Here’s Wishing You An Adequate Generic Christmas

Well, when Black Friday comes, I generally strike all the big red words from my little black book instead of going shopping. Any whiff of Christmas before Thanksgiving gets my back up. It gives me restless leg syndrome. Not the kind they advertise on late-night TV, either. The kind where my leg gets restless to, as James Joyce so ably puts it, put a fong in your arse at the cash register. I’m trying to buy a single 1-1/2″ plastic pipe coupling at the Aubuchon, and everyone in front of me is buying four fake Christmas trees and paying  with a check on an out-of-state bank. In October.

But now it’s December. Surely I can put aside my peeves and petulance and get with the program. Jolly up. Top it off with Christmas Cheer. Remind myself that the lumps of coal Santa brings for guys like me have a lot of BTUs in them, and last a good while in the stove. It’s a win/win season for me, even if I do assault a few people in a checkout line.

There’s no better way to swing into the true spirit of Christmas than with Unorganized Hancock. They wrote and recorded this original Christmas song last year, and called it the Generic Christmas Song, and like I told them, they only work once, but they can cash the checks forevermore. Christmas songs have no sell-by date.

Little known fact: The Ghost of Jacob Marley is actually Irving Berlin, returning from the grave to tell the RIAA to haunt you for listening to White Christmas without a permit. But my boys wrote this little ditty, so no one can sue us, except maybe for emotional distress or something else that doesn’t show up on an X-ray very well.

The wonder of Generic Christmas Song is that it’s the only recording by Unorganized Hancock that you can purchase and download for your MP3 player, or your iPod, or whatever those things with the fruit on them are called. Just 0.99, and all the proceeds go to a good cause: Us.  You can pay more if you like, or you can listen to it for free on YouTube if you’re broke losers like we are. It’s all good.

Merry Christmas! Tell a friend.
