While I’m on the subject of Christmas songs, I just heard this version of “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” by Willie Nelson and Norah Jones. Willie Nelson’s delivery cracks me up. Half the time he’s talking more than singing, and sometimes he just sounds annoyed with poor Norah. I was quite amused.
I was doing some tedious work this afternoon, so I decided to start the Christmas music. All was going well for a while – I was working away and occasionally bopping along – until THE song came on my Pandora station.
My work came to an abrupt halt. Who can work when there’s singing to be done?
I love the Mariah Carey version, too, possibly more, but this is the one that came on and made me realize I HAVEN’T WATCHED LOVE ACTUALLY YET THIS YEAR.
We’ve decided we’re going to Christmas it up in Annapolis before we head to PA for the holiday, so we’ll enjoy the lights and the stores and everything this weekend, but we may have to sneak in a viewing of Love Actually, too. After Return of the Jedi, of course. We have priorities.
