Christmas Song Advent Calendar: Day 24
WOULD SOMEONE TELL ME WHO TOOK THE MERRY OUT OF CHRISTMAS?
Can you believe there’s only one day left until Christmas? It feels like just yesterday there were only two days left until Christmas. Time moves. Time is an unceasing force that will one day turn our skeletons to dust to be at best be studied by a strange future civilization and at worst absorbed back into the earth, erasing any sign we ever existed.
On the other hand, time makes Christmas come faster! You gotta weigh both.
Today, the penultimate song for you all is the very important “Who Took the Merry Out of Christmas” by the Staple Singers. Christmas songs basically come in four varieties: Sad, happy, religious, horny. This song covers at least the first two and possibly three!
It’s catchy as all get out. As you head to sleep with visions of sugar plums in your head, I wish you the best holiday you’ve ever had. EVER.
