***A Christmas Gift For The OT*** (continuing TD's most beloved holiday tradition)

S T I C K Y **** R E Q U E S T E D

(but not expected)



No, not that tradition.

As everyone knows, since 2009 I have posted A Kafkaesque Christmas, a 4 CD collection of Christmas songs. Like Tevye, I believe in tradition.

But that's not all!



This year is a Very Special Christmas

Not only have I added not one, not two, but FOUR (4) new playlists, but I've also put all 8 (EIGHT) playlists on YouTube!!



There are actually a few anti-Christmas songs, so even Scrooges shouldn't complain; perhaps this will protect me from lawsuits filed by litigious atheists.

Also, the TD bureaucrats have forced me to divide this into 2 posts thanks to the 7.9K character limit red tape. We can only hope that someday President Trump will drain that swamp. [Political reference grandfathered in under old OT regulations]

And so, in gratitude for a year's worth of entertainment and diversion, we present A Kafkaesque Christmas.

And in the words of New Orleans' own Huey "Piano" Smith, "All I want for Christmas is a little bit of music..."
