The Aquabats!, "Santa Claus's Party!" from the I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas Too! E.P. (Captain Thumbs Up!)
Commentary!: Welcome to Christmas with the R.B.D.S.O.T.D.! I'm pretty severe in wanting to observe Advent & standing athwart the ever-earlier celebration of Christmas. On Catholic Twitter this year, the discourse was about starting to listen to Christmas music ever before Hallowe'en, not just before Thanksgiving. Humbug, I say! But even I am willing to compromise. For those new to The Secret Base, this is the schema: secular Christmas music during Advent, from Saint Nicholas Day 'til Christmas Eve (6-23 December), except on the Sundays of Advent, then sacred Christmas music throughout Christmastide (24 December 2022-8 January 2023).
"Come on, everybody,This year, the secular Christmas music will coincide with our celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of Apollo 17, the ultimate Moon landing of that golden age &, as of this writing, still the most recent Moon landing. (Artemis I has been great, but we are still years away from the first planned Artemis Moon landing mission, Artemis III.)
To Santa Claus's party!
You may be sure both rich and poor
Are welcome at Santa's door…"
