Not to rain on the parade, but I’ve paid taxes for a long time. I see where my money goes and how most of it is wasted by incompetents.

July 27, 1938 – March 4, 2008
He turned idle daydreams into something more. He taught us how to use our imagination. I’m thankful for all he sacrificed to make gaming what it is today.

Around 1999 I noticed that a lot of my favorite Christmas songs were various discs, for example Jethro Tull's 'Another Christmas Song' was on a disc, it being the only Christmas song on the album, so at Christmas, I didn’t have one CD with all the songs I liked on it. So I made a compilation of all the scattered Christmas song. I also gave a copy to my sister. Every year ever since then, I have gathered songs to make my sister a Christmas CD. Over the years more pop and rock groups have put out Christmas albums. But I’m still looking. I’ve been listing to Christmas songs and wondered what other people thought were the best songs. I’ll give my top ten soon.
