Holiday song debate

[gwendolyngrace]

etakyma, as some of you may know, can be very opinionated about things.

Often they're things that make me shrug. Like commercials on TV. Or Christmas Carols. Sorry. "Holiday Songs." For several years now, at this time of year, every time there's a reference to or a version of "The Little Drummer Boy" in our midst, she regales me with how much she and her mother both hate this song.

Well, honey. NPR did a piece this morning on Holiday Songs:

And they lead off with how many people absolutely detest... you guessed it... The Little Drummer Boy.

Congratulations, lj user="etakyma">. Seems you're really not alone on this one.

She's definitely not alone. I loathe that song too. :P

Funny, my mother and I hasd a whole conversation over lunch yesterday about the NPR bit... Hee! (and she is much more militant about it than I am... We visited my grandfather and the TV was on and droning in the backgound and the Little Drummer Boy came on and she turned to us and said, "I almost got through the season without hearing that." she couldn't even turn it off as we were in the dayroom, and not in his room.)
