♫ Brat lats everywhere / snowflakes fill the air ♫

It’s the time of year for the Ferrero Rocher Christmas commercial again and again and again and again . . .

(Well, “brat lats” is what she sounds like.)

A little Santa hat would be cute between those ears.

The appearance of this song in the strip is tempered by Mariah Carey’s application to trademark “Queen of Christmas” being denied.

I’m still laughing about that.

While not a song, the best Christmas commercial is the old Eat’n Park one. If you’ve never seen it, check it out on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Cfb-ICf4yo&t=12s

I filled in “…is my two front teeth.”

Aaaaakkk! I hate when that happens!

Nothing is worse than the Muppets song, though!

Manah Manah Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo! ☺️☺️☺️☺️

… the Candy Man can …

Get back, Jo Jo ….

… that’s Amore!

Oh, the weather outside is frightful…

check out foghat version

Bing Crosby had You’re All I Want for Christmas. Vince Vance and the Valiants have All I Want for Christmas Is You. Mariah Carey has a completely different song, also titled All I Want for Christmas Is You, which for some reason has become most familiar one on the radio. (I prefer the Vince Vance version.) But my favorite by far among such songs, despite the grammatically questionable title, is Alan Jackson’s I Only Want You for Christmas.

Just as long as they don’t play the Christmas Shoes. :(

Heart worming …!

( ayyy? )

not as bad as "Last Christmas I gave you my heart… " sorry

“Jawas roasting on an open pyre,

Sand man picking at his nose,

Jedi tales, being sung by a choir,

And folks dressed up like 3-POs

Everybody knows black matte lines and that old blue fill

Help to make this film look right,

Tiny droids, LEDs all aglow

Will find it hard to sleep tonight,

They know that Obi-Wan is on his way,

He’s loaded Daddy’s old light sabre on his sleigh,

And every Stormtrooper is gonna spy,

To see if Jedi really know how to fly.

And so I’m offering this simple phrase,

To Han and Luke and Chewie, too.

Although it’s been said many times, many ways,

MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU

Earworm tip: If you can’t get a song out of your head, sing or listen to “God Save the Queen” a few times. Always works.

I thought of ♪is you.♪

God I hate that song,!
