That doesn’t diminish my feeling for him. Teeth are so visible and nearly impossible to hide. I also remember ages ago reading his drug issues started with drinking as a very young child due to his family’s involvement. So, regardless of the origin of the problem, my heart still goes out to him over that story of losing a tooth while performing.

Not to be a party pooper - I love Christmas music (mostly traditional, some more modern stuff) - but we have barely finished Halloween.
Why isn’t there a whole genre of Thanksgiving music?

For a single mother working on a very limited budget, Lindt definitely weren’t on the menu. Left over bars bought for trick or treaters were.

Agree, that why I asked. I was being facetious - guess I should have used a tongue-in-cheek emoji. 
I spend much of Thanksgiving weekend listening to college marching bands play fight songs during football games.

Can we all take a moment to realize how absurd “12 days of Christmas” is? Your true love gave you an exorbitant number of birds. Who needs that many!?

If you have to entertain the landed gentry or royalty, you need all the birds you can get to feed them and the hangers-on.

Is the Ave Verum in that? Our children’s choir used to sing the Ave Verum at Mass. When my son would come home from college and they would ask him to sing with the choir, his response, “As long as you are singing the Ave Verum; I don’t want to sing any of that cheerful stuff.”

You are my people. Robert Earl Keen’s “Merry Christmas from the Family” and The Pogue’s “Fairytale of New York” are my favorite Christmas songs.

And as to your earlier point about Hallelujah, I still love it but it got overplayed for me.
