Anyhow, It's officially Christmas for me when I start having the uncontrollable urge to play Snatcher, Chrono Trigger, and Final Fantasy VI (III for you guys in Japan) along with Christmas episodes of TV shows, Anime, movies etc...

I don't celebrate Christmas so I just do my best to ignore/avoid as much of it as I can. I'd rather not support it if possible.

If this is what you mean, it's Wings...not The Beatles.

THANK YOU!!!!

Now I know. :lol:

I just heard Paul and thought it was the Beatles. On a second note that video is fucking hilarious. He obviously knows how to get down. 8)

Yeah that is the best Christmas song. But the Beach Boys one is awesome too. Little Saint Nick I think it's called. It's in the Coca-Cola polar bear commercial.

well you can singDradle, dradle, dradle how I let you spin" Stole it from The Critic.
This is the only Chanukah I know.
Dreidle, DREIDLE.

I'm Catholic raised (Agnostic from a personal standpoint) but seeing the DRADLE misspelling always seems tick me off somehow.
Dradle spelled that way is slang. Thats the reason I used it. In the the show The Critic They do a spoof of Arnold playing a undercover rabbi and he sings a musical number. That is the song he sings being not jewish of course he would spell it wrong. That is suppose to be the humor of it.

I gotcha.

I'm not angry or anything, that word and it's spelling has just always been a pet peeve for me.

Indeed. I worked at K-Mart several years ago, in the sporting goods section. This meant I was right next to the seasonal section where the fake trees, lights, and effing musical lights went. Since the age of maybe 5, I've hated Christmas music because its the same 10 songs over and over. Heck and when I was little, Christmas creep didn't happen like it does now. So anyway, on top of the Christmas muzak coming out of the ceiling I got to listen to for a month while at this job, I got to listen to the cacophony of about 5 sets of musical light sets that usually only played about 5 songs each. Then one year there was this horrible Disney musical light set. It had about 8 character heads on the string, and each character made a note in its character voice. So Mickey made a C, Donald an A, Goofy a D, etc. All the rest of the cacophony was bad enough but holy shit that thing was intolerable for more than 5 seconds. It became a game of sneaking over and unplugging that set without being obvious in the camera that watched the register/hunting rifles and not being seen by a roaming manager. Inevitably within the hour or two a manager would notice and plug them back in again though.

That destroyed any remaining tolerance I had for Christmas music.
