Eva’s Byte #342 – If the Song Fits
When James Pierpont composed “Jingle Bells” in 1857, titled “One Horse Open Sleigh,” he intended it to be a Thanksgiving song. Its popularity around Christmas time influenced a title change to “Jingle Bells” in 1859.
Then, there’s “Alice’s Restaurant,” Arlo Guthrie’s Vietnam War protest song based on how the draft board rejected him for having a criminal record from illegally dumping trash on Thanksgiving. Supposedly, some radio stations make it their business to play the song on Thanksgiving.
During my elementary school days, “Over the River and through the Woods” catapulted me to the forefront of Thanksgiving.
The point is, the lyrics of many songs are generic enough to strike a chord with our own perspective and unique set of circumstances.
Given the various connotations of the word “home,” Kenny Loggins’ “Celebrate Me Home” fits into my upcoming Thanksgiving holiday.
*Whatever song fits your holiday mood, embrace the lyrics as your own.
My sincere appreciation if you’ve read this far.
