I have never personally used these two words to describe the same thing, but to each his own.

I noticed several months ago that a quite a few musical artists had passed away this year, a trend that continued throughout the rest of 2017. My holiday selections this year have featured some of these artists who have enriched our lives. Today’s pick is a little different. Not only had I never heard of Johnny Halliday, I was unaware that there was a “French Elvis.” While I am not up to the task of translating the lyrics – the title means “Christmas Together” – we can count ourselves fortunate that music truly is the universal language.

This one is for my little brother . . .

for having sent me this pun on Facebook:

A fine song for a chilly day.

Just cuz, ya know. It’s hard leaving Christmas behind.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

I went to bed at 6:00 last night and slept until 3:00 this afternoon. I have been awake for a whopping 3 hours and think it may be time for some more healing slumber. But not before spending some quality Christmas with Chuck Berry first.

I never could figure out if this was supposed to be Run Rudolph Run or Run Run Rudolph, but I do know it is Fun Fun Fun!
