In the weeks before Christmas, it’s kinda tough to get the kids calmed down. They’re rabid with anticipation, giddy with thoughts of Santa – more likely, fueled by so much caffeine and greed they could stay awake until Memorial Day.

So why don’t you gather them around for a little story? It doesn’t have to be a spoken word story – plenty of Christmas tunes tell their own little tales. But a good, long tale … why, that’s enough to send even the toughest kid into Dreamland.

How can Christmas be so close? It was just the Fourth of July … or it seems like that. Waitin’ for that next paycheck to roll around before we get out in the trenches for some combat shoppin’. No time, no time. But there’s always time for a few songs.
