Oh no, those dark and twisted interpretations of "It's a Wonderful Life" -- lies, ALL LIES! I follow that gift superstition of always putting money in a gifted purse. Also, if you give knives, you tape money to the blade so it will not cut the friendship. Love the Dr Fauci ornament, LOL!

ReplyDeleteThe saddest song list is a little off because they missed a few that are sadder (IMHO):
The Kinks - Father Christmas
Emerson Lake & Palmer - I Believe in Father Christmas
And the saddest of all - Dan Fogelberg - Same Old Lang Syne

Merry Christmas to all
I've always considered Fogelberg's "Same Old Lang Syne", due to the title reference to "Auld Lang Syne", to be a sad New Year's song.

Yeah, but the Same Old Lang Syne story takes place on a snowy Christmas Eve.
