  1. 1) My sister-in-law is named Mindy Smith and I hope she did not write a song with a creepy title like that
    2) There is a really classic carol in Oregon/Washington that everyone here knows because it is played ad nauseum on the radio but it seems is elsewhere unknown. It is super super cheesy and is called "Christmas in the Northwest" and I sing along to every shmalzy word. The chorus goes something like
    It may not be white
    Might be a rainy night
    But its Christmas
    Christmas in the northwest is a gift that we can share
    Christmas in the northwest is a child's answered prayer
    Take away the presents? Why we still would have a tree
    Because Christmas in the northwest
    is the gift God wrapped in GREEEEEEEEEN.

    Yep, never had a white Christmas, still enjoying the gift God wrapped in green.
