You should submit that song to Diamond. He has made entire mixes of songs to set your hair on fire. I also like the Christmas schmaltz. In my opinion, it is not always real, but worth cultivating anyway if it makes you happy.

Christmas schmaltz can be used for frying latkes in, if no vegetable oil is handy.

Latkes fried in schmaltz would be totally foul [GROAN!] But I think Christmas schmaltz is fine. It isn't like Chanukah sausage or Passover shrimp.

Your family story has me thinking that I need to pop out a brother or sister for my Cassie and I am too old for that now! Thank you for sharing that. :)

Dusty and I made our advent calendar (Countdown to Christmas) last year. I dreamed up the design and she helped with the decoration. There are a few pictures under the felt flaps that can be changed out - they attached with velcro rather than being glued on. We find images of our "favorite things" on the web and print and add them. This year we have Ringo, Thelonius, Hello Kitty, Boobahs, and Madeline. Of course, nothing beats yours with it's history!

It's unanimous: Death to the shoes! If you still feel uncomfortable about Xmas schmaltz, try listening to this: http://www.daveamason.com/april/mp3/chickendreidel%2Emp3

Okay, totally late to the party on this one, but I meant to do a whole entry on how bad the Christmas Shoes song was! I may still, actually. Everytime it comes on in the car I howl along in my own uniquely terrifying singing voice, and I couldn't be happier. (Yes, I'm the kind of person who can be happy while simultaneously wishing I could stick a fork in my eye because the music is so bad. It's a gift.)
