I'm not in a holiday mood.
In fact, my sentiments coincide with those of Scrooge:
"Every idiot who goes about with a 'Merry Christmas' on his lips, should be boiled with his own pudding, and buried with a stake of holly through his heart."
People are forcing themselves to comply with fake holiday cheer and indulge in worthless seasonal rituals that empty pockets and sap energy.
I've dug into dusty music files and extracted a couple of my piano videos in order to evoke a smidgen of holiday enthusiasm.
My uncanny blogger intuition tells me that nobody likes my piano videos.
Well, tough crap.
I'm damn good.
Or at the very least, possibly reasonably good.
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

Sorry you have been feeling so miserable lately. I hope 2022 is a better year. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope it will be a better year for all of us, Rita. You've been going through so much - sometimes it's difficult to keep our heads above water. Take care - hugs to you...and Annie.
DeleteYes, you ARE good. But I can't decide! LOVE seeing the feral reindeer (is that even a thing?), but Merry Little Christmas always puts me in a good mood. Thanks for sharing these.
ReplyDeleteHeck, I wasn't even sure if they were reindeer. I'm a sissy city slicker at heart. But I really do like those clips in the video.
DeleteMany thanks for your vote of confidence. I need it.
I always like your videos mister and Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas is one of my favorite Christmas songs.
ReplyDeleteI just saw your next post....On this post and the last I had a terrible time commenting. So today I came back and tried again and voila! I tried three times each, on each post and kept getting that error message. This happens with me on sveral blogs. Blogger has been getting me so frustrated I'm about ready to hang it up.
Beautiful rendition!
ReplyDeleteYes, I blame Elf on the Shelf, personally - (only kidding). Blogger is going nuts I believe!
YES, you are good, Jon, and not only do you know that but so do many of us who regularly enjoy the selections you include. We could all use a merry little Christmas right about now, s thanks for this tune. I have not noticed any problems in commenting on blog posts this week, but unfortunately still getting spam comments from that most annoying Ratana and immediately deleting those. Even though you are not in the holiday mood you have put me more into one. Grenville and myself send you best wishes for a better new year (for all).
ReplyDeleteJon, I just published your newest comment to my blog post - just wanted you to know that it did not disappear.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I just loved your "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" video that I just shared it to my FB page. :)
I love Scrooge.
