But if it gets you more hits, so much the better! 8-)

Yeah, My Favorite Things is kinda goofy, but I guess I can see the connection; you can kinda think of it as Maria's Christmas list... There are a lot of Christmassy images in it, what with sleighbells and silver white winters and all. But it is a little odd how it's been appropriated. Anyway, I'm not too familiar with Barry Manilow's Christmas recordings; I think I've heard a couple on the radio but that's it. I'll be consulting the library!

Yep, I've been storing up quite a few Christmas-related reviews, and I figured I would start putting them out now to give them a couple months to let them start "working their magic."

I reviewed a bunch of Christmas CDs in October. I figure it makes sense, since this is the time of year people usually start thinking about buying Christmas music. You want to have a couple of months to give people a chance to read your review and hopefully ramp up income share.

Hope this results in a few Christmas coins for you!
