How about "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth"? LOL! I broke a tooth the weekend after Thanksgiving, so I get a crown tomorrow. My Christmas package from my daughter was last seen going through Philadelphia...no wonder Palin plugged Rudolph...he is senile! LOL! Seriously though, music is my last refuge in a hostile world, and it always lifts me! Hey Amy!

Amy, thank you. I am impressed by the Clannad pic, the four figures standing still in the cold barren landscape like rocks arranged at Stonehenge, beautiful Moya Brennan (or is that her sister Enya?) somber in her hooded cloak: fitting imagery for these short & chilling, blessed days of early winter.

Dave Barry has managed to write his Year In Review without being hateful to the Clintons, bashing Sarah Palin (too much) and while demonstrating that he has not drunk the cool aid! A little laugh now and then can't be bad. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/12/19/AR2008121901343.html?hpid=topnews And thanks for the beautiful music.
