The holiday season seems to require a great deal of us.  Sometimes it can be awfully hard to find the joy in any of it.  For reasons of our own, the holiday time can be everything from slightly stressful to deeply depressing.  Therefore, I say let\u2019s enjoy a little levity.  If you refuse to laugh, can we at least share a smile?  A little irreverence  is the spice of life. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This first Hanukkah tune is called \u201cCandlelight,\u201d performed by the Maccabeats.  Got to love the creativity in the group\u2019s name.  this one was new to me, thanks to tweep Marcella (@Abadi_Access<\/a>)..<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Candlelight<\/a> <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the classic Adam Sandler tune.  Still cracks me up.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Hanukkah Song<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Have you ever really listened to the lyrics in the song \u201cMr. Grinch,\u201d from the Dr. Suess  TV special \u201cThe Grinch Who Stole Christmas\u201d?  Absolutely hilarious.  The vocal inflection is priceless. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This next one isn\u2019t for the faint of heart, but it\u2019s the favorite of a friend of mine, who insisted it be included.  You won\u2019t be able to help yourself.  You\u2019ll laugh. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Twelve Days of Kwanza<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This last one is so vulgar, I have to flag it as a \u201cfor mature audiences only\u201d entry.  Still, I can\u2019t get through it without laughing so hard I miss some of it.  It\u2019s the classic South Park video, \u201cThe Spirit of Christmas".\u201d  Don\u2019t turn up the volume if you\u2019re at work.  Enjoy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Spirit of Christmas<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Okay, now it\u2019s time to take requests.  Either submit a link to your own holiday parody, or write a title or lyrics of your own.  I\u2019ll start.  How about a song about the hassles of the holidays, and all the things you must remember to do?  I call it, \u201cOh, Holy Crap.\u201d <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Your turn!<\/p>\n
