I should have posted this yesterday. It really isn’t a Christmas song - although many think it is.
It has significance for some Buddhists. But that’s another story…
The magnificent Ode to Joy.
Happy New Years everyone!

A belated thanks (before the decorations come down, at least!) to @geodrew.bsky.social and @olgalovesyuri.bsky.social for running #ArtistFaveXmas - it was a real joy listening to everyone's choices, old and new.

EXTRA
New York's a Lonely Town - Trade Winds
The 1960s.....California.....Surfing! Plenty of songs in that decade celebrating those things.
Uniquely, this song explores the dilemma when surfboy's family move to New York. And it's NOT the Four Seasons!

Taking down the tree—Low
Ending as I began, with Low and the most perfectly melancholy song about the post-Xmas blues. That final harmony…💔
🤗 to @geodrew.bsky.social , @olgalovesyuri.bsky.social and all of you for giving my Xmas such a cool soundtrack
