North Bend's Twin Peaks Christmas Gifts Keep on Giving

Had enough of those treacly "Christmas in the Northwest" lyrics? Here's a change of pace.


Yep, that's a real (twisted) take on "The Twelve Days of Christmas," released exclusively to L.A. radio way back in pre-grungesploitation 1990. (And the voices are those of some of the show's actual cast. Can't mistake Kimmy Robertson's squeaky pitch.) The North Bend- and Snoqualmie-shot Twin Peaks clips are a more recent addition, but they remind us what a head-scratchingly wonderful present David Lynch gave us—courtesy of quaint, sleepy, sometimes creepy Northwest locales—all those Christmases long, long ago.

The Twin Peaks legend limps on in North Bend's Twede's Cafe, worth a visit if you're in the area during the holidays. They still offer a damn fine (well, mediocre, really) cup of coffee.
