Craig and Lee Ann, congratulations on the hat trick.

Donna, like most of us this week, is taking part in that bastion of office-place Christmas spirit known as Secret Santa.
Donna's "Jingle Buddy" is new to her department, recently relocating from Chicago. So Donna thought it would be nice to make a CD with some Texas artists to welcome them to the Great Lone Star State.
And because Donna happens to be married to a renowned music critic and pundit, she asked me to select the songs for the disc. So last night I dutifully sat down and put together a list of 13 choice selections representing the very best rock, blues, country and swing music that Texas-born talent has to offer.
But tonight as we were listening to our own copy of the CD, it dawned on us that it's very possible this gift could be...well...misinterpreted. It's likely we are over analyzing this, but there are two factors at work that may create some awkwardness.
First, Donna's Jingle Buddy is a dude.
Second, the CD contains some suggestive lyrics that take on a completely different personality when given as a gift to a co-worker. A sampling of said lyrics follows:
You look romantic layin' in the hay
I need you tonight in a new kind of way
When you look at me with those eyes
It makes me start to fantasize
Do it to me like I know you could
So I can do it to you baby like a Texan should
As I think of the past and all the pleasures we had
As I watch the mating of the dove
It was in the springtime when you said goodbye
I remember our faded love
Merry Christmas, but not in that way.
