The holiday season is full of comforting traditions. Even the most cynical of us has some sensory trigger that gives us that momentary, child-eyed rush of holiday cheer. For me, it’s hearing TLC’s “Sleigh Ride.” It really takes me back to a more hopeful time, before Left Eye burned down that dude’s house. Before she died. Hearing it now, I can almost smell the Arby’s where they were probably playing this in the background. It really takes me back to that discount aisle at Sam Goody where they had a bin full of this on cassingle. 1992, never forget.

R.I.P.

  1. Bummer dude. But condom earrings = great stocking stuffer!

  2. ‘A Dipset Christmas’ doesn’t have SHIT on this!!!

  3. two points:

    1. they used sleigh bells in all their songs anyway, so this was the most obvious move ever
    2. i have a 69 boyz / quad city dj’s xmas track that is completely ridiculous if you want it.

  4. oops – i signed in halfway through this video, navigating me away from this post. i guess i’ll have to start the video over from the beginning…

    Please find and post the song trevormail is referring to, if such a wonderful thing actually exists.
