YES! NinaZer0 gave me the gift of "the mother is on sedation" a few years back, when I asked about Christmas listening. I now play it every year, and laugh and laugh...

Made the mistake of looking at this at work. Everyone thinks I'm a loon for laughing until I cried. I may need Valium grains and whiskey . . .

"The mother is on a bottle of whiskey a day, as well as the sixty grains of Valium.

I'm very annoyed with you.

My Christmas playlist has Gold Rings, Boxes, and can be blue.
