Popular Culture 20101224: Doc’s Favorite Christmas Songs Updated
I was going to write on a completely different topic, but decided that some Christmas music would be appropriate, since I often write about music here. Most of the songs are either from my childhood or from comparatively long ago. I have no “new” favorite Christmas songs.
What I intend to impart is just this: Christmas is a legal holiday in the United States, but is also a time for people of any, or no, faith to come together and celebrate family and friends. I care not a whit if you are Jewish, Wiccan, Muslim, Sikh, Christian, Shinto, Taoist, Buddhist, a believer in Confucius, or any other religion, or none at all.
In the United States, Christmas is recognized officially, for good or ill. If all of the great religious can agree about anything, it is good will towards everyone. With this in mind, please enjoy with me a bit of music that sort of makes the season for me.
