Sure, van Gogh painted 'The Starry Night while looking east, out out of his monastery/asylum window in the wee hours of a June morning in 1888.
But that doesn't mean that it doesn't have a holiday season quality about it.
And, heckfire, Robert Wells and Mel Torme wrote that tune that Nat King Cole made famous about chestnuts roasting and all that while lounging around a pool during a blistering Los Angeles heatwave in 1945.
So...
Go figure.

Looking for the real thing...Check out this great live version.
What's this Advent Jukebox business all about?....Well, the idea of a homemade 'song a day'-type advent calendar/jukebox came to me in late November a few years ago....And when the tunes began they were, essentially, lullabies for our oldest kid who was half a continent away cramming for final exams...Now, well, the whole thing just seems to be a bit of a tradition, if such a thing is possible on the ever changing interweb of everchanging platforms 'n things.
