First of all, we have never seen a <a href=\"https:\/\/mymerrychristmas.com\/x\/celebrating-20-years-of-the-merry-forums\/\">Christmas<\/a> with so much new music. That&#8217;s a good thing. We have also never seen a year with so much GREAT new music. And that is an even better thing.<\/p>\n<p>But never have we seen a year with so many poking fun at one thing. And this year it is all about the Covid <a href=\"https:\/\/mymerrychristmas.com\/x\/celebrating-20-years-of-the-merry-forums\/\">Christmas<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>We realize this is a coping mechanism. We realize as well that a good poke in the eye of something so awful is a healthy thing. We already realize that not every song about the Covid <a href=\"https:\/\/mymerrychristmas.com\/x\/celebrating-20-years-of-the-merry-forums\/\">Christmas<\/a> is a parody or an attempt at humor. Much of it is heartfelt.<\/p>\n<p>Whether all that is good or bad, I suppose, has to do with how you deal with it all. I think it is a healthy thing &#8212; all of it.<\/p>\n<p>But buried in the humor and the good-natured needling of a bad thing is actually some good music.<\/p>\n<p>Eclipse, who is a group that over the years has constantly evolved and even redefined themselves, consistently puts out good <a href=\"https:\/\/mymerrychristmas.com\/x\/celebrating-20-years-of-the-merry-forums\/\">Christmas<\/a> stuff. We have a great many additions from this group in our libraries that support our <a href=\"https:\/\/mymerrychristmas.com\/x\/a-glimpse-of-christmas-100-years-ago\/\">radio<\/a> streams. We&#8217;re fans.<\/p>\n<p>We will go on the record here and state that this fun song is good <a href=\"https:\/\/mymerrychristmas.com\/x\/celebrating-20-years-of-the-merry-forums\/\">Christmas<\/a> music. Not just for the good time they show us in the video but just because they&#8217;ve taken on a classic to spit in the eye of Covid.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you. I hate Covid.
