I have a real bee in my bonnet. I love Christmas carols and songs that are actually about Christmas, no matter how dated or corny.
What annoys me tremendously are songs played at Christmastime and called Christmas songs, when they're blatantly not. A bluesy song for example, with lyrics about having a sad Christmas because one's heart's been broken. That is NOT a Christmas song but still it gets airplay year in and year out.
I wonder with some cynicism, whether song-writers
put the word 'Christmas' in there just so their songs will get played at
Christmas for ever more. They won't be on my Christmas play-list,
that's for sure.
