Guess he doesn't need me to duet with him on it now.

It's a duet between McD and his wife, Amy Holland. It's made my top list of holiday songs.

Gasp. There’s that chicken bone.

The "Deck The Halls" was just okay, although he totally nicked the fa-la-laas from Van Morrison's sha-la-laas and that Counting Crows douchebomb & his freaking "Mr. Jones". At least it moved. "Through The Many Winters" left me feeling all snuggly and cuddled. No. Wait. It left me feeling like I was buried alive in a snow bank while a member of the Donner Party gnawed on my blackened, frostbitten foot. That THAT recipe, Wolfgang Puck, you bastard. And as for "Christmas On The Bayou", it truly speaks to the brilliance and commitment of McD that he would continue recording a song, all the while choking on a chicken bone, ah gair-rawn-tee!! Hooo boy.

At 6:51, it's his "Hey Jude" of Christmas tunes. You don't expect an album with "Christmas on the Bayou" to have a its singer wear a snow-dusted scarf on the cover. Carol Wexford may want to get an unlisted number...

McD's kids must truly hate him. And after hearing all this stuff, I'm not too crazy 'bout him, either. Even the medley sounds contrived. Didn't he do that New York Rock & Soul Revue with Donald Fagen about 15 years ago? I remember his stuff on that seemed cool and effortless, not labored in the least. Of course, Kenny Rogers could probably play in a soul revue with Donald Fagen and seem funky. But what I really kept thinking throughout was, man, after this, the 25th day of Mellowmas is going to be a humdinger ... Rob EightE1 “The Chipmunk Song?” McD’s kids must truly hate him.

Who is Carol Wexford? BEST MELLOWMAS LINE YET! I'd be surely disappointed if I were ever able to understand a single word that McD sings.

BEST MELLOWMAS LINE YET!

I’d be surely disappointed if I were ever able to understand a single word that McD sings. He’s always sounded like he has a dozen acorns stashed away in his cheeks.

I’m too scared to watch the “chipmunks” video…
