Your Daily Dose of Christmas!
I know I’ve used this for the Daily Dose before, but…well, this is one of the staples for me. Dan Fogelberg’s “Same Old Lang Syne” is only tangentially about Christmas, I suppose — just the song’s setting, on Christmas Eve, … Continue reading
You will RUE THE DAY!!! (Rue the day? Who talks like that?!)
