Project 365 Day #341

“Getting Ready for Christmas Day” from the album So Beautiful or So What, released in 2011

Here is another one of those songs that speaks to the hardships just as much as it speaks to the fun of Christmas. Of course it found its way to this list.

I mean, I get it, Paul Simon, I too feel like:

From early in November to the last week of December

I got money matters weighing me down

Oh the music may be merry, but it’s only temporary

I know Santa Claus is coming to town

But also, like:

If I could tell my Mom and Dad that the things we never had

Never mattered we were always okay

You know?
