Green Eggs and Ham: The Not-So-Secular Xmas Special!

The title says it all. 2 hours of sugarplum-laden chestnuts smothered in egg nog and candy canes. Ok, so it was mostly songs about Santa and Jesus. Since I don't actually believe in either of those people, I find other reasons to make it the season to be merry. Fa-la-la-la-la la-la-la-here's the playlist:


Tom Waits - "Christmas Card From Hooker In Minneapolis"
