Christmas Countdown — 1 Week
December 17, 2008Christmas Music — The Good
December 19, 2008Last year I looked at Christmas movies. This year, I'll turn my attention to Christmas music.
Tomorrow, I'll look at my favorites. Today, let's look at the ones I don't so much love.
5) Rocking Around the Christmas Tree: It's tedious. It's repetitive. It doesn't really rock. And if you do rock around the Christmas tree, you might knock the oprnaments off.
4) Santa Baby: It's a fun tune, but it has a very bad Christmas message Christmas is not about what you get. It's about the love you give.
3) Blue Christmas: Only the King's glorious voice could make this downer of a song even remotely bearable. No one else should be allowed to try.
2) Winter Wonderland/Sleigh Ride: Yes, I know they are different songs, but after a few weeks of listening, they start to blend together in my brain.
1) Christmas Shoes: It's maudlin. It's saccharine. It's bad theology. (Jesus does not care what your shoes look like. Yes! I know that for a fact.) Make it go away!
What are your least favorite songs?
