I'll Be Experiencing Cognitive Dissonance for Christmas

Regardless of the time of year you visit Santa Fe, if you make the wise choice to dine at any of the scores of excellent Mexican restaurants scattered throughout the city, you'll likely be presented with the option of having your entrée smothered with a combination of red and green chile, and that option will be referred to as "Christmas." (You should always choose that option, by the way. Trust me on this.)

I bring this up because last night as we were driving home after coffee and dessert, one of the Christmas music stations on XM Radio regaled us with Winter Wonderland as interpreted by the Eurythmics, and among other questions (firmly planted at the top of the list was "why?") was idle speculation as to whether Annie Lennox's scalp at the time of the recording would have properly been referred to as "Christmas."
