Before the grinchiness and/or cynicism kicks in, try this one on for size.  It’s Matt Pond PA’s muy brilliante cover of Lindsey Buckingham’s “Holiday Road,” from the 1983 Chevy Chase blockbuster, National Lampoon’s Vacation.  I dare you to be in a bad mood after hearing this.  Go on.  I double-dawg dare you.
