Well, it's official. I can't listen to a single Josh Grobin song now without thinking of all you folks here on Bountiful. And...I think that's my own fault.
Josh is the best for listening in the car! It keeps me from getting all anxious about the other drivers. Sometimes I'm just terrified by other drivers in this town!

I'm going to have to add some Josh songs to my i-Pod.
Time to finish my seminary lesson.

Ok, I decided I was getting sick of the Josh Grobin CD that I've been listeniing to in the car so today while I was picking a kid up from school I decided to turn it off. So after listening to "Don't Give Up" I eject the CD only to find another Josh Grobin song playing on the radio at that precise moment. And it happens to be "You Raise Me Up." AAAARRGH!
He has a new Christmas CD "Noel" Here's the track listing
1. Silent Night 2. Little Drummer Boy 3. I'll be Home for Christmas 4. Ava Maria 5. Angels We Have Heard On High 6. Thankful 7. The Christmas Song 8. What Child is This 9. First Noel 10. Petit Papa Noel 11. It came upon a Midnight Clear 12. Panis Angelicus 13. O Come all Ye Faithful

And guess what everyone! You can get Joshie's Christmas CD for a special discounted price of 20% off the regular list price at Deseret Book of $18.98! So, what you can get for $12.99 at Amazon (with free shipping if you buy a total of $25 worth of stuff and no tax), you can have the privilege of paying $15.18 from Deseret Book (plus shipping of $5.98 if you order this alone and sales tax if you live in a state where DB has a brick & mortar store)!
What a bargain! What a bargain for me!
I don't think I have ordered a thing from Deseret Book in a couple years after figuring out that even their "sale" and "special price" items were all set at a premium price, and that their shipping and handling charges are highway robbery...

Hey, if you have to have a Christmas music by a musical star, around in the Cat Herder home, nothing is better than some Johnny Mathis, Barbara Striesand, and the occasional Elvis or Perry Como... It is just when autistic son decides he wants to listen to it over and over again OUT OF SEASON that gets irritating...

My kids like the Carpenter's Chistmas Album. And we listen to it year round... and honestly... I don't mind... mostly cuz Karen Carpenter has the most heartwarming voice... ever...

Dude. Whenever I hear Kenny Rogers and his Mary, Did You Know song, I actually pull off the side of the road and puke until I dry heave. You think I'm JOKING?

Kenny Rogers + Christmas Music = severe abdominal cramping to the point of having to have stuff come out of both ends.
Kenny is a good singer, but only in what he excels... that country/pop/folk/mild western type stuff like on his Best of Kenny Rogers album...
But, Kenny's Christmas attempts are not as debilitating as trying to survive an onslaught of Willie Nelson (singing anything...). Hmmm.... I wonder... is Josh Groban one of Willie Nelson's illegitimate offspring?

Mary Did You Know isn't on the CD I'm talking about Coco. I haven't heard much of his solo Christmas stuff, but paired with Dolly it's nice. I Believe in Santa Claus...

Like right now. He's listening to Johnny Mathis' "Winter Wonderland." And "Chestnuts Roasting."
...and yes... perhaps Sheri Dew needs to charge all that extra money for the plastic surgery she should get for her huge nostrils.
Wait... I should have put that on the fake news thread.

But at least when I order from DB, I know I'm not contributing to the profits of a business that also sells porn. I'll pay a couple of extra dollars for that.
And I'll buy a $6.95 replacement stopper valve at the nighborhood hardware store instead of the $4.99 one at Lowes, because it's worth an extra couple of dollars to help out a family-owned business.

Favorite Christmas Album...BareNaked Ladies! Really, check it out - Especially God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen/We Three Kings. It is in the CD player now, just in case I need it.

I never pay shipping with DB... I get a free shipping offers at least quarterly... So I just keep a list of wants... The other thing is that there is one near the Mesa temple... so again no shipping...

Tooooo funny. Cat even burst out laughing when I showed him what you said after walking in the door in a half stupor from prescription cough syrup and from getting home from taking DD1 to school after seminary was over.
Hmmm... Definite linebacker potential there Mahonri... She appears to already be wearing the pads. You may want to invest in some bodyguards. Mirk may be for hire when he is off duty and not moonlighting trying to keep Coco in line at DI

Somehow I think if there was one of the "weemin's" harping on the unattractiveness of a former MALE Church leader ... oh, boy, the Bountiful Brethren would not stand for it!
