A Colbert Christmas: Another Christmas Song | ||||
|
Seriously, when David Hasselhoff and Jessica Simpson are allowed to go into the studio, you know someone's been really naughty and they're taking it out on all of us.
What is it about the holidays that makes celebrities - and alleged celebrities - decide they have to get into the studio and record a collection of sticky, cheesy, treacly, sentimental Christmas standards?
Not that they're all bad. The classic Christmas albums by artists like Barbara Streisand, Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra or Johnny Mathis have a certain timeless holiday sound.
But when it comes to the newer crop of Christmas albums, I can only listen to so many lush arrangements (insert Hasselhoff joke here) without heaving my nog. I prefer something a little more upbeat, not to mention honest.
In that spirit, for kids from one to ninety-two, please to enjoy Another Christmas Song by Stephen Colbert.
May it jingle your bells, nip at your nose and roast your chestnuts many times and many ways throughout the season.
