Every time I hear that maudlin little holiday song, about the boy and his ailing mama and the shoes, I exercise my prerogative to change the station on the car radio.
The "socks" I prefer hearken back to happier times. Our first married Christmas, and Mr. Fairway's Aunt Eileen, who crocheted us a pair of beautiful stockings.
The chili pepper lights that hang from the fireplace came all the way from Texas with us when we moved to DC. These Christmas socks inspire real memories. I pity the poor person who has to conjur Christmas in a commercial endeavor.

That song gets me every time! I want a hippopotamus for Christmas:-)
That's so funny...just today we were at Backyard Burgers and that Christmas shoe song was on. I said to my husband, "Nothing says Christmas spirit like a song about a boy with a mom dying of cancer, begging someone to give him a pair of shoes to give her." I LOATHE that song. It's so depressing.
Ditto!! Ugh!
I'm not even sure which song that is. I do love the stockings. My mom made each of us one. When I married, I made one for my husband. Not knit: white cotton trimmed with a red topper and embroidered name down the front.
I'm not familiar with the song but those stockings are really cute.

Love those chili lights. Where can I find some?
I'm with Sarah--I want the chili lights.
I'm lovin' the chili pepper lights.
I don't think I've heard that Christmas shoe song.
So many people bitch about that song, and I've never heard it.
(Not that I want to.)
My list of hated Christmas songs is long and illustrious. Don't get me started...!
