Celtic Thunder - Celtic Thunder Christmas
Loving the CD so far. The DVD comes out on 11/22 and I'll be seeing the Christmas concert in Atlantic City on 12/4.
Pink Martini - Joy To The World 11/16
Really? Didn't know about that one. I saw them in Philadelphia a few years ago with a friend. I'll have to ask if she knows about this release.

"Of course, if this event has a specified ending time you'll want to have a copy of Christmas Shoes to clear the room!"
I'm going to see if I can get through Christmas without hearing that song. Sometimes it's hard because I'll be out shopping and it will start to play. I hate, detest and loathe that song.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

I've never heard that song--or if I have, I wasn't aware of it. I only hear about it.
How have I managed that?
#58Must Own Holiday Albums
Posted: 11/17/10 at 4:21pmThey usually only play it on the soft music stations around here. The song only reminds me now of how stupid the movie was and the ending made me mad.

You've never heard Christmas Shoes? It's the only Christmas song that manages treacly and creepy at the same time.
The premise is about a little boy who is out shopping. He is trying to buy his mother a pair of shoes for Christmas but he doesn't have enough money. Then they throw the fact in that his mother is on her deathbed. Part of the chorus repeats "I want her to look pretty in case she meets Jesus tonight."
It's creepy because you sort of get the sense that some adult figure sent the kid out of the house so he wouldn't have to watch the mother die.

Yowza!
Now watch: I'll probably hear it six times tonight.

Posted: 11/17/10 at 10:24pmOh how I loathe "The Christmas Shoes" I would rather listen to "Dominic the Donkey" 10 times in a row.

"...And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight."
I usually manage to block this song from my memory during most of the year, so it's like a brand-new affront the first time I hear it every year.

They even made a movie about it with Rob Lowe.
I would scratch my eyes out before sitting through that.

The comedian Oswalt Patton does a hilarious sendup of "Christmas Shoes" in his act (complete with cartoon visuals) where he deconstructs the song line by line.
Must See!

Posted: 11/18/10 at 9:28amThough I can only take holiday music in small doses, for my money, there's Karen Carpenter, and then there's everyone else.

Posted: 11/18/10 at 10:36amI am so thrilled that I have managed to make it through Christmas every single year without once having heard Christmas Shoes. It sounds like it's the Footprints in the Sand of Christmas songs. I'm afraid if I hear it, I may cause injury to myself or others.

Posted: 11/18/10 at 10:50amI've never heard the song, either. I only know of its existence from reading how everyone hates it, here on BWW. I really need to rectify that, this year.

This is a spoiler for the movie the Christmas shoes. If you don't want to know, don't read. If I spoiled the movie for you, oh well.
tazber-All you need to know about the movie is that the mother dies and Rob Lowe finds the kid's father in the graveyard at the end putting the shoes on her grave. He yells "hey" to the man as he leaves, and that's how it ends.

I forgot to mention that Christmas Shoes also uses the required "children's choir".
So we have a treacly Christmas song complete with children's choir about a little boy who is trying to buy shoes for a mother who needs to look pretty becaue she may be meeting Jesus tonight.

Though I can only take holiday music in small doses, for my money, there's Karen Carpenter, and then there's everyone else.
I agree. Well, for me, it's Karen Carpenter and Julie Andrews. The two opposite spectra of Heavenly voices. Karen's DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR? is definitive! Of course, Richard's arrangement of it is sublime.

"...a little boy who is trying to buy shoes for a mother who needs to look pretty becaue she may be meeting Jesus tonight."
Wouldn't a pair of sensible sandals be more appropriate?

I love Patton.
