And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And auld lang syne?
~ Robert Burns, Auld Lang Syne
The hills are alive with the sound of music with songs they have sung for a thousand years. The hills fill my heart with the sound of music. My heart wants to sing every song it hears.
~ The Sound of Music (1965)
Put on your yarmulke
Here comes Chanukah
So much funukah
To celebrate Chanukah
Chanukah is the festival of lights
Instead of one day of presents, we have eight crazy nights
~ Adam Sandler, The Chanuka Song

On Christmas Eve, many years ago I lay quietly in my bed. I did not rustle the sheets. I breathed slowly and silently. I was listening for a sound I was afraid I’d never hear. The ringing bells of Santa’s sleigh.

Could you spare some change for a phone call? It’s an emergency.
See, ok, see this guy like…
Robbed our bus…tickets…and um…”

I suppose it all started with the snow. You see, it was a very special kind of snow. A snow that made the happy happier, and the giddy even giddier. A snow that’d make a homecoming homier, and natural enemies, friends, natural. For it was the first snow of the season. And as any child can tell you, there’s a certain magic that comes with the very first snow, especially when it falls on the day before Christmas.
~ Frosty the Snowman (1969)
