Whee, it's December 1st. Only 25 more days of piped-in Christmas music. Thankfully the local classical station hasn't started in with the instrumental arrangements. Maybe that'll be next week.
Also, I'm so glad that the good people at MSN Money Central have enough free time to not only add up the cost of everything in the song "Twelve Days of Christmas" ($18,348.87), but also compare it to last year and to 1984. How, precisely, does one calculate the cost of 10 lords-a-leaping? And did they look for "four calling birds" or "four colly birds", because I'd assume it would make a big difference in the overall cost.
