I calculated using Google Maps that I've been walking about five miles a day for the last three days. No wonder my feet hurt. (Though the hotel jacuzzi helps.)

Also, of course today we got a CD of colonial carols, since I posted that theme yesterday.

But today is the feast of St. Nicholas, so have some Christmas music about Santa instead:

Barenaked Ladies - Elf's Lament.mp3
In which Santa is a slave driver.
They Might Be Giants - Santa's Beard.mp3
In which Santa is a homewrecker and a skeeve.
Stan Freberg - Nuttin' For Christmas.mp3
In which Santa is a thief who has been nothing but bad.
(This is the only proper cover of this song, btw. There's another one out there that's missing all the bits that make the song awesome.)
Weird Al Yankovic - The Night Santa Went Crazy.mp3
In which Santa goes bugnuts insane and kills a whole bunch of people.

Enjoy!

I love you for including Weird Al. When I was a radio DJ back in the day I would play that song every holiday season. Ahhh... Such wonderful memories- how the hell did I not get kicked off?

Some of Weird Al's stuff annoys me, but his Christmas carols are gold!

Wandered through fandom_wank's friend's list and saw your Christmas music posts and went SQUEE and promptly took some of them. Thank ya much and I plan on keeping an eye out for more of them.

Also, do you need a copy of The Royal Guardmen's Snoopy and the Red Baron - the Christmas one? I have it that I could send you.

I'm glad people are enjoying this! I'm planning to attempt a post every day of Advent (and possibly 'til Twelfth Night, if I can), so feel free to friend me if you want to follow along.

And I was actually saving that song to post tonight! I adore it greatly. But thanks for the offer.
