AND OTHER SUCH 'HOLIDAY DRIVEL'....THOUGH SOME I ADMIT ARE CUTE.
I recently turned 71 and if you had told me in my 40s that such holiday tunes would have dominated the airwaves I'd have said you were high on drugs. (BTW we did have marijuana back in those olden days).
My favourite, and according to my wife...our son Scott's favourite too is Silent Night. To me that is the quintessential carol ever written. But I guess today's media know better.
I do have to wonder why in this age of diversity, it is the olde traditions that keep falling by the wayside. One gets the feeling that the only victim of diversity will be diversity itself.
Christmas is another example. Happy Holidays is what has replaced it and the other day I saw even saw Happy December. It stirs the soul....there I go again ...another bygone term.
So I'd like to wish each of you a very Merry ....? Whatever.
As I turn on the radio for the latest number one Seasonal Song...Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas Is You. It doesn't get any better than that !!
Or Does It !!!
As I See It,
