Basically, I just wanted to say that this time last year I found myself, quite improbably, falling in love. And the Christmas song I kept hearing in at least two TV commercials was the ineffably touching "All That I Want" by The Weepies .
Which, as it turned out, was, improbably, about the improbability of somehow finding the right person to fall in love with.
Above the rooftops...the full moon dips its golden spoon. I wait on clip clops...deer might fly. Why not? I met you...
A year later, I still can't hear the thing without getting a little misty, sentimental old fluff that I am. So I thought I'd share it again (I think I posted it last December without much personal comment) as sort of a video Christmas card to you all.
So Happy Holidays, everyone, with the sincere hope that what the new year brings you makes you as happy I've been since last Christmas. However improbably.

Merry Christmas from a fellow sap. All the best to you in 2009 and thanks for all the great posts and music.
A very merry, Steve.
And may I just mention my favorite modern Xmas, song, "Christmas Wrapping" by the Waitresses?
No other song I've ever heard so perfectly catches the strange magical solitude of being single in the big city at Christmastime. Back when I wa single in the city, that song warmed my heart and gave me hope.
Here's one version:

She's a very lucky woman.
And that's a sweet and wonderful song.
Happy holidays to everyone!

I met the late Patti Donahue, the singer for the Waitresses, a couple of times.
She was adorable, if not quite the happiest camper. Died young, alas.
