When Can You Listen to Christmas Music? November 2021

Posted by on

Earlier this week I flipped over my Christmas music tracking advice website to read:  "Yes" as of Monday, November 1st, 2021.  I've posted about "Can I listen to Christmas Music?" before including last year (when I posted on November 1st) and have posted about it over the years.

If you go to the Christmas Music Permission site and scroll down, you'll see that I have it listed as a project that I established in 2015.  

Ever since then, I've posted about the project - and how I flip it from "No.  Don't be a lunatic." (which is up from Jan 1 --> Oct 31) to "Yes.  Go ahead." (which is up from November 1 --> Dec 31 - almost every year.

In 2015, I started the "Can I listen to Christmas music?" project back in 2015.
In 2016, I posted on Christmas music from 2016 and included a Buzzfeed video.
In 2017, I posted on listening to Christmas music from 2017 on November 2nd
In 2018, I posted about the move to a new landing page (from Blogger to Tumblr with a simple theme).
In 2019, I seem to have NOT posted about the site/project.
But, in 2020, I came back strong with a COVID-specific message to celebrate Christmas music listening season.

One editor's note about these single-issue website projects.  While this one - Can I listen to Christmas Music yet? - changes every year.  One of my other ones - Should I have a holiday weekend wedding? - never changes.  And never will.  Just don't do it, people.

    Your website is wrong. No Christmas music until after Thanksgiving.

Lou Malnati's Salad Dressing Recipe as Published in the 60's

Posted by on

Earlier this winter, I wrote about the old Lou Malnati's menu and mentioned that as I was waiting around for my pie to finish up, I spied an old Chicago Tribune article posted on the wall that included the original Lou Malnati's Italian Salad Dressing Recipe.  The Tribune reporter called it "prized".  We were set to host a little pizza party over the weekend, so I figured I'd give it a shot.  Here's the article as seen through my mobile phone's camera. I'm not a wine drinker, so the fact that the recipe called for Burgundy wine didn't strike me as odd.  I went shopping at Angelo Caputos in Addison - a really incredible shopping experience - and when I got to the wine section I found Burgundy wine was carried ONLY in those HUGE jugs.  And they were dirt cheap.  The only issue is that needed just 4 ounces.  We ended up with a whole-lotta-wine that Nat won't drink. I've taken the recipe and modified it a bit by eliminating the percentage...

Overwintering Disneyland Roses With Leaf Mulch - Floribunda Roses - December 2024

Posted by on

Yesterday, I posted photos of how I'm attempting to overwinter some Dahlia tubers in the ground and in a couple of those pics, you might have peeked at the chicken wire cages next to the piles of mulch on the dahlia tubers.  Those chicken wire cages are full of fallen leaves and are set on top of the three Disneyland Rose crowns along the southside of our house. See below for a couple of photos showing how I set up the ring of chicken wire and filled it with mulched-up leaves: These roses struggled this year, so here's hoping this little bit of extra Winter protection is going to help them get through the cold.
