Dear Radio Station Program Managers,

Ummm... When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I'm feelin' sad....I simply remember my favorite things, and then I don't feel....so.....bad. It's not a favorite thing....

I've always wondered why it's on the Christmas repertoire as well...

my bad, I googled the lyrics. I thought I heard that the dog biting was one of her favorite things, but I listen to it with 1/2 my ears, kinda like how I listen to my XH.


And anytime anyone is my family passed away, the funeral home always said "no shoes" so I don't know why he felt the need to buy her shoes. The Christmas season has a high rate of suicide, and that song probably sends people off the edge. Or at least sends alot of ear-gougers to the ER.

That is the most depressing song I've heard in a long time. Holy crap. If I was depressed, that would probably send me over the edge. Sheesh. Who the heck thought of writing that?

Mr. Radio Man, when choosing your play list, remember, not all of us are interested in hearing Christmas Music 24/7 for two months. We like to actually hear regular music most of the time, interspersed with Christmas Carols. 24/7 Christmas music should only be reserved for Christmas Eve/Christmas Day.

Ugh! I loathe that song AND "The Christmas Shoes" is an even worse atrocity. There is no punishment foul enough for that songwriter. Now I have to say that I love "My Favorite Things." It is one of my favorite songs ever but it is NOT a Christmas song and the only versions I like are John Coltrane playing it on the sax and Julie Andrews singing in "The Sound of Music".
