I just sent myself 200mb of Christmas mp3s by Megaupload (mostly because I couldn't stand being without "The Red Baron's Christmas" on my main computer any longer) so, according to custom, here's the download link if you'd like to see what's in there: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=F6R50S18

(And yes, I promise this is the right archive this time!)

(Also, do you like my new seasonal icons? I like them very much.

Especially because the Grinch is not green!!!!!)

I vote YAY for your icon!

YAY! for very silly memes that won't die!

Nice icon. (Although I don't actually have a problem with a green grinch, really. As long as it's not Jim Carey. :P )

The grinch is not green. >:( Oh, alright, I could go with a kind of grayish-green like old lichen, but if he was Bright!Muppet!Green they'd have made him green on the cover!

The cartoon people may have assumed, right or wrong, that they were "fixing" the Grinch, since (if I remember) there wasn't much in the way of color in the original illustrations (nice and non-distracting for the reader, maybe not so good for a meant-to-be-distracting holiday special).

Or maybe they were just trying to get some sympathy for him; it's not easy being green. :B

The inside pages are in tones of red, white, and black, but the cover is printed in red, white, black, and green, so I reiterate: If he was supposed to be green they'd have made him green on the cover!

I can forgive the cartoon people because yeah, they needed to add a lot of color, and they were working with a limited pallette. But so many people these days just assume he's green! As if they've never even seen the book!
