Halloween is over—Thanks
Be to God.
Now the stores will
start running a loop of synthesized Christmas music through the overhead
speakers. Over and over. Shoppers will
unknowingly be inspired to shop “in the spirit of the season”. Or perhaps, they will quickly shop simply to
escape the store ; their decision making skills will be affected by the
thoroughly slaughtered versions of old favorites, and junk will fly off the
shelves.
I would like to
propose a new Christmas song.
When my oldest
daughter was about four years old, she would ask for everything and anything
she saw. We almost always said “no” and
told her that she could not have everything she saw. (She really hated when we did that.)
So here is my suggestion
for a new Christmas classic:
Yes, I know.
We sang only the chorus to our four year old. So edit the rest out and burn the chorus into the store music, and I think it could be acceptable.
Note: Do you know how many YouTube videos of Rolling Stones with Mick Jaggers singing this song exist? Culling through them was like watching a time continuum, with Mick and the band aging visually.
It is a Saturday and this somehow hung in my mind until I put it into a blog post. As John Gray@ Going Gently would say: Hey-ho.
