New Music: Christmas to Me by Don Murdock

Don Murdock is a country singer/songwriter who loves Christmas! Don was raised a Catholic and as a youngster has memories of attending Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve, of caroling door to door, and of Christmas concerts at school.

Like many Canadians he grew up with traditions of decorating Christmas trees and spending time with family and sharing Christmas dinner. He recalls fondly wonders and excitement of children on Christmas morning. And of course, he always remembers the true meaning of Christmas, the birth of a baby boy….

Over the past few years Don has seen these beliefs, these values he holds dear chipped away at by bureaucrats and CEO’s. Bit by bit and piece by piece, traditions he grew up are being dismantled and tossed aside.

Greetings like “Merry Christmas” being replaced with “Happy Holidays.” Christmas concerts and plays replaced with “Winter Solstice Celebratory Pageants.”

It is his opinion that by trying NOT to offend others by using traditional greetings we have begun to offend those who celebrate Christmas.

And do not tell Don he is buying a holiday tree when in fact he knows he is buying a Christmas tree!!

Christmas To Me is Don’s way of saying, celebrate what you want to. If you are celebrating Kwanzaa, then have a Joyous Kwanzaa. If you are Jewish, then Happy Hanukkah. And if you are celebrating the Christian holiday then Merry Christmas.
