What has happened to the hallowed, traditional Christmas songs of yesteryear? As a boy I remember meditating on the deep significance of Christmas while listening reverently to "Jingle Bell Rock" and "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," but do Johnny Mathis and Brenda Lee get knighthoods/damehoods? Noooooo.

Thank God (sic) that the Anachronisms have continued this tradition of fine Christmas music with "I Got My Mistletoe Working." As I listened to this song on Christmas Eve in the company of both my wives and our children, I experienced an even deeper awe at the profound meaning of our traditional Christmas symbols, such as the annual Anachronisms Christmas disc.

Dulcimer Zither, another member of The Anachronisms, was later heard to suggest that something should also be done about everyone associated with "Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time", by Paul McCartney, but allowed that exile from the planet Earth might be enough for these people.
