Girls holdin it down.
Never seen or heard this one before. From the 70s? Strange.
They said there’ll be snow at Christmas
They said there’ll be peace on earth
But instead it just kept on raining
A veil of tears for the virgin birth
I remember one Christmas morning
A winter’s light and a distant choir
And the peal of a bell and that Christmas tree smell
And their eyes full of tinsel and fire
They sold me a dream of Christmas
They sold me a silent night
And they told me a fairy story
‘Til I believed in the Israelite
And I believed in father Christmas
I looked to the sky with excited eyes
That I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn
And I saw him and through his disguise
I wish you a hopeful Christmas
I wish you a brave new year
All anguish, pain and sadness
Leave your heart and let your road be clear
They said there’d be snow at Christmas
They said there’ll be peace on earth
Hallelujah, Noel be it heaven or hell
The Christmas we get we deserve
Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you had/are having an enjoyable day!

This guy recently died. Another underrated talent. No strain on that deep and rich voice. Makes it look organic and easy.
You can just scroll to like midway point of video. Mainly, Paul Harvey just talking about the movie and how they didn’t care to renew the rights so TV got to air it for free, which is why it became so popular, as it did not really succeed at box office.
I always wanted to do it, but never did, which is run thru a town like a maniac shouting Merry Christmas at everyone like George Bailey. If you ran around screaming Merry Christmas every morning, you’d be in great fitness physical condition I think.
Did you have a great Christmas? I was not much in the spirit, but for the first time, I accepted an invite from strangers to go over and eat with them. An older couple. Great stories. No sports. It was awesome. Guy talked about his family and some of his past. One thing social media did was eventually, I got more into people from all the streaming shows I’ve watched than celebrities.
“Charlie Brown Christmas” – The Early Stage of Censorship 60 yrs Ago
Think censorship and push-back are new?
Did you notice in your life how they tried to bully and intimidate you about a greeting? About a term that was used normally in your countries?
Being polite and accommodating did not work. Tolerance only led to these types of accusations and them being offended, and really, it’s not the term they want replaced, but westerners themselves.
