Okay - I actually like the song - it gives me a sense of what I have and that there are other people in the world who aren't as well off.
Also I thought Jesus was RESURRECTED in the spring. Correct me if I am wrong though.

not sure what that has to do with when he was born. He was born in the spring, and died in spring (or that could be wrong too).
But the point is, Christianity stole it's religious timeframe from the Pagans.

Because the holiday season is a time for shmaltzy music played in the background of hermetically-sealed malls while over-worked and under-paid people get into fistfights over the year's hottest toy.![]()
Posted by FeliciaDAJust had to give props to my girl MonkeyLuv. This was THE quote of the thread..... Bravo, bravo!!
I don't have much to add about the subject matter. As Don knows () I'm not a huge fan of holiday music on a whole. So really the shoe song doens't affect me one way of the other - I basically turn it off like I do most holiday tunes.
I know - bah humbug to me
Sorry , didn't mean to hijack the topic at hand! Me bad![]()

I can't stand the song b/c it's just so BAD!
I'll take John Lennon's Christmas-Peace-on-Earth song as a 'let's remember how fortunate we are and make the world a better place' type song any day over the offensive shoe song.

I did believe that he was born on christmas and died during the spring and was resurrected on Easter -
I brought this up because one of the other posters on this mentioned that he was born and died in spring.
Good Friday is supposed to be the day that marks when he was crucified on the cross.

And they are right. It is historically (not Bible based) believed that he was born in Spring.

You can hear her if you take a NYC cab!

Soooo.....back on the topic of depressing Christmas Music. The songs that make me cry are:
I'll Be Home for Christmas (especially the last couple years)
3000 Miles (The Pretenders)
Have Your Self A Merry Little Christmas (especially the James Taylor version)
Keep Christmas With You (from Christmas Eve on Sesame Street...yes, I'm 29 and I still watch that!!)
I just sit an weep under my tree!! Then I put on the Muppets version of the 12 days of Christmas and all is right with the world!!
5 Golden Rings...Ba-da-bum-bum!!
love the muppets christmas album. thats a classic.
also love 3000 miles, not really a christmas song, but very good.![]()

I don't like the song. I think it is melodramatic and was written to tug at the heartstrings.
I cried the first time I heard it and then I realized that they got me sucked in.

I wonder how much the holiday-suicide rate will increase due to this song??![]()

I agree that the music seems like it is everywhere, all the time... and if I'd suffered a loss as you did, I would be crying all the time as well
Hang in there - i cannot imagine what a difficult time this is for you!!!![]()

totally agree on all points. give me john lennon any day. 'shoes' is a schmaltzy tug at you to make you feel bad about what you have. i does get to me, but i try to not listen to it.
