Thing the first: I just looked out my back window and was surprised to see red Christmas balls hanging from the tree. Until I realized that they were really apples that we never got around to picking.
Thing the second: I have never been able to figure out why "My Favorite Things" is a Christmas song. What do raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens have to do with yuletide? I'm also always confused by 3 ships sailing into Bethlehem on Christmas day in the morning.
To sum up: Not all that glitters is gold, and sometimes red is really just a rotten apple. And as much as we all love Julie Andrews we think the Von Trapp children are even more annoying than the Osmonds.

I am completely confunded by the same thing. Why in the world is "My Favorite Things" played as a Christmas song!!!
According to Wikipedia:
"The wintertime imagery of some of the lyrics has made "My Favorite Things" a popular song during the Christmas season, and it often appears on holiday-themed albums and compilations, although in the show and movie it is sung during a summer thunderstorm."
I don't buy it as a Christmas song—even when they lay a track of Jingle-bells on top.
Oh I totally agree.
A Christmas song it is not. I so agree!
I am so with you Tyler has to sit through my rant about "My Favortie Things" being a Christmas song in fact that is one of my pet peeves at Christmas. I can stand in line and weave through crowds of people as long and be fine as they don't play that song.
As long as I don't have to listen to "Christmas Shoes" or "Where are you Christmas?" I don't care what someone's favorite things are.
And I disagree. I still think the Osmonds are more irritating than the Von Trapp children.
Also, what's with "Over the Rainbow" as a Christmas song. I agree that the worst ones are "Christmas Shoes" and "Where are you Christmas" but I must add one that ruins Pacabell's Cannon in D.
Ak, ak!!! Christmas Shoes. Definitely one of the all time worst Christmas song ever! I've shunned it for so many years I had almost successfully blocked it from my memory entirely.
@Andria-can we say the Osmonds and the Von Trapp children tie for most annoying? It is a pretty close race at any rate.
