There are few songs in the materialist state of Christmas that really speak to the ideas of what the Holiday could be about. Two songs that really remind me of this fact are Bill Withers' "Let Us Love", and Motown's standard "Someday at Christmas". Though songs shrug off the traditions of Christmas music, both in tone and content, they also speak to a challenge that lies before even the most ...

Its poster would probably not make for such a cheerful video (though it does have that awesome vintage font). Those Dancing Days: Home Sweet Home...
It's okay though.
