Christmas is Over

Listening to: Bruce Cockburn - Circles in the Stream
Well, Children, another Christmas has Come and Gone. How did you spend your Christmas this year? Huddled in front of a burning trash can? Running madcap around New York City all by yourself and befriending strange pigeon-ladies? Or perhaps you merely spent it with some opposing German soldiers in a wooded glen somewhere on the eastern front. Who knows. In all likelihood, you did all of these things.

Here's what I did:


That's right, I made my little sister a worse person. Merry Christmas, Leah. That sort of gift is priceless.

Bruce Cockburn is one of the penultimate Canadians. I always think of him and Anne Murray having a baby, and you know who the baby is? It is Wayne Gretzky. Circles in the Stream is great for a number of reasons, including:
- It's Bruce Cockburn
- Love Song
- Bruuuuuuuuuce
- Several other reasons

Get ready to love Bruce.
