Well,
in truth,
if you listen to this
in September,
chances are
you're all
messed up
in your
seasonal
calendar...!
And that is
making abstraction
of the oft-noted
(previously,
somewhere,
on our very own
TLB Prime
Network
here...!)
of the obviously
confusing
and
confused
Andy Williams
lyrics
of the song
in question
here...!
I mean,
"scary ghost stories"
are simply
NOT
part of the
Christmas
lore
or tradition!
COME ON,
ANDY!
No wonder kids today
confuse
Christmas
with Halloween -
Andy Williams'
singing of
"scary ghost stories"
for the
"most wonderful
time of the year"
didn't help
AT ALL...!
The confused
and way-too-eager
to sell out early
retail industry
doesn't either
with their displays
of Christmas
merchandise
side-by-side
with the
Halloween
crap
as early as
All-Saints Day -
let alone
All-Souls Day...!
Still,
I'll give you that much,
YouTube commenter:
listening to this in
September
or earlier,
does display
a merriment of heart
and pureness of soul
that the world at large
is in dire need of.
Listening to
"It's The Most Wonderful Time
Of The Year"
in the dawn of Fall
is actually rife with sense:
for Autumn is indeed
the best of both worlds
in North America,
where the song
obviously originated from!
Autumn is neither
too hot
nor too cold -
it is just right!
Hence it is the true
most wonderful
time of the year,
climate-wise
in those parts...!
And, under that perspective,
there is no pertinent season,
really, for them
"scary ghost stories"
or even for
Christ-mas -
for, in truth
it can be,
it should be
shared
all throughout
the year!
