Hello folks -

Wishing you and yours a wonderful Holiday Season. You folks on the east coast are probably digging yourselves out of your homes this weekend due to all the snow. I have some semi-fond memories of doing that when I lived in Baltimore and Washington, DC for a good part of my life. I don't envy your sore backs but the bright side is when you hear Bing Crosby sing "White Christmas" this year there will likely be plenty of "White" in your "Christmas" as you drive to see friends and relatives!

The Holiday songs are just different here in California. "Dashing Through The Snow" just doesn't carry any real weight here. But I heard the Beach Boys singing "Little Saint Nick" with it's "run, run, reindeer" just this morning and that, my friends, is pure California. Gotta love the Beach Boys.
