cheese for dinner
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
—Alfred Lord Tennyson
As you no doubt recall from last year and the year before, Kiki Krismas is an ever-so-slightly Jesus-centric, winter mix I do this time every year. Well, this year I had the pleasure of collaborating with my beloved Mr. Handsome Pants, aka Spencer, aka Crusty. See, we’re in that disgusting phase of beginning all sorts of traditions together to cement our togetherness and collective disgusting cuteness. It’s all quite adorable and gross, concomitantly.
We had a blast selecting and arranging the songs for this year’s mix, and naught but Wayne Newton himself could cause us to disagree on its contents. (Better luck next year, Wayne.) The result is Kiki and Crusty’s Krismas, and I dare say Spencer is now as into it as I am.
Listen at work with the nifty player below (track list) or download the whole dang thing right here.
Until next year … may you be happy, may you be well, may you be free. May we all be blessed with loving-kindness.

Name's Kirsten. I'm a splitter of hairs, a hillbilly, a rock horns devotee, an ellipses-lovin' fool, and queen of the conceptual jinx. I'm also a geek and the grateful human of littleblackdog. I do this and that and some of the other … up to and including writing this here blog.
