Wow, this is the first thread I ever started where the number of entries reached merited being shown in blue. Thanks.   

Here's my Blue Christmas update: I turned on the radio on Saturday to hear the last two lines sung by a bluegrass group. I don't know who they were, but it may have been as bad as Elvis' version. That evening on a live weekly country music concert where I perform, one of the groups did the dreaded song, but I was backstage and only heard the end. But, then, on Sunday, at a monthly gospel show where I also perform, it showed up again. The pastor, concerned that there might be some duplication of carols, decided to permit non-religious Christmas music, probably assuming that no one would want to sing depressing songs. He was wrong. Getting back to Saturday afternoon, the same radio show where I almost heard the bluegrass version of BC, featured Daddy Don't get Drunk, but I managed to turn it off after the first three words. Unfortunately, there seems to be a wealth of sad country songs, mostley concerning dead or dying orphans, or as the DJ called them, Miserable Children songs. But, still, no Elvis singing BC. Only two and a half days left. Maybe I'll be lucky.

Oh, yeah, I heard Dominic the Donkey, but remain ignorant of "Christmas SHoes". One more song to dread.

May your days be merry and bright, and free from BC by Elvis.
