I have not posted a HEY MOM post since Thanksgiving and SoD (Sense of Doubt) #1745.
Merry Christmas to everyone unless Christmas is not your thing and than happy tidings for whatever holiday of the twenty-nine holidays from the seven major religions that you celebrate, as in:
I do not have much extra to say here, so mainly this post will be about a few remarks of preface and then last year's content. I was rather proud of last year's content, so I am happy to present it again.
Mainly, I send love to everyone I know and all those I do not know.
I am writing this post on Christmas Day, a few days after the date of this one's publication, and I have added several new songs to the 2018 Christmas mix, including this one, added at the last minute before publishing, when my friend Helene Dunbar threatened to fight any one not willing to accept that this is the greatest holiday song of all time:
Frankie goes to Hollywood - "The Power of Love"
Best holiday season song. You can fight me, but you won't change my mind. https://t.co/f5Dn1zxnb6— Helene Dunbar 🏙 (@Helene_Dunbar) December 25, 2019
Scroll down for TWO mixes; it's a combo.

A Sense of Doubt blog post #1403 - Christmas Mix for Musical Monday for 1812.24
I will be honest.
This mix started with the Nina Hagen song when my wife was playing it on the #@#!! Alexa (technically, the Amazon Echo).
I built it out from that starting point. I knew I was going to add the two Star Trek mashups, but hey, an AVENGERS mashup??? Yes, please.
Groot Groot GROOT. I am GRoot. GROOT, groot groot.
And then the other pieces fell into place with many of my standards: The Pogues, Bowie and Bing, Pretenders, Bruce Springsteen, Band Aid, Kate Bush, Queen. Sure. But then Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly doing Bowie and Bing.... OH MY GOD, did I know about this??
And while we're on the subject of SNL, just this, here on the blog entry because it might actually get looked at if even just by me next year.
This is one of the funniest things I have ever seen.
You're welcome. Even if you already know it but have not seen it in a while.
YES.
I had some help with the images from my friend Wayne and a cool retro SF site on Facebook.
What else is there to say about this mix? Greg Lake and Ian Anderson??? Awesome.
Skipped some usuals like Cocteau Twins and Carly Simon, but maybe I add those back next year.
I am especially pleased with finds like the Drifters and Luther Vandross.
Of course, I LOVE Daniela Andrade. AWESOME. And I featured her last week in another post.
But Tom Waits, Stevie Wonder, some Peanuts music, and one of Liesel's favorites "Patapan" by Mindy Gledhill, which is fantastic.
WE MUST REMEMBER WHAT'S GOING ON AROUND USAND DO SOMETHING:
So this post collects my two holiday posts from 2018 with changes to the mix from SoD on 1812.24. Find additional songs below plus a track list. I follow with the core of the second post with a track list for the Guaraldi music for the Charlie Brown and Peanuts Christmas special.Hundreds of kids in Texas are spending Christmas Eve taking care of each other. Freezing cold, insufficient food, water, medical attention, hygienic resources. No contact with their parents.

A Sense of Doubt blog post #1396 - Christmastime Is Here - part two
Okay, I am putting this here, just because I want to remember it
Hello, time for a bit more Christmas cheer.
Normally, I do a musical mix today. I have many in various states of completion ready to go. Maybe the best use of some free time while off the daily grind of blog broadcast will be to prepare ahead some of these treasures, such as a revisit of the Jam mix with commentary on each song; the Coccteau Twin mix, which is mostly complete; and others like the one I just started with Sinead O'Connor's "Fourth and Vine" as the core or the mix I have been playing for at least a year with Peter Gabriel's "Solsbury Hill" as the foundation.
So today, I thought I would start the Christmas theme with some of my favorite tunes from the Charlie Brown Christmas Special. I tend to listen to this music year around, but more often at Christmas. After all, "Linus and Lucy" was Liesel and my outro (recessional) music at our wedding.
I love this music.
Watching the Charlie Brown Christmas Special is required viewing for me every year.
Also required, the re-read -- these days on audio -- of Dickens' A Christmas Carol. I will be doing so very soon. Or perhaps a reading via YOU TUBE.
OR... I just bought it on AMAZON. Here's a clip.
or this....
I have sampled many versions of A Christmas Carol, but so far the one narrated by Tim Curry is my favorite.

So, when I post at 10:10 a.m. PDT to coincide with the time of your death, Mom, I am now actually posting late, so it's really 1:10 p.m. EDT. But I will continue to use the time stamp of 10:10 a.m. to remember the time of your death, Mom. I know this only matters to me, and to you, Mom. Dropped "Talk to you tomorrow, Mom" in the sign off on 1907.04. Should have done it sooner as this feature is no longer daily.
