Reference to Winter Wonderland was accidental. However, What Are You Doing New Year's Eve? is very intentional.
Hope you enjoyed!

Happy New Years Folks! Since this would have immediately ID'd me, I can go ahead and give you the history lesson for this:
"Blue Light Special" refers to an impromptu sales tactic that occurred at (and is often associated with) Kmarts in the United States back in the 1970s. Basically: some random item in store would be marked down for a short time and would be announced using blue light. Yes. Red bought that ring on sale at the Thrifty Megamart lol. I recognize that the Thrifty Megamart is a Costco analogy, but there's something a little schlocky, homey and warm about Kmart to me lol.
Also, did you know you can find archives of Kmart in-store muzak on the Internet Archive? Its such a good rabbit hole to dig into.
Anyway, thanks for reading! Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season!!
