I made the mistake of talking Lydie out of getting “A Bing Crosby Christmas” in favor of “Christmas with the Chipmunks” when we were grocery shopping the other day and saw a display of Christmas music. Although she really does like Bing Crosby (what can I say–I like old movies and so she’s actually had way more exposure to Bing than to the Chipmunks…but she’s never heard of the Chipmunks until Saturday, so I don’t know if that really says anything about her exposure to Bing…) I thought she would like “kid music” more than “grown-up music”.

And she sure likes the Chipmunks’ CD.

Especially the first 5 tracks.

We’ve heard them a good 500 times around here. I get the feeling that I may as well like the Chipmunks while I still can. By Christmas, I’ll probably be ready to murder the omnipresent “Dave”.
