The Vince Guaraldi "Charlie Brown Christmas" soundtrack -- I always break this one out early.

The new Liz Phair CD (the name escapes me) -- my wife heard the single on the local ClearChannelInfinity station, and had to have it.

Joni Mitchell's "Ladies of the Canyon." Last week it was "Blue."

A CD by the Donnas that the Not Bobette left in my car. It rawks.

If you need a book to find a mate you should voluntarily take yourself out of the gene pool.

The reason you want to do this is because (as I am sure you know from reading the FB), men always want to think they are with a hot chick. So if you look for a mate who is one looks category below your own (or 2 below if they have alot of money), you should be able to find one.

In your favor, you are approaching that age division at which a large number of now-married men will suddenly become single once again. There is a pronounced bump in the divorce rates right above your current age, having something to do with the average age at marriage compared to the average time to become dissatisfied, combined with the dread of the approaching decade marker. So, have patience. You will soon once again be inundated with guys.

Well, not quite. The wonderful former boy-mayor of Cleveland actually has a nice head of hair.

Sebby, direct this someplace else and learn to recognize a joke when you see it.

Edited to add, what I mean to say is, I do hope you're not suggesting that I am over 35 and unmarried. I mean, whoa, you're scaring me with the very idea!

Plus, even within the joke, I don't think paigow intends to breed, just to (find a) mate. and as a fellow spinster (per raouaouaouaoal), I also can certify that I am not planning to breed. Of course, I also would be utterly incapable of following the directions in that book, from my skim of the review pp posted.

Good point. However, whenever I picture him in my mind, he is bald. Go figure.

My first day of first grade, the teacher introduced herself to the class by saying "This is the First Grade - you're all big kids, now, you know there's no Santa, no Tooth Fairy, no Easter Bunny ..."

There were a lot of crying kids at recess that day.

Was that your first year of explaining the history to the masses?

I can see it now... BRC holding court on the jungle gym...

Does anyone know of a good place in the NY area. Preferably Long Island where I can buy decent furniture for a good price.

P.S. for those of you who are wondering Dealtoy is finally getting off the fence. And I feel pretty damn good about it.

As I have done the last several years about this time, I give you the lyrics of one of my favorite Generic Winter Gift-Giving Holiday songs. Enjoy.

The Christians and the Pagans
Dar Williams

Amber called her uncle, said "We're up here for the holiday,
Jane and I were having Solstice; now we need a place to stay."
And her Christ-loving uncle watched his wife hang Mary on a tree,
He watched his son hang candy canes all made with Red Dye No. 3.
He told his niece, "Its Christmas Eve, I know our life is not your style,"
She said, "Christmas is like Solstice, and we miss you and its been awhile."

So the Christians and the Pagans sat together at the table,
Finding faith and common ground the best that they were able,
And just before the meal was served, hands were held and prayers were said,
Sending hope for peace on earth to all their gods and goddesses.

The food was great, the tree plugged in, the meal had gone without a hitch,
Till Timmy turned to Amber and said, "Is it true that you're a wtich?"
His mom jumped up and said, "The pies are burning," and she hit the kitchen,
And it was Jane who spoke, she said, "It's true, your cousin's not a Christian,"
"But we love trees, we love the snow, the friends we have, the world we share,
And you find magic from your God, and we find magic everywhere,"

So the Christians and the Pagans sat together at the table,
Finding faith and common ground the best that they were able,
And where does magic come from? I think magic's in the learning,
'Cause now when Christians sit with Pagans only pumpkin pies are burning.

When Amber tried to do the dishes, her aunt said, "Really, no, don't bother."
Amber's uncle saw how Amber looked like Tim and like her father.
He thought about his brother, how they hadn't spoken in a year,
He thought he'd call him up and say, "It's Christmas, and your daughter's here."
He thought of fathers, sons and brothers, saw his own son tug his sleeve, saying,
"Can I be a Pagan?" Dad said, "We'll discuss it when they leave."

So the Christians and the Pagans sat together at the table,
Finding faith and common ground the best that they were able,
Lighting trees in darkness, learning new ways from the old, and
Making sense of history and drawing warmth out of the cold.

The "truth" about Santa, et al, like sex/safe sex, is one of those things that parents don't want to trust teachers to discuss with their children -- unfortunately, most of those parents never get around to handling the discussion themselves.

I still believe in Santa and as far as safe sex is concerned I have a child -- 'nuff said.
