Ten more depressing Christmas songs
December 16th, 2008 by Wade Tatangelo in Top-10
Here’s a continuation of my “Top 10: Depressing Christmas Songs.” Because, truth be told, I still ain’t feeling too damn cheery this time of year. But, y’know, happy holidays!
1. “Christmas Card From a Hooker in Minneapolis,” Tom Waits
Killer line: “I’ll be eligible for parole come Valentine’s Day.”
2. “Blue Christmas,” Elvis Presley
Killer line: “Youll be doin all right, with your Christmas of white, but I’ll have a blue, blue blue blue Christmas.”
3. “Christmas in Washington,” Steve Earle
Killer line: “If you run into Jesus, maybe he can help you out.”
4. “A Long December,” Counting Crows
Killer line: “I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower.”
5. “Same Old Lang Syne,” Dan Fogelberg
Killer line: “She gave a kiss to me as I got out, and I watched her drive away.”
6. “Please, Daddy (Don’t Get Drunk This Christmas),” John Denver
Killer line: “Then you laughed and hollered, ‘Merry Christmas;’ I turned around and saw my Mumma’s tears.”
7. “December Baby,” Ingrid Michaelson
Killer line: “I wore the dress I thought you loved, but my boots are filling with snow you shoved.”
8. “December Skies,” Cowboy Junkies
Killer line: “Time to kill our children, and sing about it.”
9. “Santa’s Beard,” They Might Be Giants
Killer line: “I don’t like that fat guy around.”
10. “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home),” U2
Killer line: “They’re singin’ ‘Deck the Halls,’ but it’s not like Christmas at all.”

Good work, thanks! My sister received the Mbt shoes I bought her for her birthday, she adores them. I was a little worried the calf would be tight around her legs but it hasn’t been a problem. I’ll be back before Christmas.

Hey, i am very happy today, I received my Mbt shoes just now, very impressed. They are like sort of a massive slipper, soft, easy to wear and light.

There is nothing that touches these for just lazing around at home. Bar sleeping I don’t take mine off now that its getting colder, they are not quite as stiff as they were when they first arrived but still extremely comfortable. It would be nice if they had a little more arch support but other than that I’m very pleased. I am finding a nice mbt shoes!
