This post comes with another round of disclaimers.  The content is not my usual writing about bees, gardens and dogs.  During the winter months, I am writing posts for my Out of Left Field collection.  My parents, who read my blog, asked for another disclaimer.  They are concerned that my readers will think my dislike of Christmas music is tied to my childhood Christmas experiences.  For the record, my parents made Christmas awesome.  Anything good in me comes from parents.  I claim full responsibility for my idiosyncrasies and peculiarities.
