There I was- attempting to wrap presents

And I heard someone on the television in the background yodeling along to, "Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas".
And this singer is running through all sorts of scales, modes, and reinterpretations of what was originally written as a single half note, perhaps two.

At the door I turned back to my wife and ask,
"Who is that, anyway?"
"Christina Aguilera."



And, once again, I make a fool of myself.
