Robert Earl Keen‘s Merry Christmas from the Family. While this bears little resemblence to the Christmas’s I’ve known, it brings me nearly to tears every year during this season. I mean this is what getting together with family is all about. Bloody Marys ’cause we all want one!
My nomination for worst: National Republican Senatorial Committee’s version of the 12 Days of Christmas. I thought it was a spoof.
Update: Jill Sobule’s cover of Merry Christmas from the Family, which Graham promises he’ll play tomorrow (12/22) on his radio show, The Brit Mix.

man that’s good stuff, I had heard the song on the XM country music site but had not seen the video-thanks!
I actually hadn’t seen the video until this year. (The song has been around awhile.) But it’s one of those songs where the mental picture it created beat anything a video could provide. Not that the video isn’t well done.
Hallelujah everybody say cheese!! never seen the video, but Chris played me Gringo Honeymoon while the storm was blasting this weekend. Always makes me smile. Thanks Mr. Hollow! And I am totally stealing this idea for a post 😉
Only last week I heard the Jill Sobule version of this for the first time on a CD called You Sleigh Me – and thought it was just wonderful. It’s a great song. Also on the CD is 25th December by Everything But the Girl – which must be one of th best Christmas songs ever – I’ll be playing it on my radio show on Saturday (22nd): TheBritMix.org.
Hey…I want one of those light up Elvis! Still LOL! Interesting calendar!
