It's December and as a devotee to all things Holiday I
thought I'd roll out some of my favorite Christmas/Winter music throughout the
month. Check back every day for tracks old, new, classic and unique. Happy
Holidays!
Celine Dion is a friggin' international treasure. She is literally the greatest thing to come from Canada North America this planet. Vocally, you cannot touch her. Hammertime.
Clearly the second hand cassette of her holiday album These Are The Special Times that I purchased at an antique shop was the greatest thing I've ever owned. (I also bought Amy Grant's Heart In Motion that day. The fates have blessed that day.) Even if you hate Baby Jesus, you still could not resist the power of Celine singing in English, French and Spanish. She covers John Lennon, how could your cold heart not melt in the presence of that much musical power?
And this triumph of the holiday spirit was written by Dee Snider. Yes, that Twisted Sister knows the power of Celine. "The Magic Of Christmas Day" is the only way world survived so many years without this angel on it's filthy, unworthy surface. This is the true meaning of Christmas.
