Wall is oval, if you want it

Just finished a crazy-fun day of shopping for Amos' first Christmas! He also sat in a highchair at a diner and had his third meal ever of rice cereal. My wee man is growing up. *sniff*

Someone reminded me of great Christmas songs. Here are two of my favorites.




I like to sprinkle a little John Lennon in my coffee. Perhaps "Happy Christmas (War Is Over)", especially great with the wacky Yoko part:


"A Melly melly Chlistmas! And a happy New Yeal! Ret's hope it's a good one, without any feel.
(Wall is oval, if you want it. Wall is oval now.)"










Other than that, "A Fairytale of New York" is a happy, go-lucky tale of old sluts on junk and scumbags and maggots. Ah, Christmas...








13 beautiful people muttered something back:

You never fail to crack me up, Girl!

Phil "Is Also A Bit Oval" said...

The two best opening lines of Christmas songs have to be, "It was Christmas Eve, babe, in the drunk tank" and "Mom got drunk and Dad got drunk at our Christmas party" (from Robert Earl Keen's "Merry Christmas From the Family").

And yes, although the under-Christmas tree area was getting a bit full with Amos' presents, we managed to find a few more items and squeeze them in there.

Melly Christmas to all!

Fairtale Of New York is the greatest Christmas song ever made.

My other favourites are I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday - Wizzard and Merry Xmas Everybody - Slade. I'm sure they are both on youtube if you haven't heard them.

Amanda said...

That's it. I'm spending next Christmas with you!

Karen MEG said...

Great songs... I never really knew what Yoko was saying, thanks for the translation :). And Fairytale , another amazing classic. You slay me!!!

Sarcastic Mom said...

Go, Amos, go!

Merry Christmas, my beloved Porters.

Hydes Like Us said...

Magpie said...

Perfect title.

Nothing puts me in the Christmas spirit more than Fairytale of New York. "You're a bum, you're a drunk. You're an old slut on junk." It just doesn't get any merrier than that.

Mrs. Fussy Fussypants - Yay! I strive to retrieve chuckles from the masses.


Phil "Wall! What it is good foal?" - Agreed. The best Christmas songs are the crazy ones. Christmas has a whole new, fun aroma to it now that Amos is here.


Stephen - I'm glad that you appreciate The Pogues!

imaginary binky said...

Amanda - Casa de Porter is open next season, when and if you need it.


Karen MEG - Yay! I hope I didn't offend anyone with my crazy Yoko interpretation.


Lotus - And a Merry (post) Christmas to you!

imaginary binky said...

HH - And a HA! right back atcha!


Magpie - Well, thank ya!


Wendy - Indeed, sluts and punks make for a very festival holiday.

Eve said...

Don't take this wrong - I didn't listen to your Christmas music. Just don't think I can handle Yoko and the oval wall. Don't make me ROFL - I've fallen and I can't get up!
