Thanks for doing our tag!!! LOL! I knew someone (or some) would do it after Christmas and that's fine with me! I think it's great and you're right, many people continue to listen to the music into January. Very cool video!
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark! I remember that most of the stories themselves didn't do much for me, but those illustrations freaked out an entire generation of kids. 😂 That being said, the one with the spider laying eggs in the gal's face WAS pretty creepy. And I remember the ones featuring casual cannibalism as troubling yet kind of funny. For example, some kid finds a human toe in the garden, brings it to Mom, and she proceeds to toss it in the evening soup because why not. And then there's the butcher who, after an argument turned deadly, gets rid of his wife's body by grinding it into sausage, but the product proves so popular that instead of getting off this crazy train, he murders a chain of profitable victims. When one of them eventually escapes imminent grinding, the townfolk say "So THAT'S where everyone's been mysteriously vanishing for all these years" before dealing with the butcher. 🤣 I read Lloyd Alexander's Chronicles of Prydain as a kid. Great memory! And as for the Gospel accounts, I like the magi from Matthew and the shepherds from Luke, but my favorite is John's "In the beginning was the Word ...". I always go to Christmas Day Mass to hear it read. A lot of people prefer Midnight Mass so they can hear the "Charlie Brown" reading from Luke. 😁 Man, I think I rambled just a bit there. So I must have enjoyed the video. Have a good one!
@@BryanM.R.-prionic1I’m all about the rambling. Glad you enjoyed it. And for what it’s worth, the pictures stuck with me more than the stories too. I remember the toe story. It was very odd.

Holliday tradition I celebrate "Happy Dew Year" where I drink as many flavors of mountain dew as I can get my hands on on the 31st of December and 1st I'd Han (personal thing I'm the only one that I'm aware of that does that) Make sure to check Wordcat for the red coat book, I will but you might have better luck with memories to guide you. The Christmas decor is still fine, I still have a Holliday romance to get to, so my season isn't over till I finish "set the record Straight" by Hannah bonam-Young lol.
@@zachreads I dig that phrase, getting punched in the face by your own heart. Very easy to visualize and given the cartoons I have seen, very possible if you are looking down when your heart beats out of your chest!! Thanks, I might have an inaccurate memory. That thought plagues me. Also, I still have my Christmas decorations up AND still have a cozy Christmas romance to read… you are understood my friend. Haha
Almost up to episode 10 of Towle Tags 😂 that is so awesome! Nice take on this…
