My Favorite Christmas Song Of All Time: Santa And His Old Lady By Cheech And Chong



You know it's Christmas the moment you see all those decorations being put in the houses and of course when the Christmas songs start playing non-stop till Christmas Day.  There are many songs about Christmas ranging from Jingle Bells to Silent Night.  Some are covered by well-known singers and bands who want to express their take on the Christmas season.  For me, there is one song that will always be my favorite Christmas song of all time.  That would be "Santa And His Old Lady" by Cheech And Chong".

Whenever it was December, 24K would play this song or I would always request it.  It's about some dude telling another his version about who Santa Clause is and how he lived near his neighborhood in the project.  All elements about the Christmas were still there only funnier with the midgets and reindeer with the Latin names as well as the goodies such the brownies and "magic dust".  The funny part in the end is the other still doesn't get who Santa Clause is and believes that he once played with this dude back in the day.  In the end, the other dude doesn't get it and they keep on talking till the song fades out.

As you guess, this isn't your typical Christmas song.  You have to be in the "zone" to appreciate its humor.  Since me and my brothers and pals always were, we always found it hilarious.  Still every Christmas I always listen to this song.  It was one way to deck the halls.  Merry Christmas everyone!!!!
