When you were a kid, what did you want for Christmas?

Posted on December 23, 2008 by 1minionsopinion

I had this huge stegosaurus stuffed toy in mind. It was in the Sears Christmas Wish Book and oh did I drool over that thing. To this day, I have no idea where I would have put it if the … Continue reading →

Why is “Twelfth of Never” sung at Christmas?

Posted on December 22, 2008 by 1minionsopinion

I can’t figure out why it’s on a Christmas cassette I’ve had in my posession ever since I was a kid. Beautiful song, though. The cassette also had “The Bells of St. Mary’s” on it, which did make some sense, … Continue reading →

“Christmas music makes me gag!”

Posted on December 17, 2008 by 1minionsopinion

Posted on December 15, 2008 by 1minionsopinion

This is week three of my look at Christmas carols and what would Christmas be without Santa? So, how did Santa come to be? How many different versions of Santa belief are there? It all started with Saint Nick. Jolly … Continue reading →
