I was over it before it began. M and I were out driving yesterday and almost all of the stations were playing Christmas music. The weather was cold and overcast, houses along the streets were decorated, L sat in the back laughing all in all a really good day to be out and to be alive. Then it happened. Out of nowhere it came at us over the air waves. Something more hideous and tragic than you might imagine...a new Christmas song!

I am a big fan of the "classic" Christmas songs, Silent Night, O holy night, Jingle Bells, Blue Christmas, White Christmas, Santa Bring my Baby back to me, Rocking around the Christmas Tree, Christmas Time by Alvin and the Chipmunks and so on.

I like new versions of the classics performed by Elvis, Chris Isaak, and almost any other artist who wants to put out a record around the holidays but please, please do not try and write a new Christmas song and for heaven's sake don't ever play it on the radio!

I revert back to the incident yesterday. As I said, me and my family were accosted without warning, without notice. The radio was up as we had just finished enjoying the previous song when out of nowhere the notes and lyrics filled the cabin of the car. Some man was singing about how he was at the mall, out of money, and Christmas wouldn't be the same because he couldn't buy Johnny a red train or something hokey like that. I don't want to hear some singer crying about crowded malls, late shipping from Amazon, or no parking places this year for Christmas. I don't want to know what Johnny will or will not be getting or why Sally has been such a brat. I don't care to hear about a Middle Eastern Christmas in the desert or about a lack of a white Christmas due to greenhouse effects and the capitalist pigs who have created it.

All I want for Christmas is the classic songs about faith, family, and fun, no politics, no dot com, no materialism just good family music.

Now I do like the song the 12 pains of Christmas. Click on the link and enjoy!
