How Come Ya Don't Hear "Winter Wonderland" & "Let It Snow" After Xmas?

[stopbush]

There's nothing in the lyrics to those songs that mention Xmas, yet once Xmas is over, you don't hear them any more.

Seems like they should be getting lots of play in the NE these days.

:shrug:

1. Probably because it's a christmas song?

Don't take life so technically, you'll miss out. ;)

3. Don't take my post so seriously or you'll miss out.

4. Here in Dallas, we almost never get snow after December

We'll get some ice, sure, but snow? Try Sherman or Wichita Falls.

5. actually, I just heard "Baby It's Cold Outside" at an outdoor mall here in L.A.

and at first was jarred, then realized -- wait, it's only about cold, not, specifically, Christmas...

6. Because right after Christmas, everybody gets all grumpy about STILL having to deal with snow and

doesn't want to hear about how "delightful" or "wonderful" it is any more. Enough is enough, dammit. Christmas gives you time off with your family, presents, and good food. January gives you tax season and higher heating costs out the wazoo. Fuck that.

Also, snow and freezing weather is anything but delightful when it overstays its welcome, chills you down to the bones (Arthur), thaws a little, re-freezes into a slick mess, gets mixed with sleet, and lays around rotting your house and drowning your lawn.

Fuck snow that hangs around that long. It's a fucking pain in the ass when it's like that.

10. That's what I remember from my decades living on the east coast.

The worst of winter always came in Feb-March. Oct - Dec might get cold, but the snow stayed away.

I live in SoCal now. It's raining today. Two days ago it was sunny and 97 degrees.

7. Are you questioning the true intent of playing these songs?

Good for you. :thumbsup:

These are Winter songs, not Christmas songs. Ditto for "Jingle Bells", "Frosty the Snowman", etc.

Admittedly, I'm sick of them all long before Dec. 25th, so I'm just arguing on principle. :evilgrin:

[we can do it]

8. Cause We're Freakin Sick of the White Shit?

13. Yep--after Christmas, winter can be over, as far as I'm concerned.

[we can do it]

15. Come On Spring Bring On the Flowers

9. Because even though they're not about Xmas, we hear them WAY TOO OFTEN in the fall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

11. There's a simple explanation

I go on a one-man jihad against every "seasonal" song and destroy every recording I can find of these execreble tunes. I hate them. I hate them a lot. I hate them with the burning passion of a thousand nuns. Those recordings have to be reconstructed every year from bits and pieces, which is why they sound worse and drive you crazier each year. And then I go and do it all again.

12. I think would be fun to hear those songs in AZ.

:hi:

[spanone]

14. or jingle bells....they are called 'seasonal songs

16. Actually, you can hear "Let It Snow" on those Campbell's Soup commercials all winter.

You know, the one where the snowman comes in the house, sits down to a hot bowl of soup and, as it eats, melts, revealing a boy underneath.

That's one of the oldest commercials currently on TV, too. Dates back to at least 1994.
