The one I'd really like to hear is the XTC Christmas song, Thanks for Christmas.
Let's get right to it.

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, Pretenders (or Chrissie)

I like the bittersweet vibe of this version a lot.  For those of you who haven't heard the story, the song was originally somewhat of a downer!

Backatcha, Geoff. I just saw the Reese Witherspoon movie Wild and thought of you -- you'll know why when you see it.
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

That's one of the movies I hope to see over the holidays (the others being The Imitation Game and Big Eyes, and we'll see about the Interview -- it's supposed to be opening tomorrow at a couple theaters in Portland, but it's down my list a bit, kerfuffle or no).

Btw, I saw Foxcatcher last weekend while I was up in Seattle and really enjoyed it. Steve Carell is all but unrecognizable, and very un-Carell-like. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)
