In the spirit of the holidays I have a little present for all of you: two MP3s I encoded of the two best songs from the Rugrats Holiday Classics! CD, along with the lyrics as printed in the CD's liner notes.

* Rugrats Chanukah (inspired by Chanukah, Oh Chanukah)
* Twelve Days Of Rugrats (inspired by The Twelve Days Of Christmas)

These two songs feature RGB/EGB cast members Tara Strong as baby Dil, Kath Soucie as Phil & Lil, and E.G. Daily as Tommy.

I zipped up the two MP3 files and the two lyrics files and uploaded them to RapidShare. You can download them here (the link will only be good for 30 DAYS since the last download):

I originally encoded these especially for Doreen Mulman (hence why there's a readme.txt file written personally to her in the zip file), for use on the official Tara Strong website, but she doesn't seem to be interested in using them, so rather than letting them go to waste, I decided to post them here.

[Update 12/18/2005: Thankfully Doreen is alive and (presumably) well. She sent out the Tara Strong December (E-Mail) Newsletter on 12/17, in which she included a link to the Rugrats songs. So now I know that she *was* interested in using the songs, although in the newsletter and not on the site. (She probably doesn't have time to html code pages for the site so the newsletter was probably the easiest thing for her to do right now, and I can certainly understand that. I thought about deleting the message here, since I made the files for her site and not mine, but decided to just leave the message as it (save for this update), since I figured that the more people the songs reach, the better.]

In case you read this Doreen, I hope that you're doing ok. I haven't received any e-mail personally from you since the end of October, and I've only received two mailing list e-mails since then. I've sent many e-mails to you in the past month and a half, including the one with the Rugrats songs which I sent over a week ago, but have never received a reply to any of them. I send you a holiday package last week, which the post office confirms was delivered to you last Saturday. I thought that I would have gotten a quick e-mail from you about it, but so far nothing. I'm really worried about you and hope that your health hasn't taken a turn for the worse.
