Before we get to this week’s political potshots, I will ask again for any contributions to this year’s list of favorite rocking or rolling Christmas/seasonal songs, even if obscure. Unlike last year, they have been rather slow in arriving, probably because most of you sent your faves last year and haven’t yet come up with a runner-up or two. But first you might want to consult my original list and then your contributions last year—and then add your own, to be published here next week! Via Comments or any other way.
Just to get you started: While I did highlight Glen Hansard and gang doing “Fairytale of New York” at Shane’s funeral last year, I thought I’d offer the original Pogues version and video here. Then on to the cartoons, some of them also seasonal….
Plus, Dana Carvey with his impression of Neil Young singing “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town.”
The thin ice of a new day...

Two Silent Nights for your listening pleasure. You might say "from the ridiculous to the sublime." ;-)
