It's that time of year . . .
In my previous post, I quoted the lyrics to two of my favorite Christmas carols.As soon as I finish this post, I am going to put up Christmas decorations (sans arbre). As such, I have the requisite Christmas-only radio station playing in the background and a candle burning with appropriate holiday scent.
But I am taking this moment out of my day to discuss how many utterly annoying Christmas songs there are out there. And there are variations to the pet peeve - some songs are and will always be annoying (Feliz Navidad); some songs are okay to listen to a couple of times each season, but seem to be replayed on the hour and quickly lose their appeal (Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas; The Chipmunks' Christmas Song); and some songs are lovely, but have some truly horrid versions out there (contrast Josh Groban's rendition of O Holy Night with almost anyone else's).
And why is it that the radio stations play the same songs over and over and over? I was in the car a total of maybe 45 minutes yesterday and heard 4 versions of Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas and 3 versions of Silent Night. There have got to be literally thousands of appropriate songs for this time of year, and I have yet to hear a single version of some of the best.
Thus, as I am typing this little blog, my computer is busy burning a cd of my favorite selections from my various Christmas cds so that I can listen to "only the best" on this otherwise merry day.
Stepping off my soapbox, and storing it away for another day. . . .
