(Annual Repost) Even as a non-believer, and even with all that the holiday entails (the myths, the inventions, religion), I’ve always adored Christmas. To me, and for me, it’s always been the ethos of the holiday – the carols, decorating the trees, the tidings of great comfort and joy from loved ones, the spirit of … More Christmas Angel, Sing To Me…
Even as a non-believer, and even with all that the holiday entails (the myths, the inventions, religion), I’ve always adored Christmas.

It’s a personal opinion, of course (and for years I was in the minority, though not so much anymore), but there hasn’t been a listenable album in … More Music Box: On The 2nd Day Of (Jeffrey)Christ-mas…
Another year, another Christmas. My feeling about the holidays always border on mercurial. Mostly, I bask in the beauty of the spirit, but there are those moments in time when I could feel the soul of Ebenezer creep in. Such is human nature, I surmise, but more often than not, I love the spirit that … More Music Box: The 12 Days Of (Jeffrey)Christ-mas

The “Dr. Laura” was changed to “Dear President Bush” when George Jr. used gay marriage as a platform to rile the … More Dear God, Are You There? It’s Me, Jeffrey. Hello? Knock Knock!
