Hey, the Xmas thing is your projection, all I said was “La la La “. =8^)

Glad somebody else remembers that old pop hit. I hadn’t heard it in decades and was pleasantly surprised when I pulled it out of Apple Music. I think it stands up as a dandy treatment of the song.

By the way, the reason I was thinking about that song is I was wondering if the idea for that death might’ve come from the death of the wicked stepmother in “The Juniper Tree”. Big heavy object falling from the sky crushing nasty old woman, hmm.
