Edito de Holiday HamIt?s holiday season again, and if you?re like me, that first candy cane of the season tastes better than just about anything, and the first holiday song you hear in the drugstore fills your mind with a happy, nostalgic feeling.... A couple weeks later, the candy canes don?t taste so good any more, and when you hear Alvin and the Chipmunks sing that hula hoop song, you want to run in front of a moving truck.
The enclosed CD, Holiday Ham, is a fresh approach to holiday music and the holiday season in general. There are enough songs out there about snuggling your lover by the fireplace, in fact, these songs tend to make the single person quite sad during the holidays.
Holiday Ham deals with holiday themes not often dealt with in holiday music:
â?¢A man makes a fool out of himself at the company Christmas party and now his wife won?t talk to him. (?Bad Nog?)
â?¢Kids who come to expect their mother to have certain snacks on hand for the holidays, and the confusion that arises when she forgets. (?Kids Need Snacks?)
â?¢A man loses his job a week before Christmas and has to go to Mexico to rob a supermarcado to afford to buy a broach in the shape of a moose for his wife. (?No Chaps for Tito?)
â?¢A bully who lives to throw snowballs at little happy children (?Snow Bully?)
â?¢A song from Santa?s perspective about how Christmas Eve is a real ball-breaker (?Cold Rig?)
â?¢A man with self-esteem issues asks Santa for self-confidence for Christmas... and gets it!(?A Confident Christmas?)
