Ever notice how so many “Christmas” songs have absolutely nothing to do with the holiday?
Let’s look at some examples, shall we?
There’s the 1937 song, “I’ve Got My Love to Keep Me Warm,” sung here by the man who’s re-invented himself by performing tunes older than he is….Rod Stewart.
The late 40's brought us, "Baby It's Cold Outside," and many, many duets have been recorded, including Tom Jones and Cerys Matthews.
In 1945, Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne wrote a love song that never mentions "Christmas," done here by Celtic Woman.
Do you see a pattern developing here?
Songs about winter, bad weather, December.......suddenly they're Christmas songs.
But how do you explain this one?
It was performed........
During.......................
A thunderstorm....
Does it really matter?
Love 'em all.
