My favorite Xmas song is "Granny Got Run Over by a Reindeer." Enoch Powell's favorite was "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas", for reasons which I trust the pious will not guess.

Those of you with roots in Steel, might remember "I'm Dreaming of a Farkleberry Christmas". Ah, the good old days!
Alexandr Oleksa, I will send you a box of Farkleberry Tarts just in time for Rozdestva! Do you observe New or Old Kalendar (Dec 25/Jan. 7)?  Ung

I know it's a silly song, but I always get a kick out of "I want a hippopotamus for Christmas." Same here ! -- John

I always thought it to be a mythical fruit that was loved about as much as the infamous fruitcake. So Farkleberries are real? U-C

Serious: Baby, It's Cold Outside For Fun: Mele Kalikimaka (It always makes me remember Chevy Chase from the National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation . . . ) -- John James Taylor and Natlie Cole's version is good. I want to hear the Brian Setzer and Ann Margaret version, I'm going to buy that CD.

The Setzer-Ann Margaret version is nice, if you like that song.

Why is My Favorite Things a "Christmas Song?" I've never seen The Sound of Music. Maybe because it was on the Barbara Streisand Christmas Album? How does ASimpleSinner know this? His mother has the classic all-Jewish Christmas album collection with Barry Manilow, Neil Diamond and Bab's Christmas offerings. These records - first as LPs then as CDs now as MP3s - are played annually in the homestead during the decorating day. 'Atsa my childhood! The irony of it is not lost on me. Most especially when hearing Neil's O Holy Night or Stresisand's Ave Maria. My offering? Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) by U2.

U-C Yep, I was under the impression that they were made up from the conversation that you and Alexandr were having, but it turns out they exist in the South. I think you are actually both right: 1) Its a real fruit, but 2) what's in those Farkelberry tarts, ain't farkelberries. At least that is what I am understanding from here: http://pittsburgh.about.com/b/2006/11/23/whatever-happened-to-the-farkleberry-cookie.htm
