Sam's Top Ten Worst Christmas Carols of All Time

-
10. We Wish You A Merry Christmas
Any song with the line, "Now bring us some figgy putting and bring it right here!" is automatic crap in my book.

9. Blue Christmas
I don't have anything against The King, but the backing vocals on this song are awful. Whoever arranged this song should have their birthday taken away.

8. Felize Navidad
Any Christmas song featured in a Taco John's commercial is going to make this list.

7. Deck the Halls
Hands down the worst lyrics in Christmas carol history. "Don we now our gay apparel." Is this about Liberace? And "Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la"? Could we have a little effort here?

6. O Tannenbaum
Can't understand a word. Something about "can embalm"? Put it on the list.

5. 12 Days of Christmas
First of all, the song is too damn long. Secondly, what's all this about "maids a-milking" and "lords a-leaping" and birds perched in a pear tree? A total stoner song.

4. Jingle Bell Rock
The song just annoys me, that's all.

3. Rocking Around the Christmas Tree
I'm not sure how you rock around the Christmas tree, but Brenda Lee's voice reminds me of the death scream of a rabbit.

2. I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus
Oh great, adultery goes a-caroling.

1. Grandma Got Ran Over By a Reindeer
At least they didn't use the original title, "Grandma Got Disemboweled by the Razor-Sharp Blades of Santa's Death Sleigh."

It's back to work tomorrow.  I am getting the itch to make myself useful again.  I can only be off work for so long and I need to do something.  I could not stay at home all day every day.  It's not for me. So today, since I had the day completely to myself, the task at hand was to do laundry.  And do laundry I did.  As I write this, every article of clothing in the house is clean, folded (mostly) and put away (kind of). My job here is done. While completing the menial task of washing clothes, I had the television on as a distraction.  As usual, since it's not football season, I dialed up Turner Classic Movies. The Singing Nun , starring Debbie Reynolds and Ricardo Montalban, was on, so I casually watched it while waiting for clothes to dry.  Aside from being a nauseating mellow drama, I knew enough about my 1960s music history to know it was based on a true story.  Yes, there really was a singing nun. In fact, we used to have a record of the Singing Nun's bi

Parenting is a tough job.  But I am determined to teach the Tax Deductions good from bad, as evidenced by this video demonstration of the Boy.  He learns quickly.  In fact, he goes so fast, you might have to watch it twice. Still, he's a keeper.

I'm not stupid, but I can be a slow learner some times. Other times, I'm a little intimidated to try something new because I'm afraid I'll screw it up - hey, I've got a history. So after we got our new Mac I was really disappointed that it didn't recognize our digital camera.  In the Microsoft world, much of the technology is "plug and play."  Just plug the USB port into your PC and the new gizmo is up and running.  I have found that isn't necessarily the case with a Mac.  (it could also be very possible I'm doing something wrong - hey, I've got a history). I knew when I purchased a Mac that they weren't compatible with some things - it is Bill Gates' world and we just live in it.  Apple is Microsoft's competitor and Microsoft is the giant of the world.  But the payoff to owning a Mac is that you get a fine-oiled machine that just works .  And that's very much proven true so far. But one rainy evening I decided to ge
