The year the thread started, I had a baby and all I could think of when I heard the song was, "Doooon't wake up that baby!"

With Jesus being a baby boy (I swear that boys are all such light sleepers), I keep picturing Mary's mental reaction when the drummer boy asks if he can play for them.

It's a conundrum - both man and divine, so which side wins out when awakened by a cow?

Yeah, but technically, we're talking fully human and fully divine, and in my experience, any fully human newborn is going to cry.

Meanwhile, add to my least-favorite list anything by Pentatonix.

"I'll Be Home for Christmas" makes me sad as well. When I was in first grade, I was chosen to read in our Christmas pageant. After that song played, I had to read this line, which I have hated for the past twenty-eight years:

"Everyone dreams of being home for Christmas, but some can only be home in their dreams."

It always made me feel very guilty and sad and I promised to always be home for Christmas...until last year, when my fiancé and I went to Paris for the holidays. That song came on in one of the restaurants and I was MIZ.

That song is seriously sad - it's what "Blue Christmas" tries to be, to some extent.

I now hate all "All I Want For Christmas" type songs - they make me reflect that,yeah, all I want in the world is my niece back. So, ugly crying ensues.

"Blue Christmas", strangely enough, is one I never liked, but now I do.

Grief - it changes things.
