Christmas is a bit wistful this year. We won’t get to visit our relatives and a lot of our friends. There isn’t much under the tree. I hope for coal in my stocking, so I can burn it. But Christmas is cheering me up this year. Isn’t that sorta the point?
The spirit of the thing expresses itself if you let it.
To all my relatives and friends, including all my Intertunnel friends who have been so generous with their attention and praise and who’ve purchased furniture from my little store, and you doughty Amazon shoppers who’ve used our links and helped us out, we wish you laughter and joy, along with the peace of mind that the contemplation of the sublime can supply. Merry Christmas, every one.
PS: This song is chosen especially for my friend Bird Dog, who loves Napoleon Dynamite.
Update: Regular reader and commenter Sam L. requested the lyrics. We aim to please. So you aim, too, please. Or something.
Fall is here, hear the yell
Back to school, ring the bell
Brand new shoes, walking blues
Climb the fence, book and pens
I can tell that we are gonna be friends
Walk with me, Suzy Lee
Through the park, by the tree
We will rest upon the ground
And look at all the bugs we’ve found
Then safely walk to school
Without a sound
Well here we are, no one else
We walked to school all by ourselves
There’s dirt on our uniforms
From chasing all the ants and worms
We clean up and now it’s time to learn
Numbers, letters, learn to spell
Nouns, and books, and show and tell
At playtime we will throw the ball
Back to class, through the hall
Teacher marks our height against the wall
And we don’t notice any time pass
We don’t notice anything
We sit side by side in every class
Teacher thinks that I sound funny
But she likes the way you sing
Tonight I’ll dream while I’m in bed
When silly thoughts go through my head
About the bugs and alphabet
And when I wake tomorrow I’ll bet
That you and I will walk together again
’cause I can tell that we
Are going to be friends

I love the pure joy that emanates from your music videos.
Merry Christmas!
I love the reindeer hat. It may be the awesomest winter hat I've ever seen.
Thanks for the song, and merry Christmas!
Those boys! The Heir has gotten so comfortable with the guitar and sings BEEE-YOU-tifully. And The Spare? I swear! He needs to be my son-in-law. Love that little gooberscnitzel.
Can the Heir do the song from the Fuzzy Peaches that was featured in Juno?
Fuzzy? D'oh! Moldy peaches: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFff-FekFWU More of a weird love song, but, dang it's catchy.
Always a pleasure to visit you and the family here.
Hi Benjamin- Thanks for reading and commenting. Merry Christmas.
If anyone tells Julie it's a lobster hat and makes her cry, I'll beat them up.
Ruth Anne- One of my oldest and dearest Intertunnel friends. I've never heard of that song. I'll ask. Merry Christmas to you and your lovely family. And he is a lovable goodershnitzel, it's true.
Hi Thud- Happy Chrimble to you and your beautiful family.
Here's wishing that everyone gets just a bit of the vibe that The Heir and The Spare are preaching.
From the other side of the country, Happy Chrimble to you and yours,. homie.

I liked the unintentional harmonies!
