Christmas CarolersI would like to know when someone decided the following were Christmas songs. They are not, and it is not debatable. Nor is it the ranting of some random Internet loon. It is fact. Much like Die Hard is Christmas movie.

  • My Favorite Things - I’m sure some marketing executive was lying awake at night, wonder how he could make Christmas more materialistic, when instead of visions of sugar plums, Julie Andrews spoke to him. “My favorite things… Buy me my favorite things.” Of course, asking for kitten’s whiskers is a little sadistic.
  • Angels Among Us - Yes, Angels are involved with Christmas, but they are heralding the birth of a king, not helping some kid who got lost taking a shortcut on the way home.
  • Canon in D - I have no idea why this song has been played as a Christmas song. First it was creeping into the playlists of weddings everywhere, and now it’s a Christmas song? My goal is to have it played at my funeral. Then maybe people will equate it with death and stop playing it at weddings and at Christmas.
