The Christmas Song<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The Christmas Song” performed by Nat King Cole is today’s song pick. Or, if you prefer, listen to the version from Natalie Cole where she sings along with a recording of her father. They’re both good. You may know the song as “Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire.” When I was in New York for the Christmas show<\/a> many years ago, I got to smell roasting chestnuts being sold by vendors on the street. I didn’t like the smell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hot dogs and pizza<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the year, either my mom or my aunt hosts a Christmas dinner, which we usually do on the 26th. They both love to go all-out when it comes to serving food (as I’m sure millions of hosts across the world do this time of year), but that doesn’t mean that we can only feast on foie gras. In fact, I’m glad we don’t. I didn’t even know what it was until I scanned the Wikipedia article a minute ago, and everything about it sounds absolutely horrible. Bleh, let’s get into a new paragraph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One year, my mom was discussing the dinner with my aunt, and my aunt said, “Just have pizza!” So, we did (among other things). I love pizza. It was awesome. Last year, we had another traditionally simple meal. We cooked hot dogs in the fireplace<\/a>. At the top of this post is one shot of the dining room table, loaded with hot dogs and marshmallows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
