Hi, my name is Michelle Tackabery, and occasionally I can be swayed by an over-the-top, warbling country ballad sung by Dolly Parton. 
Hey, I live in the south. Get off my ass!For years I always adored her little gem Hard Candy Christmas. Then it comes on the radio the other day-it's very hard to avoid Christmas music on the radio in the Triangle area of North Carolina, as there are not one, not two, but three bloody stations playing Christmas music 24/7!!!-not that I'm bitter-and I find out, not only does my husband also like the song (he of the complete KISS collection), but that he also loves the film from which is came, a Burt Reynolds opus from the musical: The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. I didn't know the song came from the movie. Which proves that I picked the right guy to marry, I must say. I like this particular song, once again, because of the melancholy and yearning it embodies. To me, that's Christmas. How can one day ever live up to the things we expect of it?
