Last year, as you may recall, I blogged occasionally when a particularly offensive Christmas song came on the radio. As the local pop station has begun playing 24-hour christmas tunes (as of Monday) that time of year has come again.
Don't get me wrong: I'm not one of those Christmas grumps. I love the season. I love it when stores pull their Christmas stuff out and put it on display. To some it's a display of crass commercialism masquerading as participation in an ancient Christian holiday, but to me it's a display of crass commercialism masquerading as participation in an ancient Christian holiday with bright, shiny lights and catchy tunes and snow and that feeling that, yes, despite humanity, there is still good in the world today. I put up our outdoor Christmas decorations a week ago. The Christmas tree will likely go up Friday, if my wife sticks with her tradition.
It's just that sometimes a Christmas song gets to me, that's all.
This one, however, won't bug me:
