New Songs To Help You Get In The Holiday Spirit

Yes, that is a gorilla on the top of my tree. Deal with it.

Now that Thanksgiving has come and gone without incident, it's officially the real holiday season. Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Pearl Harbor Day, Boxing Day, New Years Day, Islamic New Year, AIDS Awareness Day, National Fritters Day, Wear Brown Shoes Day, National Cotton Candy Day, National Brownie Day, Human Rights Day, Poinsettia Day, Ice Cream Day, Violin Day, National Lemon Cupcake Day, National Chocolate Covered Anything Day, National Maple Syrup Day, Oatmeal Muffin Day, Humbug Day, National Eggnog Day, and National Fruitcake Day...just to name a few.

I love the holiday season mostly because everyone else is in such a good mood. You can get away with a lot more stuff when people are naturally a little happier. I can get in at least 3 to 4 obnoxious comments before people finally tell me to shut the hell up, which is about 50% extra leeway. For me, that's huge. One thing I don't like though, is Christmas music. Well, let me amend that, I don't like it for more than a total of 5 hours over the course of the entire month of December. I also make an exception for the Trans-Siberian Orchestra because that's just badass. Thankfully, there are some good alternatives to your standard xmas music, such as Fuck You If You Don't Like Christmas.

We aren't the only ones with excellent lesser known songs though. Hanukkah has always had a inferiority complex because of their severe lack of music. Adam Sandler did his best to alleviate that with The Hanukkah song, but the novelty has long since worn off. Thankfully a new song, Hanukkah Rap,  has popped up for all my Jewish friends. Did you know there are black Jewish people? Yeah, I didn't either. I here to entertain, but I'm here to teach too.

And just for good measure, in honor of AIDS Awareness Day yesterday...


Thanks to the Steve Dahl Show for reminding me of that one.
