It was never ment to be a xmas song. They literally stuck the bells in as a last minute thought when they relased it at xmas time. |

Very. There's something about choral singing that's very moving when done well and that was done well.

It was written about Tony Mortimers brother Ollie who committed suicide.
Not a Christmas song per se, but an emotional piece of work.
The story will resonate with a lot of people, at Christmas in particular.
Which kinda makes it a Christmas record.

I mean, 2000 Miles is about the guitarist of The Pretenders who died young. That's not very festive, it's only a Christmas song because Christmas and snow is mentioned so let's ban that too.
Sarcasm. I love that song. |

If we're being purists and talking about celebrating the birth of Christ, alot of what we do at Christmas has nothing to do that, most of its pagan or 19th/20th Centry additions. I get that Jesus recieved presents but not under a tree, and there was a distinct lack of snow. Absolutely no wearing of silly jumpers and getting rat-faced. If we took away all the non-Christmas 'Christmas' things, there'd be barely any Christmas - just a few prayers, carols, 3 gifts and back to work the next day.
But yeah, not a song about Christmas but like trees, snow, cards, booze and over-spending, it's now very much associated with the festive season. |
