Here's how I'm enjoying the holidays so far

Instead of...
1. Holiday lights that make your house look like a tasteful strip mall
2. Original holiday pop tunes
3. Overconsumption
4. Christmas specials that are really just poorly disguised network promos
5. Holiday dieting
6. Crowded malls
7. Family craziness
8. Office party drunkenness
9. Holiday stress
10. Forcing oneself into last year's LBD

Try...
1. Fun holiday light displays
2. Funky carols*
3. Charitable gifts
4. Charlie Brown Christmas special
5. Cookies, brownies and hot chocolate
6. Online shopping
7. Holiday getaway
8. Secret spa appointment
9. Prayer and medication I mean meditation
10. Pie. Lots and lots of pie.



* - I recommend "We Three Kings" by Barenaked Ladies and "Angels We Have Heard on High" by Reliant K.

My favorite non-traditional Christmas song is "Christmas Wrapping" by The Waitresses. :)

Where can I get the "We Three Kings" song from Barenaked Ladies (not the "God Rest Ye/We Three Kings" duet with Sarah McLachlan)?

You're right - it's the God Rest Ye/3 Kings version. My bad.

Is that you, Phoebe?
