(Christmas pop parody)

Lyrics:

Honey wake up you know it’s Christmas Day
I can’t believe we survived past May 
Hear the kids turning on lights and running around 

Sounds like somebody stubbed their toe
But I bet you they’re all still rearing to go
We could get up now but first baby let’s  go down 

We’re gonna have some Christmas morning loving baby
Cheer up the holiday
I may ride like Santa Claus
Or I could be your sleigh

Don’t got no visitors at home this year
Forecast ain’t calling for no snowflakes here
My temperature’s rising, baby please don’t step out

Let em have a little extra screen time today
If they’re munching all the cookies well that’s okay
Even if it stains the brand new tile and grout

Why don’t we have some Christmas morning loving baby
Cheer up the holiday
I’ll be your Cupid and Comet baby
Or I could be your sleigh

I’m sure the kids are playing nice
Sides a little tusslin’s a harmless vice 
Let em run around just for today like a bunch of elves

We can wait to take a picture for your Facebook post
My chestnuts are so hot baby they’re starting to roast 
And next year we can share this joy, with somebody else

If we get down to Christmas morning lovin baby
We don’t have too much time
I’ll be the partridge and you be the pear tree
Woman it ain’t no crime 

We’ll have some Christmas morning lovin baby
Why don’t we play pretend
You be the manger, I’ll enter with gifts
Just like the 3 wise men

Christmas Morning Lovin

Una maravillosa velada pasan Don Quijote y Sancho junto a los duques, quienes deparan al escudero del hidalgo una grata sorpresa.

60-DON QUIJOTE | Respuesta de Don Quijote al venerable

Savitri's reverie is broken by preparations for Satyavan's wake. To the pounding rhythms of the Kumina drums, she transforms into 'Queenie', priestess of the Wake Dance. Astride the mortal and immortal worlds, she is able to seduce and entrap Yama, thereby tricking him into a promise that demands the return of Satyavan to the living world.

Ep.188 Demetrio "Dee" Kerrison. Born in Harlem, NY, he now resides in Los Angeles. In 2001 after a visit to the Studio Museum of Harlem to view an exhibition titled “Freestyle” and curated by Thelma Golden and Christine Y. Kim, he decided to begin building an art collection with a particular focus on African Diasporic artists. 

Since then, Dee and his wife Gianna Drake Kerrison have built an eclectic contemporary art collection which foregrounds emerging and ultra contemporary figurative painters. Abstract, sculpture, conceptual, and photographic works are also featured in the collection.

They are active patrons, and they site on many art focused boards both past and present to include William H. Johnson Foundation, Mistake Room, Noah Purifoy Foundation, the Hammer Museum Board of Advisors and Mike Kelly Foundation.

Took my last checc, invested it all on da grind, I don’t ever place bets, it’s calculated ta be mine 

Cracca laccin, staccin magick, numbers up like mathematics, dis lil summer, I’ma hustle harda den a lil cracc addict 

Thow it, Madden, holdin, cabbage, on my soul I’m goin lavish, open does wit all my flows I’m sposed ta blow fa sho lil daddy... 

And my mind on da money... Ain’t shit funny, I’ma keep dis shit one hunnid...
