Segue here into a different world. The world of Christmas Music. It is Thanksgiving and the local radio station is already on Christmas music since last weekend. I must admit that being this little jewish boy, I was weaker in my youth and of course stymied and intimidated by the season of Christmas a little bit. It was not for me of course and it was all over the place. That was ok, but that music was just too much for me at times. True some songs were fun and you did like alot of the melodies, but still, it was about the man we do not ascribe our beliefs and that was not really proper and kosher to me, right?
Well, I will inform you that for 3 years now, I am a Christmas music listener. Clearly not non stop for 30 days not at all, but here and there. And on the Day before Christmas and the day of the celebration, I will put it on though perhaps this year I will be ok with changing to my MP3s on my computer instead.
So let the festivities go ahead.
As for one good song I listened to this morning, it was the Little Drummer Boy. Always a song that left me choked up a little bit. I asked myself today, why do I get choked up. What does this little drummer boy represent? He represents an honest boy. That is what he is. The honesty of the boy is a pure substance. So that song will be a great song for anyone of course.
And the music plays on and I will enjoy the day.
Of course, I admit to you all that I change the words of the Christmas songs to suit my own personality or my own religious beliefs. Its fun to sing over jesus with something else. The people who love all the lyrics wont find this amusing, but I assure you its a fine past time indeed.
