I have thawed a smidge though. I put together a CD for work based off of the fact that we were all tired of hearing all of the same music on the local station broadcasting 24 hour a day Holiday music, and the fact that a friend of mine is inexplicably in love with "I Want A Hippopotamus for Christmas" and said radio station wouldn't play it.
So. Here, for your pleasure, is an Erin approved, Grinch accepted Holiday playlist.

Hell's Threshold (Hell's Threshold, a.k.a. Clark W. Griswold's rant. a.k.a. this:
CLARK: Where do you think you're going? Nobody's leaving. Nobody's walking out on this fun, old-fashioned family Christmas. No, no. We're all in this together. This is a full-blown, four-alarm holiday emergency here. We're gonna press on, and we're gonna have the hap, hap, happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny fucking Kaye. And when Santa squeezes his fat white ass down that chimney tonight, he's gonna find the jolliest bunch of assholes this side of the nuthouse. Ha!
