The Grinch Until After Christmas
It’s that time of the year once again. Christmas is upon us.
As I sat in a luxury car on a long drive, Christmas music was playing on the car’s stereo. Year after year, the same CD. Always the same 60+ year old songs.

The entire damn song, away they sing in an annoying voice, wanting their hula-hoops…
It’s maddening. Simply maddening….

(“Baby Boomers” aren’t as much a feature of South African culture as in the US. So we just get the Boney M Christmas Album. Every year. For the last 30 years.)
Music isn’t the same in South Africa as it is in the US! I learned early on to bring numerous CD’s and leave them around like Johnny Appleseed, at bars, restaurants, or people’s homes I might frequent.
