Next-To-Last(ish) Day for Christmas Music

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Hello!

So. It’s Christmas Eve. (It’s also the first day of Hanukkah. So, Happy Hanukkah to any of you who celebrate that!)

But given that Christmas is tomorrow, that means there are about two days left to over-play Christmas Music before it becomes post-Christmas. (Ok, yeah. Not quite true, since the official holiday-day of the US is on the following Monday, and therefore you should be allowed to play Christmas music then. And I think a lot of people do play it over December. Still. Christmas is tomorrow.)

So, here’s a friendly reminder that the “Christmas Can-Can” exists.

Happy Christmas Eve!

Fun, Epic arrangements of Christmas Carols!

So, I realize that I maaaay have been a bit “off” with when Christmas Music season started… I think I’ve previously protested it starting too early. In part, that’s because there are a LOT of WAAAAY overdone ones that get started way to early. So, this was probably the first time in a while I’ve been excited about Christmas music!

Anyway. I found a different arrangement of Carol of the Bells. Since it’s now December 1, and therefore an acceptable time for Christmas music by (pretty much) any standard, I thought I’d share it. Enjoy!

Another Christmas Music Reminder

Greetings, readers!

As The Webmaster reminded us yesterday, it is now officially Christmas Music (and other Winter Holidays’ music) season. Thus, it is now reasonable to remind you of the existence of “Corde Natus Ex Parentis”, or “Of The Father’s Love Begotten”

Enjoy your Saturday.

Thanksgiving and 1000th Webmaster Post!

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Hello!

So… Long time no see. Ish. Or something.

You see, this is the Thousandth Post where I, The Webmaster, am the listed author. So yeah, some of them may essentially be posts from The Student on the cooking website, and I may have contributed significant amounts to some of the posts where Fluffy McGiggles is the listed author, but this is still the 1000th affiliated with “Webmaster” as the author. So, that’s exciting! And it feels like it should be a big deal.

And in honor of that, and in honor of Thanksgiving, the American holiday devoted to giving thanks, I just wanted to give a big shout-out to all of you. Thanks for reading. Thanks for sharing. And thanks for enjoying!

I hope you have a great Thanksgiving. And here are some old posts that are coming to mind.

First, a relatively seasonally appropriate one from last year, pertaining to California and Fall. I’m not sure why, but I just really like that one.

Second, one that’s been getting a lot of new readers. (Even if they don’t really stick around…) It’s the one about “The Fox Box”.

Third, because the Fox Box reminded me of it… the various posts about The Fox Song. (That’s an example of one I basically wrote, but that didn’t get characterized as “The Webmaster Wrote This.” Oh well.) Also, my later analysis of The Fox Song.

I’m thankful that some existed. It meant I had the opportunity to write about it.

Fourth, I’m rather pleased that I discovered the Kitten Takeover. After all, who knows? If it’s a part of the rainbows’ plan, this might help!

Anyway. What are some of your favorites? What are some things you’re thankful for? I’d encourage you to take some time today, and reflect!

Happy Thanksgiving!

National Turkey Pardon

Greetings, readers!

I was examining traditions pertaining to the American Thanksgiving (which is tomorrow), and was reminded of a peculiar tradition. Apparently, every year the president “pardons” an official Thanksgiving turkey.

The White House has more information about this tradition. It is quite interesting!

Have a lovely Thanksgiving Eve.

Costco has its Scary Halloween Decorations again

Hello!

So, anyway. Recently, I was once more at a CostCo. And once more, they had their absolutely perfectly appropriate, terrifying halloween decorations up that I already wrote about. So, I’m basically sending you to an already existing post because I’m scarily lazy like that. And scary-lazy is Halloween-y and therefore October appropriate, or something, right?

Anyway. Have a lovely day!

Some Music for EASTER!

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Hi, Fluffsters!

HAPPY EASTER! THE LORD JESUS IS RISEN!

In honor of this Christian holiday, here are some great pieces to listen to:

A) The obvious one: Christ the LORD is Risen Today. One of my personal favorite arrangements is from the group “Glad”.

2) Another one, “Easter Song”, is also fairly obvious. Once more, “Glad” has done one of my absolute favorite versions of this.

And last, a favorite of mine from Rimsky-Korsakov: Russian Easter Overture. This one incorporates the tunes from some Orthodox Easter chants.

Enjoy! Happy Easter!

How DID St. Patrick’s Day get associated with mint?

Note: If this is your first time to TotalFluff, please visit this brief explanation. Thanks!

Hiya, Fluffsters!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

So, I have a question. Why are there so many associations with mint for this day? I mean, the mint oreos have the appropriate green, and (more importantly) Shamrock Shakes are mint flavored.

Why is that? If it’s the color, why not just green apple flavor?

I mean, seriously. If you Google “Is Ireland Known for Mint“, most of the results relate to currency.

So, I’m confused. But hey, what’s new?

Anyway, have a lovely St. Patrick’s Day!

Happy Pi Day Again!

Hiya, Fluffsters!

Happy Pi Day!

Even though this 3/14 isn’t quite as epic as Last Year’s, it’s still worth celebrating.

Today, I’m celebrating with Pie Crust Cookies.

pie crust cookies

Neither Pie, nor Pi, but still good.

So, they aren’t Pi. Or Pie. Or even round, which is kinda one of the things about Pi.

But they’re still good, and that’s what counts. Right?

Have a great Pi Day!
