Comment:

At long last, a soundtrack by which to don your gay apparel — our long-running playlist of songs to celebrate the season and the rainbow-hued humanity of our extended family of GLBT loved ones. Celebrate the birth of the King of Kings with the music of the Queen of Queens (Barbra Streisand’s “Jingle Bells,” “Ave Maria,” and “It Must Have Been the Mistletoe”); get cozy by a crackling Yule log with a special like-minded someone (try the Carpenters and “Merry Christmas Darling”); or give your holiday blowout some musical ornamentation suitable to your orientation with Mariah Carey and “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” Wham! and “Last Christmas,” or Cyndi Lauper and her kicky calypso-style “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree.” Remember, that Christmas star shines down on everyone, so we say, “Merry Christmas to all.”
