Been having fun ferreting out interesting Christmas songs for karaoke gatherings. We got through a creditable version of "Marvelous Toy" this week, and two of my buddies enjoyed Hanukkah In Santa Monica, even if the rest of the crowd didn't get it. Last night I discovered a rowdy 'Season's Upon Us' by the Dropkick Murphys, trying to learn that. And some great soul on Youtube has been uploading very obscure stuff such as "It's Too ___ing Early for Christmas" which I coulda used 3 weeks ago. I'm glad Charmion and keb are doing choral music at Christmas, though I know it can add to the busyness of the season. I kind of miss decades past, when real Christmas music was more important than buying stuff. The bed project is finally done and dusted. The dresser and vanity got cleaned up (no small project), one drawer repaired, friction tape applied. All the furniture is now in place, with clothes moved in. Wonderful to have a clean furnished room that looks good and does what it's supposed to do. There is still a big mirror in poor shape that needs mounting or stowing away, not sure which yet, but the hard work is done and there is now floor space in the living room. On to many other concerns!
