Rudolph has a Button Nose

Today I'd like to talk about Christmas music. Here in Dallas they have a couple radio stations that play Christmas music all of the time. I'm starting to notice a pattern here. Apparently the good Christmas music like Bing Crosby and all those other old dudes was done in the 50s. And then there have been about 100 other artists to cover those songs and try to make money off of it. I can't tell you how many versions of "White Christmas", "Rudolph"," Frosty the Snowman" and "Winter Wonderland" I've heard. I'm thinking about doing a version, but I'll mix it up. I'll make a song about Frosty the Reindeer who had a button nose and all the other reindeer made fun of him. Speaking of Frosty, I was always depressed about it as a kid. Here they all build a real live man and then he goes and melts on them. Talk about trauma. The cartoon does make him come alive again, but that death is terrible. No sacrilege intended but they should've called it "The Passion of the Snowman" instead of "Frosty the Snowman."

I only know of one station that is playing all Christmas stuff. I have noticed several are increasing their Christmas songs, though. I prefer the classic Christmas songs (from the 50's) done by the people you mentioned. I hate to hear Amy Grant or Celine Dion remake a classic. I recently heard Celine Dion doing "Blue Christmas." ????????? Why would she do that song? Elvis is rolling over...wherever he is.
Dad wouldn't let Stacie watch Frosty as a kid. She bad a breakdown when it showed him melt.
