For the past two years around Christmas, I’ve posted about the worst Christmas songs of all time. Â (If you missed those, check here and here.)
But there’s more to Christmas than just crap songs! That’s right, there’s also crap television specials!  Nothing says “Peace on Earth and Goodwill to Men” like claymation, the official sponsor of Christmas Television. In fact, there’s so many that its impossible to watch them all.  There’s only so many hours in the day, and only so many cheesy shows you can watch before you want to gouge your eyes out.
I’ve compiled a list of animated or claymated shows More >

Last Christmas, I had done a post about my least favorite Christmastime songs. Even though we’re still two weeks away from the big day, the radio stations around here have been playing 24-hour Christmas music since mid-July, and it’s once again wearing on my nerves.
All of my picks from last year are still valid complaints; I still hate them. However I now hate “Wonderful Christmas Time†by Paul McCartney and Wings even more, so I’d bump that up a couple notches. By any measure, it’s a terrible song. Anyhate…

I am not a Grinch, I swear it. I love Christmas and the happiness and the family and the food and presents.
What I do not like is Christmas music that we are forced to listen to earlier and earlier these days. Something just doesn’t feel right about handing out candy to trick-or-treaters while “White Christmas” plays in the background. If we’re going to have 3+ months of Christmas music, the radio stations at least need to change it up a little bit.
This is my list of Christmas songs that can just go away already. You’ve done your job, you’ve given More >

So the fiance and I have had two disagreements in our time together. The first is the argument of whether or not “nacho cheese” is considered cheese. I am of the strong opinion that if none of the ingredients came from a cow, it shouldn’t be considered cheese. She feels that since it is orange and tastes like cheese, it should be cheese. This argument highlights a few things about us:
1. We obviously live in Wisconsin, the only state where a debate like this actually raises heated feelings.
2. We are into food, but not exactly gourmet.
3. We need hobbies.
