12 days of Christmas - DAY 6

Happy New Year, my true loves. Welcome to the 6th day of Christmas, New Years Eve, or as my father-in-law, God rest his soul, used to say, The anniversary of Baby Jesus' Briss. (It's true, Jews must circumcise their male Children in 6 days.) So what more fitting gift than the freshest Goose Eggs ever... Straight from the... whatever eggs come out of a goose from, of 6 Geese a Laying. Enjoy your omelettes, souffles, and custards for a whole year! I even built you a Goose Coop. Which reminds me of a Beach Boys Song, (Little Goose Coop?)

Speaking of songs, do you know what the number 7 favorite Christmas song of all time is? I'll tell ya. It's the legendary 12 PAINS of Christmas by Bobby Rivers. This was a landmarks song for several reasons. A) It accurately expresses the angst of the holiday season without depressing everyone around. 2) It established that you COULD vary the repetitions of the 12 days when spoofing this song. And D) It's very quotable, and has lent its catch phrases to the traditions of Christmas. What would a holiday season be without at least one person shouting, "One light goes out, they all go out!" or "She's a witch I hate her."

Not as depressing as the number 7 lump of coal in the stocking, "Blue Christmas." Yep. Our survey shows that we tend to dislike the songs about being alone on Christmas without our loved ones or friends. Plus... I CAN'T STAND the backing vocals. "ooOOOooOOoooo." Annoying.

Happy New Year, I'll have some beautiful swans for you to celebrate the new year with.
