Seasonal Songs

Little known fact: nothing fills you with holiday cheer like a seasonal song from the great Willie Nelson. It's a little family secret I learned from the Serpentines.

In addition to the Red-Headed Stranger, I'm enjoying Christmas classics from Elvis, Aimee Mann, and (oddly) Sufjan Stevens, whom I hate during the secular months.

Bummer alert: you can't get the second-greatest Xmas song of all time, John Lennon's "Happy Xmas (War is Over)" on iTunes.

But you can get the greatest Christmas song, "Christmas Time is Here", as heard in A Charlie Brown Christmas.

Also: Santa Claus Lane? Right down Santa Claus Lane, huh?

And: "Jingle Bell Rock" doesn't rock. Far from it.
