The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
I knew of two sisters whose name it was Christmas And one was named Dawn of course, the other one was named Eve I wonder if they grew up hating the season Of the good will that lasts till the Feast of St. Stephen
For that is the time to eat, drink and be merry 'Til the beer is all spilled and the whiskey is flowed And the whole family tree you neglected to bury Are feeding their faces until they explode
There'll be laughter and tears over Tia Marias Mixed up with that drink made from girders And it's all we've got left as they draw their last breath And it's nice for the kids as you finally get rid of them In the St. Stephen's Day Murders
Uncle is garglin' a heart-breaking air While the babe in his arms pulls out all that remains of his hair And we're not drunk enough yet to dare criticize The great big kipper tie he's about to baptize
His gin-flavoured whispers and kisses of sherry His best crimble shirt slung out over the shop While the lights from the Christmas tree blow up the telly His face closes in like an old cold pork chop
And the carcass of the beast left over from the feast May still be found haunting the kitchen And there's life in it yet we may live to regret When the ones that we poisoned stop twitchin'
There'll be laughter and tears over Tia Marias Mixed up with that drink made from girders And it's all we've got left as they draw their last breath And it's nice for the kids as you finally get rid of them (rid of them!) In the St. Stephen's Day Murders
When Jack Frost came for Christmas With a brass monkey date The rail-king and the scarecrow Hopped a Florida freight And they blew on their paper cups And stared through the steam Then they drank half a bottle Of Ragpicker's Dream
Where the whiskey keeps following Cold pitchers of beer Me and my associate Like the clientele here get The onions and the 'taters Rib-eyes on the grill Toothpicks and luckies And a coffee refill
As the rail-king lay rocking He was leaving the ground Then he was flying like Santa Claus Over the town where He came to the window Of a house by a stream It was a family Christmas In the Ragpicker's Dream
There were kids at the table All aglow in the light Music in the wintertime Sure carries at night there Was turkey and gravy Pie and ice cream And gifts for each and everyone In the Ragpicker's Dream
Where the red-eye keeps tumbling In our glasses of beer Me and my associate Like the service in here there's A ten for your trouble You have beautiful hair Make the last one two doubles It's a cold one out there
Where the scarecrow and the rail-king Have started to dance But a nightstick and a billyclub Won't give peace a chance here I think they went thataways Your song and dance team Heading home for the holidays With the Ragpicker's Dream
On his knees like a fighter The rail-riding king Like a sack of potatoes Like a bull in the ring where The scarecrow falls over With a tear in the seam Home for the rover In the Ragpicker's Dream
Where the red-eye keeps tumbling Like tears in our beer Me and my associate Like the ambience here where They cornered two castaways In a white flashlight beam Merry Christmas and happy days In the Ragpicker's Dream

"O Holy Night" is one of those songs that is so perfect it almost feels like it is impossible for any human performer to do it justice.
And I've never found a version in which they did.
Me neither. Choir or bust.
Will listen. I just found this version, expected to hate it but I don't.
This is my favourite Christmas hymn too. The Susan Boyle is good but I've always had a preference for this version, short and sweet, see what you think..
and for the classical version, you can't get any better than Pavarotti

I remember I was in Miami when it happened. I was posting from the balcony of my apartment overlooking the beach. And I was having an argument with Adamdude.
