Last night, my wife started streaming Sisters, a new Canadian-Irish co-production. The first episode features The Pogues's version of Dirty Old Town.
That got me thinking about The Pogues, and I started singing Fairytale of New York. I thought to myself, "this is the only Christmas song I can enjoy in May!"
But that depends... Is Joni Mitchell's River a Christmas song? I can enjoy that gem 12 months a year.
River literally opens with Jingle Bells and has plenty of Christmas content. The story, without a doubt, takes place at Christmastime.
If River is deemed a Christmas song, there are two such songs I can enjoy in May. And yes, I realize this is the second weekend in a row I wrote about a song from Joni's excellent album Blue. Here's last weekend's brain dump about This Flight Tonight.
