i listen to a couple of ALL Christmas ALL the time stations on Satellite radio right now... first of all, most of the Christmas songs I grew up with like O Come all Ye Faithful and We Three Kings are played rarely while we get Mariah Carey and All I Want for Christmas 6 times an hour.... Second is that I notice just how many songs talk about snow, or watching snow.. or walking thru snow... or wanting snow... or wishing for snow... or dreaming of snow. I can honestly say that a "white christmas" would be a disaster here where I live. I get one day off for Christmas. That is Christmas Day.For me to spend it cooped up in the house, fingers crossed that the power and/or cable doesn't go out, wondering how I will get to work (cause failure to get to my job no matter WHAT the conditions are is me having to use personal or vacation time) the next day is not how I want to spend Christmas. Sure, time spent with my wife and twins would be awesome. But I am for sure NOT dreaming of a white christmas.
Seriously... if you have to use a horse driven sleigh to get from point A to point B would mean a pretty serious ICE Storm/Snow storm in these parts. Not thinkin that would be a pleasant Christmas for me.And the kids wouldn't get that socalled benefit of no school either...
just sayin'... I'll take Away in a Manger or O' Little Town of Bethlehem over 37 versions of Jingle Bell Rock, The Chipmunk Song or 6 repeats of Mariah Carey anytime.
although I have yet to hear Snoopy's Christmas. I actually DO want to hear that.
