Like Robert Goulet’s “This Christmas I Spend With You”…. If ever, EVER there was a song that embodies everything that folks parody about Goulet, it’s this one. He chews and gaaa-rowls and schmoo-OOOZES his way through each and every note. There’s nothing off-hand or thrown away about a single flat or sharp!!…. Even his rests are loaded with unctuousness. Listening to it is like being bathed in hot fudge sauce, which would be terrific, except when someone holds your head under a cascading faucet of it, and your last thought is, “Dear God, I’m going to drown in hot fudge! I can't breathe and .....it hurts! Oh GOD, IT HURTS!!!!....HOT FUDGE HURR… ….GGGGGRRRRRGGGGLLLLLLLJJJJRZZZFGULJHGldhehhjj…..”

CHRISTMAS MUSIC: Guilty Pleasures & Dirty Confessions… Mitch Miller.

Christmas Music Mitch Miller (1073A).jpg

I know it's very tacky, but I start listening to the Music Choice "Sounds of the Seasons" channel on cable during Thanksgiving week.... As silly as it is to many people, I sometimes just enjoy the simple pleasure of Christmas carols to ease my mind and lower my stress.

Having said that and admitting my “Guilty Pleasure”, I now must add my “Dirty Confession” that I despise some of their Christmas offerings…. Like Mitch Miller’s “Must Be Santa”…… yeesh! It’s like a Christmas version of “99 Bottles Of Beer On The Wall”……or that Nipplety Pipplety Wiggly Piggly song Suzanne Pleshette’s schoolchildren all sing in THE BIRDS before her eyes get pecked out!!! I’ve tried singing along with the song (BOTH songs actually!) but I think Hitchcock got it right. Some songs just drive innocent listeners to distraction, and when I hear “Must Be Santa” or Nipplety-Pipplety, I just want to run mad through a shopping center with a Phillips screwdriver….. and a seagull.

CHRISTMAS MUSIC: Guilty Pleasures & Dirty Confessions / Dino is Keeno!...

Christmas Music Dean Martin (1073).jpg

I know it's very tacky, but I start listening to the Music Choice "Sounds of the Seasons" channel on cable during Thanksgiving week.... As silly as it is to many people, I sometimes just enjoy the simple pleasure of Christmas carols to ease my mind and lower my stress.

JEEESH!!! Among my favorites is just about anything Dean Martin sings, but especially "A Marshmallow World". His garbled, nearly falling-down-drunk phrasing amuses me no end! It's that funny, facetious Las Vegasy presentation that doesn't pretend to be something that it's not. Whenever I hear him sing, he just sounds like a favorite uncle clowning around the kitchen and wanting to be loved! ...and oh, how I love him! Thank you, Deano-rooni!!!

Christmas Music DOGS (1073E).jpg

CHRISTMAS MUSIC: Guilty Pleasures & Dirty Confessions / The Holiday Music Edition..... I know it's very tacky, but I start listening to the Music Choice "Sounds of the Seasons" channel on cable during Thanksgiving week.... As silly as it is to many people, I sometimes just enjoy the simple pleasure of Christmas carols to ease my mind and lower my stress.

Having said that and admitting my “Guilty Pleasure”, I now must add my “Dirty Confession” that I despise some of their Christmas offerings!!!!…. Like The Singing Dogs’ rendition of “Jingle Bells”! I am widely known as a rabid animal lover! I ADORE dogs, but this recording has driven me to the point of eating in Korean restaurants…. IN SEOUL!!!
