Merry Christmas!

by PPP on Dec 25, 2009 1:06 PM EST

Snoopy v. The Red Baron is my favourite Christmas song and it never gets played as often as it should be. I blame the Trans-Siberian Orchestra and Josh Groban. I hope everyone's enjoying their time with friends, family, and delicious food and taking a break from the crushing reality of being Leafs fans. Consider this your Christmas open thread if you stumble onto the site looking for something to get away from said family. Presents, funny stories, favourite Christmas songs, whatever you want. That's my present to you.

I got some socks, a book, and my first piece of luggage that isn’t a duffel bag.

I bought my brother (21) the plug and play Big Buck Hunter game. Pretty sweet.

Merry Christmas everyone!!!!

Now I must leave you all to eat a ludicrous amount of food and drink a copious amount of alcohol – the true ‘spirit’ of Christmas!

Everyone have a happy (and safe) Christmas and see everyone back here boxing day for the WJH game and the Leaf/Habs game right after!

one of my favorite (but very sad) songs

“If We Make it through December” by Merle Haggard. I tear up every single time I hear it, partially because it’s so sad, partially because it’s so simple and beautiful

As she passed this over to me, my mum said ’Now…I think this is the team you like…but there were lots in the shop, so I had to ask someone…."

I <3 my mum!

Also, Christmas music from oh, ages ago.

Oh, and this is my current favourite Christmas tune. So very cheesy. So very bouncy. I laugh every time I hear the line “don’t bump your little noggin’”.
