It’s not Christmas in my world without “Christmas with Conniff.” Who can resist listening to Christmas Bride – a song you won’t hear anywhere else? I know a lot of people think I’m weird for the fondness I have for this album, but I grew up with it and it’s here to stay. It will be forever on my Christmas play list. My daughters even like it, sort of.
However, my favorite song is John Lennon’s Happy Xmas (War is Over). I can’t pinpoint why I like it, but it really ‘gets’ to me every time I hear it. I usually listen to it at least twice every time (sometimes more). I like the original and Jimmy Buffett’s version.
What’s your favorite Christmas carol?
A rant
Last night as I was driving home I passed two bicyclists with small headlights and taillights (each light was maybe 1” x 3”) and NO reflective clothing on. Both riders (they were not together, it was separate incidents) had on dark clothing. At least they did have helmets on.
It was dark and I barely saw the woman as she rode in the middle of the lane. I was turning left and almost pulled out in front of her because I didn’t see her. When I passed her she gave me a look like I had done something wrong. I wanted to stop and tell her to get some reflective items and a bigger light. It will probably save her life. Because no matter what, in bicycle versus car, the car will prevail (I won’t say win because no one wins if a cyclist gets hit).
And when I see someone with more than one light and several other reflective items on, I want to stop them and thank them for being so visible. I really don’t want to hit anyone!
So please, if you're riding your bike on a busy street when it's dark, wear LOTS of reflective gear and lights.
