Parents, we know this time of year can be stressful. As if there isn't enough going on with the crush of the holiday season, your kid's school is sending out email after email with details about this holiday class party, and that special pajama day, plus the holiday concert.
The list goes on and on.
Well, take heart because we found someone who feels your pain.
Dave Ogleton is from Devon PA (a suburb of Philadelphia) and the father of six. And that means six times the number of emails at this time of year.
And six times the amount of head-spinning.
And what exactly is "Candy Cane Hair Day" and who's going to clean up THAT mess?
Facebook Theater
ANNOUNCER - Welcome to another edition of WDHA's Facebook Theater - private drama performed publicly because we just need you to know.
- Hey, I just got this month's school schedule email. That's why there's more than Folgers in this cup. "Hi parents. So on top of this already being one of the busiest and most stressful times of the year, don't forget next week to dress your kid for Grinch Day, Reindeer Day after that, Polar Express Conductor Day, oh, and Candy Cane Hair Day the following day." Do they put actual candy canes in their hair or they dye it?
- "Please note tomorrow's holiday party" - tomorrow's holiday party? - will require your student to bring in 24 homemade decorated, gluten-free, vegan nutless cupcakes." What in the Martha Stewart?
- Oh, and please don't forget we also have early dismissal the third week of this month on all days ending in 'y.'" What? "We'll email complicated details about that in an equally annoying separate email. Happy holidays." For who? Hey, do we have mistletoe? Yeah, I just want to put it above my butt so they can kiss my a$$.

5 Rock Holiday Tunes To Add To Your Collection This Season
Many of us love Holiday music. For some, waiting until the week of Christmas is what you do. Or others, As soon as Thanksgiving ends, your playlist is filled with Holiday tunes and you’re ready to rock them at any moment!
I think what makes holiday songs so fun and special for listeners is the fact that many of them are inspiring. They touch us….move us…..maybe even pick us up when we’re feeling like garbage. There are also fun ones that provide and outlet for us to feel like kids again. The way we were when we came down the stairs early in the morning and headed for the tree to see if Santa left us our favorite toy or video game!
For those of us with kids, it’s also pretty cool that so many songs have lasting appeal. Whether they are the traditional originals or new hip covers, it’s fun to share the happiness a Holiday tune provides with our children.
And of course, what Christmas party is complete without holiday tunes. Don’t forget DHA will be bringing you our Non-Stop Rockin' Christmas to keep the party going! So, keep it locked on your favorite station to hear your Christmas favorites.
I thought what might be fun today was to take a look at some cool Christmas tunes from rocking bands that you might not be as familiar with. Whether it’s their own spin on a holiday classic or a brand new entry into the Christmas catalog, maybe one of these will make your playlist this season and get you either feeling positive and hopeful….or just like a kid again. Maybe even both!!!
With so many, and I do mean sooooooooo many holiday songs to choose from, this is just a really small list of some cool ones to check out. I invite you to go out and find your own favorites. And again, keep 105.5 WDHA on your radio or smart speaker for our Non-Stop Rockin’ Christmas.
Here’s some cool tracks that might make your holiday playlist:
O HOLY NIGHT - WEEZER
Starting of slow and mellow, this one gets the Weezer treatment and it feels so good!
ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTAMS IS YOU - MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE
It's hard to keep that edge while trying to have fun at the same time. Hell, it's even harder to cover Mariah Carey, but MCR manage to do a bang up job!
CHRISTMAS TIME (DON'T LET THE BELLS END) - THE DARKNESS
This is just a fun band. They have such a cool sound at this one was released near the peak of their popularity - it sounds awesome!
JINGLE BALLS - KORN
Alright, so this one isn't as fun. But you at least have to hear KORN do a death metal version of this classic. Unique to say the least!
RUN RUDOLPH RUN - LEMMY, BILLY GIBBONS, DAVE GROHL
Yep, it's as fun as it sounds. With that raspy voice and cool drumming from Grohol - this one is a great rendition of an already awesome Christmas tune!
