Sigh. Actually, only the first verse is Christmas-related, the rest isn't. A better song (of course) than most holiday standards, but a puzzling one to appear in the holiday mix coming out of the ceiling while shopping. ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2011 #737 ***************************** ------- To post messages to the list, send to joni@smoe.org.
