Sunday Serenity #105 Christmas Songs

I love Christmas songs. They were a guilty pleasure every year all through my childhood. My family didn't celebrate Christmas and we were supposed to hold ourselves aloof from all the related hoopla and I did for the most part but I always found myself irresistibly drawn to the Christmas music on the radio: White Christmas, The Little Drummer Boy, Silent Night, O Little Town of Bethlehem, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Even though many of those minutes of listening on the sly were filled with equal parts guilt and glee, my memories of them are tinted with nearly 100 per cent serenity.
