What, no chipmunks? No Dominic the donkey? How will I survive?

But truthfully, I'm just glad you're doing the show...remotely, while
you're skiing in Aspen of course.

One of them is "A Merry Christmas At Grandmother's House" by Danny Kaye.
I may have the title and artist wrong, but it's that over the river
and through the woods song.

That song is for Thanksgiving, not Christmas.

https://www.history.com/news/the-history-of-pumpkin-pie

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumpkin_pie

Christmas songs:

"Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree": includes the line, "Later we'll
have some pumpkin pie, and we'll do some caroling".

"There's No Place Like Home for the Holidays": mentions, "I met a man
who lives in Tennessee, he was headin' for Pennsylvania and some
homemade pumpkin pie".

"Sleigh Ride": has the line, "There's a happy feeling nothing in the
world can buy, when they pass around the coffee and the pumpkin pie".

Not from memory, so I don't win ! (DC's post was 3 hrs ago)

I loved America and the American people and the great times I had over
there but...

Sadly there were one or two things I DIDN'T like and pumpkin pie was one
of them I'm afraid. Definitely not for me and filed away in the HORRID
drawer along with Dr Pepper

I agree with that, but I have no problem with Dr. Pepper. Haven't had it
in decades, but I like it well enough.

Here is what I drink these days since Mountain Dew does not have a
diet-decaf anymore. It's close to Mountain Dew, but diet and no
caffeine. Mountain and this stuff are both mainly Orange Juice soda.

I stay away from caffeine because it can set off my a-fib and get my
heart beating way too fast. I can't stand coffee, haven't tasted any in
decades. I do like coffee ice cream though, with chocolate syrup.

My second drink is Amazon diet-decaf iced tea. If I have hot tea I just
pour a cup of the ice tea and heat it up. Tastes much better than using
a teabag and sugar substitutes. I also like hot chocolate.

Diane drinks mainly water, but she'll have a lemon or lime flavored
seltzer with dinner. Big cup of coffee or two in the morning, and a hot
tea during the afternoon on many days. She's much better than me at
staying away from sweets and junk food, although her favorite food is
pretzels.
