it is now 6:32 pm in the NYC area, and what am i thinking about? Christmas a$$... Yeah i said it. WHY?
well it all started when i heard this morning when i heard on the radion a person singing this song..."Dominick the donkey" the Italian Christmas song...WTF? Christmas A$$? I had to listen to it all & was buggin out...Apparently Santa has a little friend whos name is Dominick, b/c the reindeer cannot make it up the hills of Italy when Santa goes to visit his paisans<-- (no lie) he has this Donkey there to bring them all sorts of stuff, like shoes and a dress etc etc... ARE YOU FREAKIN KIDDING ME??? here are the lyrics....

Hey! Chingedy ching, (hee-haw, hee-haw)
It's Dominick the donkey.
Chingedy ching, (hee-haw, hee-haw)
The Italian Christmas donkey.
(la la la-la la-la la la la la)
(la la la-la la-la la-ee-oh-da)

Santa's got a little friend,
His name is Dominick.
The cutest little donkey,
You never see him kick.
When Santa visits his paisons,
With Dominick he'll be.
Because the reindeer cannot, Climb the hills of Italy.

Hey! Chingedy ching, (hee-haw, hee-haw)
It's Dominick the donkey.
Chingedy ching, (hee-haw, hee-haw)
The Italian Christmas donkey.
(la la la-la la-la la la la la) (la la la-la la-la la-ee-oh-da)

Jingle bells around his feet,
And presents on the sled.
Hey! Look at the mayor's derby,
On top of Dominick's head.
A pair of shoes for Louie,
And a dress for Josephine.
The labels on the inside says, They're made in Brooklyn.

Hey! Chingedy ching, (hee-haw, hee-haw)
It's Dominick the donkey.
Chingedy ching, (hee-haw, hee-haw)
The Italian Christmas donkey.
(la la la-la la-la la la la la) (la la la-la la-la la-ee-oh-da)

Children sing, and clap their hands,
And Dominick starts to dance.
They talk Italian to him,
And he even understands.
Cumpare sing, Cumpare su,
And dance 'sta tarantel.
When jusamagora comes to town,
And brings du ciuccianello.

Hey! Chingedy ching, (hee-haw, hee-haw)
It's Dominick the donkey.
Chingedy ching, (hee-haw, hee-haw)
The Italian Christmas donkey.
(la la la-la la-la la la la la) (la la la-la la-la la-ee-oh-da)
Hey! Domini

NOW.....not only does it take a stretch of the imagination to believe in Santa to begin with,
then the flying reindeer complete with the 'special' one named Rudolph,
who happens to have a red nose & leads the way to all the houses all over the world
(but definitely not the projects seeing as how 1- there are some bad-ass kids in the projects
2- and there aint no chimneys to go on down, no one ever cleared up that little fact for me during my childhood)
sorry i digressed...
but now some folks continue to subscribe to a CHRISTMAS A$$?
The radio announcer explained this was an old song, etc etc...i'm sorry, i just dont get it..
I personally was expecting another kind of Christmas ass, which is seriously lacking in my life at the moment, but we will leave that for another time...
