Merry Christmas All
We’ve posted this one before because we rather enjoy it. A nice beat yet relaxing. It sums up what we feel a Christmas celebration should be, a jolly, happy, yummy, fun and relaxing time of the year.
We wish you a wonderful one!

Felíz Navidad
Living just some 12 miles from the San Diego / Tijuana border, as we have for the past 30+ years, Mariachis are part of our culture. I adore living so close to Mexico. I love the people, the beauty and the culture. On a clear day we can see the mountains across the border and the Los Coronado Islands out off the Mexican coast, as well as the shimmering lights of Tijuana at night from our house.
Old Town San Diego, which was at one time the seat of the governor of this part of Mexico before this area became part of the United States, is a short half mile walk down the hill from our home. Old Town is one of the most visited state parks in California and is filled with Mexican food, culture and of corse Mariachis.
Therefore Fearsome has asked me to post this video to wish you a Merry Christmas filled with the rich culture of where we live and what we love.

In The Bleak Midwinter
Fearsome and I adore both the original BBC version of Ghosts as well as the American CBS version.
One of our favorite moments from both series is this one from BBC’s second season Christmas special. We find it very appropriate to welcome Winter Soltice 2024.
Happy Solstice.

Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer!
I cannot believe that I just wrote the above title nor can I believe that this is a song I would ever post, but Postmodern Jukebox somehow came to this tasteless song’s rescue. Sit back and enjoy an entertaining holiday Samba!

Step Into Christmas
Originally released on November 23, 1973, I do remember this song playing over my little transistor radio as well as on the AM radio in my mother’s 1967 Buick Electra 225. I loved it because it was fast, fun and about Christmas. Fast forward to this 2024 Christmas season and Elton himself has re-released it in this (somewhat) updated video. Enjoy!

The Christmas Song
Judy Garland’s famous Christmas special aired shortly before my entry onto this planet. As a child I adored the yearly Christmas specials and am sure I would have adored this one had I seen it, but then again if I had I’d be older than I already am. Thankfully I can watch it here on YouTube. Enjoy this clip, it’s truly a treasure.
