Winter Solstice Cheer
Dear fellow tax hikers, tonight we will begin our celebration of the Winter Solstice. So that we may celebrate this joyous time together, we ask all you tax hikers to tell us your favorite Winter song!
"Walking in a Winter Wonderland" makes me think about what might have been, if Alex and I had been walking through a meadow and built a snowman instead of me sitting on his lap at a Bengals game
It's too bad I am the most bitter formerly elected official in the history of the Tri-State. Don't you understand for the past NINE YEARS I haven't had any time to enjoy Christmas music???? Or anything else for that matter??? No, I've got Colerain Township's financial records to pore over morning, noon, and night, hoping to find something, anything to screech about at the next Colerain Township Trustee meeting, and the one after that, and the one after that. You want me to stop, you better be ready to pry these public records out... of... my... cold... dead... hands.
I &^%W don't like any of these &*^@ Winter Solstice &*(^!_!# songs. Alex can go &*$@ himself and the entire GOP can go to *&@@. They all hate women, even though they've *(^@)!# endorsed me six ^&*@ times for *&)(@ political office. Now, I get to be a &*((# judge for the rest of my &*!_)@ life. (*&#(*$ you, Alex and all the *(%*_@! women-haters in the American Taliban known as the &)#(!! Republican Party.
No song or poem has ever before been composed which truly captures the essence of this season, the season my campaign expertise begins to be appreciated by one and all.
On a related note, Springdale had to cancel its Christmas because we couldn't find three wise men and a virgin. I offered Tom Weidman, Virgil Lovitt, and Jim Raussen, plus Jean Schmidt, but there weren't any takers. My daddy, of course, was already cast to play the role of God, of course.
I used to like "On Jordan's Bank" until I learned it had nothing to do with a place I could borrow money from for my latest business or arts endeavor that's sure to go belly-up.
I took all the Christmas songs, and everything else that wasn't nailed down, plus a few things which were, out of the Second Congressional District office. No way in heck that COASTer Brad Wenstrup is getting those back from me!!!
Jean baby, turn that frown upside down. Supporting your losing campaign was right up there as a highlight of my life, along with supporting Tom Weidman's losing campaign, Virgil Lovitt's losing campaign, and one or two other campaigns I've probably forgotten about.
Perhaps I should give up on politics and on office leasing, two things at which I've failed miserably, and go into festive music consulting for all occasions. Because, you know, I'm so cheerful. Big party at my house this New Years, just don't bring any evil Republican men with you.
I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas!

ReplyDeleteI like all of the Winter Solstice songs, as long as they're translated into Greek.
ReplyDeletePeople Look East is my favorite. Not hard to figure out why, is it?
ReplyDeleteO Come, O Come Emmanuel
ReplyDeleteWe will be singing "What Child Is This?" when that young Bill Blessing arrives in Columbus next year.

ReplyDeleteAny song from the "Christmas in the Park" CD.
ReplyDeleteIt's a toss up between "Do you hear what I hear" and "While shepards watch their flocks".
ReplyDeleteGo Tell it on the Mountain

We Three Kings always reminds us of our royal oversight of Blue Ash and our ability to demand tax hikes of the peasantry, I mean, our neighbors.
ReplyDeleteAny song that will help me get my totally non-political self elected to Madeira City Council.

ReplyDeleteWe apologize for our 2-day delay in approving one of these comments.
ReplyDeleteIt was the NRA's fault.
God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen... sort of the slogan of the 2012 campaign season, wasn't it?
ReplyDeleteRun to the Hills
ReplyDeleteI'll be home for Christmas
ReplyDeletein 2013, because I'm moving to DC
We're both old enough to remember when many of these songs were written in the original Latin.
ReplyDeleteBut we like to be hip with the times. Want to hear us sing a duet of "Baby It's Cold Outside?"
