Paul Sanchez Got Drunk This Christmas

The track, "I got Drunk on Christmas" after the jump.

Today's Events: August 14

Today in 1885, Japan issued her first patent... for rust proof paint. In 1908, the first beauty pagaent was held in Folkestone, England, and in 1935, Social security was inventing.
