Around the tender age of 11, I developed the crush that ate Chicago on Bing Crosby. While my contemporaries were crushing on Cory Haim (or other such Cory’s), the New Kids on the Block, or someone from Saved By the Bell, I was watching the Road To movies with Bing and Bob Hope and wishing I was Dorothy L’Amour or Rosemary Clooney. He’s everywhere this time of year, and I revisit that time of life when I swooned for him like the teenage girls of the forties.
Christmas to me is Bing Crosby. His voice was, and remains transporting for me. He has sung for my family every year at Christmas since I can remember. Now, I reflect on the slow, dreamy quality of his voice that represents how Christmas should be. Meaningful and slow, rich and full, comfortable and comforting. All I would like to do right now is make a warm drink and cuddle on the couch with someone and watch White Christmas and Holiday Inn back to back.

Freya is a cubical farm hand with a heart of gold. In past lives, she has been a tiger, a cowboy, and a cavalier. She continually works to improve her karma so that in her next reincarnation, she'll be something better, hopefully HedonismBot. Read about my subconscious mind here. |

Chutah is a network of specialized nerve cells that conduct impulses from or to areas of the universe to the brain and spinal cord, and within a large system of stars. She is composed of neurons and other specialized cells, like eternal night cells and neuroglia, that aid in the function of existential awareness. Chutah is interconnected in metaphysical arrangements and uses cosmic signals to transmit impulses between beings, she responds to a great variety of beauty and forms neural circuits that regulate her perception and behavior. She is found in many celestial objects but differs greatly in complexity between consciousnesses. |

I especially love "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas" and "I'll be Home for Christmas."
