"Before you wish for what you wish for there's a list for who's been naughty or nice but consider the price to an elf." ~ Elf's Lament

********************

Okay, so Christmas is officially over (and let us all heave a collective sigh of relief!) but I have decided that this song is one of my new favorite Christmas tunes and I wanted to share it. This isn't by any means a new song, it was on the album Barenaked For the Holidays which was released in 2004 by ~ duh ~ the Barenaked Ladies but I was obviously out of the loop as I had never even heard the song until I was driving down the road listening to a classic rock station last Thursday!

I was afraid that if I didn't post it now I would have completely forgotten the title by the time the next Christmas season rolled around. I've noticed that the older I get, the more my memory seems to take on distinct Swiss cheese-type characteristics in that there are appear to be a lot of holes where thoughts used to reside but have disappeared completely. Given that, the chances of my remembering a somewhat obscure Christmas song about disgruntled elves some eleven months down the road is slim to none! But this is a song that I think I'd like to remember so now I'll just have to remember that it's in my blog archives!

Hope your holidays were happy!
