Better he should bring Him a talking lamb. Think how different the NT would be if it had featured the adventures of Baby Jesus and his Talking Lamb. I think I feel a can’t-lose pitch meeting with the execs at Fox Television coming on. I just need a name for the lamb… ---

I always had the thought at the back of my mind that those three characters were all the same guy. ---

Something about a Marshmallow World. I had never heard it until this year, when there are 5 or 6 different versions playing over the loudspeaker at work every day. Makes me want to jam the nearest sharp object into my eardrums. ---

Let’s not forget the talking wind. And didn’t the king want to do the exact opposite of rolling out the Welcome Wagon? ---

> [@Barrett\_Bonden](#): > > **Happy XMas, War is Over**. Hate it. It’s so bad it makes me want war to continue. I’m so glad I’m not the only one… I’ve nearly driven off the road trying to change channels on the radio when “The Christmas Shoes” comes on. Hate that song with a passion. The station here that’s gone all Christmas all the time plays it several times a day. :mad: [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/christmas-music-i-can-do-without-2011-edition/603536.md?page=5)
