Baby, it’s cold outside
Perhaps last night was not the finest night to sleep with my bedroom window open. I woke up in the middle of a really good dream conversation between Oscar Wilde and Hugh Laurie — whom I have loved since I was seven and was my second-ever celebrity crush after Peter Tork — to the rumblings and thunderings of an especially noisome storm. This is my sort of weather, made even more so by the fact that I didn’t have to do anything but lie there and watch the wind catch sail and blow my canopy curtains about my bed. However, the weather did not prove as delightful to experience this morning when I tried to start my car and it would not let me get out of park without several big flashy lights announcing it was:
a) very cold
b) raining
c) not a very pleasant day and wouldn’t I just have more fun staying at home listening to Fairytale of New York over and over again and wishing I was Kirsty McColl but, you know, not dead.
Is it wrong that this is my favorite Christmas song ever?

This confirms it -- you have great taste! And I guess now I have to admit to loving a christmas song... I'd forgotten how much I loved this. My ipod and I thank you!

Not only is that my very favorite Christmas song, but my boyfriend and I consider it "our song". How freakin' romantic is that?

You are not alone in your love for that song! It's been my favorite for years. Although seeing video of it for the first time reminds me why the Pogues always creeped me out. For god's sake man, what happened to your teeth!?

Yeah, so it snowed in Dallas yesterday. It was 73 degrees here.
