Christmas

Well, the missus and I went to Walmart today and bought a crap load of Christmas decorations. We thought that while April could still move we should be proactive and start planning for Christmas especially since thanksgiving is so late this year.

So, we are set on our decorations but one important detail is missing. Both April's mom and my mom played christmas music from thanksgiving through new years. It isn't the fact that music was played it was more of the type of music played that makes our quandry so difficult. You see, April's mom plays Kenny G's Christmas album so much that it has started to sound scratchy, CDs only hold their integrity for the first 1 million playings and my mom to a lesser degree played Mariah Carey's Christmas album non stop. And if I hear "All I Want for Chirstmas is You," one more time I may vomit.

So what we are looking for is a good reccomendation for Christmas music... I have my I-tunes giftcard handy (which I ripped off from the nugget don't ask) and I am just looking for suggestions and "I won't be home for Christmas" by Blink 182 doesn't count so let us know, what is your favorite Christmas music because if I don't get a good suggestion I'll just have to go with the Nutcracker or Steamheim Manroller... wait... is that it eh who cares?

Also... if anyone suggests the Gloria Estefan Christmas Album I also have to say that although Gloria Estefan and to a larger part the Miami Sound Machine are excellent it comes in a distant third, to the afforementioned opuses. I think I'd rather play the loveshack over and over... than listen to that.
