I am pleased to know that you and I remember things the same way, despite the age difference. Eight years can be a big gap between siblings but not when it comes to Fred Waring, Christmas lights at 1:30 AM, and Yukon Cornelius. I am also glad you dig Mele Kelikimaka - I think I may have sent that tape to you in Hawaii but you were probably deeply immeresed in it through local sources anyway. <br /><br />PS - "Ray Conniff's Christmas Album - Here We Come a' Caroling" is available for digital download on iTunes for the bargain price of $9.95.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7936855.post-1102516223489064892004-12-08T09:30:00.000-05:002004-12-08T09:30:00.000-05:00You are amazingly non-cynical on this issue, and I...You are amazingly non-cynical on this issue, and I admire you for it.

We must not get so "busy" that we forget this more secular part of Christmas is very important to kids. Our kids will not be well served by our laziness and cynicism!<br /><br />As for Tegan's seeming lack of interest in our favorite Christmas shows, blame it on VCRs and being able to gorge on those same shows at will. I remember 4 channels. I remember the NBC peacock and the special music announcing a special program. I remember making those shows an event because that was it! If you missed it, better luck next year, chump! If we treat those shows as special and put the videos of them away until Christmas (or don't buy them at all, making the watching of them on TV the family ritual that they were meant to be),they will love them just as we did.luluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02078248950005444423noreply@blogger.com
