And now, from the "Why does Christmas have to be so WEIRD?" files and USATODAY/Yahoo! News...


Sudiegirl sez: OK...I believe we touched on this subject a couple days ago in a previous entry. I personally thought it was an isolated incident, but NOOOOOO. Apparently, others have independently created horrific Yuletide scenes to protest commercialism, get their jollies, whatever...

To reduce redundancy, I am not reproducing the article and commenting on it. However, in light of another news situation (the whole President Dubya Bush eavesdropping thing), I would like to make this post extra special...dedicated to our dear president and everyone's favorite jolly old elf, who is so vividly portrayed in the family holiday film featured in the poster to my left. So without a doubt, I bring to you Ray Stevens' classic holiday ditty...


Santa Claus Is Watching You

Now baby doll, sweetie pie, sugar plum, honey bun, angel face
You know you better be good
And act like a true fine lover should
Be careful what you say and do
'Cause Santa Claus is watchin' you
(He's everywhere - he's everywhere)

You better kiss me and hold me tight
And gimme good lovin' every night
'Cause you'll be sorry if you make me blue
'Cause Santa Claus is watchin' you
(He's everywhere - he's everywhere)

Well you may think you can sneak around
And get away with somethin' but there ain't no way
'Cause Santa's no fool, he's really super cool
He's the secret head of the C.I.A.
Eeff-iff and crime don't pay
(You can't do nothin' 'cause you're never alone
He's even got a wiretap on your phone)

So baby if you ever do me wrong
Break my heart and leave me alone
When Christmas comes, you'll be cryin' too
'Cause Santa Claus is watchin' you
(He's everywhere - he's everywhere)


Oh, every Christmas Eve
He climbs on his sled full of toys
With the dual exhausts, side mirrors, fox tails, mud flaps and leopard skin seat covers
And spreads Christmas cheer to all good little girls and boys
And he say "On Dasher & Dancer & Prancer & Vixen

& Comet & Cupid& Donder & Blitzen
& Bruce & Marvin & Leon & Cletus & George
& Bill & Slick & Dooright & Clyde & Ace
& Blackie& Queenie & Prince & Spot & Rover"
Where's Rudolph?


He's on a stakeout at your house
You can run, you can hide, but you can't get away,

got binoculars focused on you every day

So baby if you ever do me wrong
Break my heart and leave me alone
When Christmas comes, you'll be cryin' too
'Cause Santa Claus is watchin' you
(He's everywhere - he's everywhere)

Yeah, Santa Claus is watchin' you
(He's everywhere - Lord have mercy!)
Santa Claus has got his eyes all over you baby
It's over for you - you better watch out - Hoo!
Look out there - Santa Claus is peepin' around the corner at you
You're in deep trouble, you know dat?
He's wise to your baby - you go sneakin' around here
You ain't gonna get away wid it - you understand?
I'm mean - you got to be true blue - thru and thru
Or Santa's gonna git you!

Merry Christmas...?
