Every year about this time, I post about Christmas music. Here I go again.
I like Christmas music. I manage to refrain from playing it on my iPod until Advent begins. Once that first Sunday of preparation and waiting dawns – away I go!
This year, after attending the Bring Leonard Peltier Home in 2012 Concert that he co-hosted with Pete Seeger, I purchased my first Harry Belafonte CD – a CD of Christmas music. I had known of Belafonte’s incredible commitment to social justice. Now, through the lens of Christmas, I appreciate him as an artist.Two Christmas songs I have to hear over and again at this season are:
“Christmas in the Trenches” by John McCutcheon
“The Rebel Jesus” by Jackson Browne
How about you? What music speaks to you at Christmas?
See you along the Trail.
