Christmas Carol/rant?

[BILLY D.]

ANY COUNTRY MUSIC FANS OUT THERE?

JUST GOT DONE LISTENING TO THE SONG "CHRISTMAS CAROL" BY SKIP EWING. I HATE THAT SONG. EVERY TIME I HEAR IT I CRY.

ACTUALLY IT'S A GREAT SONG AND IT TOOK A LOT OF FEELING TO WRITE AND COMPOSE, PERHAPS TOO MUCH SO. ONE OF THOSE SONGS THAT JUST GRABS YOU BY THE THROAT AND CHOKES YOU UP.

I JUST WONDER HOW MANY LITTLE "CHRISTMAS CAROLS" THERE ARE OUT THERE? SURE MAKES A PERSON WANT TO DO SOMETHING TO HELP A LITTLE ONE AT CHRISTMAS. AFTER ALL IT'S NOT THE KIDS FAULT THEY ARE ALONE AT CHRISTMAS OR ANY OTHER TIME OF YEAR AFTER ALL. THEY DIDN'T ASK TO BE BORN TO BONEHEADS. SO THEY ARE BORN OUT OF AN ACT OF LUST RATHER THAN AN ACT OF LOVE.

I HAVE TO TRY TO DO SOMETHING SPECIAL THIS YEAR FOR A LITTLE ONE. DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WILL BE YET, BUT I'LL COME UP WITH SOMETHING. MOST KIDS AREN'T INTERESTED IN THE MATERIAL THINGS, AT LEAST THE "CHRISTMAS CAROL" TYPES AREN'T. THEY TAKE THE TOYS OUT OF THE BOXES AND PLAY WITH THE BOXES. THE TOYS ARE SECONDARY. THEY WANT A HAND TO HOLD AND A WARM BODY TO READ OR TELL THEM A STORY. THEY NEED A COMMITMENT AND LOVE. AND A DREAM THEY CAN BELIEVE IN.

WELL DON'T KNOW YET WHAT I'LL DO, BUT YOU CAN BET YOUR SWEET PATOOTIE IT WILL BE SOMETHING.

LETS REMEMBER ALL THE LITTLE "CHRISTMAS CAROLS".


BEST WISHES
