Audio fruitcake: "Suddenly It's Christmas" by Loudon Wainwright III

(link)

Granted, given the topic of this song - the feeling that "Christmastime comes earlier every year" - I should've made this the first post in this series. But I plumb forgot to. Anyway, "Suddenly It's Christmas" is a very funny, very true reflection of premature holiday craziness.

I've been a fan of Wainwright's since I first heard his Little Ship album in college. (It's definitely worth a listen.) I like his acting, too,; especially when he played Steven's dad Hal in the brilliant, done-too-soon series "Undeclared".
