I think if you want a song that’s
perfect (and also stretching) for the holiday season it should be Gloria Gaynor’s
I Will Survive. This song was about
surviving a breakup, but come the holidays it could symbolize surviving time
with family. Think about it, once a year you get together with family you choose purposely to see once a year and
spend an extended amount of time with them. An extended visit is more than 3
days. 3 days gives you time to catch up, after that, catch up on FB. If you
have guests that treat your house like a luxury hotel with you as the maid,
after 3 days give them a bill equal to the rates of a local luxury hotel and
you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how quickly they’ll leave. Here’s your coat. What’s
your hurry?
Christmas will come and go and
you would have survived shopping, baking, eating, parties, relatives with kids,
relatives who ask when you’re going to have kids, relatives who drink too much
and relatives who try stuffing the tree up the chimney because they drink too
much. You will sing I Will Survive till they leave and when you find the wallet
Uncle Sam (who spilt red wine on your white couch) left behind, you’ll have
reason to start singing ‘My Favorite Things.’
