and I’m going to try and dig up some MP3s of Filipino Christmas songs
for this Advent calendar. A combination of the warm weather and Spanish influence makes Filipino carols
a little bouncier than your typical North American or European ones,
many of which are a bit too solemn for this party animal’s liking.
Filipino traditions have considerable overlap with Mexican traditions
thanks to the fact that the distances involved made it necessary to
administer the Philippines not from Original Recipe Spain, but Extra
Crispy New Spain, a.k.a. Mexico. I can’t think of better way to
celebrate this overlap and Christmas at the same time — other than
throwing a tequila-fueled bacchanal at my apartment — than to share this cover of Feliz Navidad (that’s “Merry Christmas” in Spanish) by El Vez [4.0MB, MP3] the Mexican Elvis. Enjoy!

When? When's the bacchanal? I know loooooots of Spanish Christmas carols, most of them, actually. It would be so much fun!
