Carol Told by an Idiot, 7

Sometimes we just notice on the calendar that Christmas is happening. Again. All matter of fact and what’s the big deal anyway.

Bethany Jung might be stalking you in “Christmas Again.” Percussive slow pop that keeps time to the year. That is that, as the kids say.

Tom Petty as well merely states that we are subject to “Christmas All Over Again.” A bit more perky, but he doesn’t really want to kiss those distant relatives.

D.D. and The Flakes seem to leave it more than take it with their Britfolk downer “Here It is, Christmas Again.” Some jollies, mostly melancholies.

Brian Hyland from 1967 troubadours “It’s Christmas Time Once Again.” But he’s a bit condescending about the finance companies and icy roads and carols. Social commentary rings out that time of year, heed the folk of it.
