its that time of year. The sun is dying, The shortest day of the year arrives soon, celebrated across all cultures, having various names and rituals. In some cultures an evergreen tree is brought into the home, festooned with various trinkets and made the centerpiece of the season.

to remember, to celebrate, to usher out the old, to welcome the new, we create music. Post your favorite in the niche genre. To get things started. A traditional music piece from twins who are not twins, whose name is not Cocteau. The Cocteau Twins, singing about Frosty The Snowman,

 

Thought I'd add, many people enjoy ham at Christmas. Some enjoy Wham at Christmas.
just remember you can't spell Wham, without Ham..

RIP George Michael

 

I believe in Father CHristmas, and so does Greg Lake

RIP Greg Lake

"Billboard estimates the song’s publishing has generated $800,000, but the original Elmo & Patsy master-recording version of the single has brought in $2.5 million through U.S. record sales and streaming over the years. Much of that goes to Sony’s Epic Records, to which Shropshire signed a distribution deal in the early ’80s, which meant the veterinarian lost control of the master recordings — and a lot of potential income. So Shropshire pulled a Taylor Swift-before-there-was-a-Taylor Swift and re-recorded the track under the name Dr. Elmo. The Elmo & Patsy and Dr. Elmo albums that contain the two different versions of the song have generated an additional $7.12 million-plus. And that’s not even counting TV, film and toy licensing."

I have a friend, she just turned 21, never heard of Genesis, so I gave her a copy of Carpet Crawler. She said it sounded like Christmas music. I wonder just how her past Christmas's were... anyhow to some people apparently this is a Christmas song.

now I thought it was about the kiddies (carpet crawlers) watching the saturday morning cartoons, til I read the lyrics. Its a bit darker than that, but its speaks the truth . You gotta get in , to get out...

 

somewhere between reggae and downtempo lofi with sugar sweet harmonies, the Cocteau Twins are walking in a winter wonderland.

 

Before he dropped acid, Brian Wilson penned this Beach Boys song from their Christmas Album. "LIttle St. Nick"

Too funny. Yeah I only saw link I posted for you because I had to lookup the movie after seeing that video you linked. I rarely comment on here and of all things I chose to chime in on.
