Feliz (Early) Navidad
I’ll be the first to admit that all that Christmas tunage does get old. I’m no Grinchetta, either, but this weekend alone, I heard “(There’s No Place Like) Home For The Holidays” by Karen Carpenter at the nail salon, the laundromat, AND the grocery store. Now, I love Karen’s voice as much as the next person, but the repetitiveness of it all prompted me to update my own tired holiday collection. I’m not saying you should get rid of Mariah, Christina, and Gloria, I’m just saying pop in something fresh, like the new Los Lonely Boys’ Christmas Spirit album, which was recorded by our Grammy-winning boys in Willie Nelson’s very own studio in Austin. It’s even got two new jingles. And for those of you who just can’t get enough of the classics, it’s got plenty of those, too. Now if only I could find someone to sip hot apple cider with as we watch Love Actually for the 400th time…
