For the third times in as many weeks, I heard a version Lois Armstrong's "'Zat You, Santa Claus?" on the radio, this morning (I'm reluctant to post a link to the lyrics, because every site I've checked so far is full of popups).

That song makes Santa more of a spooky goblin than a jolly elf, and it reminds me that one Belsnickler's recollection of "...visiting the poor children and scared many of them before we did give them the things..."

I wonder if there's something in the air, this year, that I could have gone nearly my entire life without even knowing this song, and then, hearing three different versions from three different performers all in one season...
