Have A Wonderfully Bizarre Christmas
By WGMU Music Director Lars Garvey Laing-Peterson.
It is almost upon us, somehow. It feels like only yesterday we were carving pumpkins, and it really was almost yesterday that we were eating turkey and stuffing, contemplating our Black Friday buys, looking towards the final few days of 2008.
Everyone has their favorite Christmas songs, so I shall not attempt to supplant them with anything here. Instead, I present you with some more eccentric Christmas jams to help celebrate one of the most hectic, expensive, and stressful times of the year.
