thank you for the best wishes mon ami
I totally agree that it's being commercialized and it pains me as much as the many to watch the many being aware of it yet they succumb to those propaganda and yes its true essence seem to be shadowed by that misrepresentation

I love songs that are meant for Christmas they are mostly about love, giving and receiving, sharing and caring and most of all love.... to its true essence !

unfortunately, I only get to see carolers back when there as a place here called Ravenstein, they have a very unique tradition back then .. I didn't know that the last time I went there would be my last time for they now stopped doing it for safety purposes ..there I could enjoy caroling groups of a mix of adult and kids who really CAN sing with costume and all.. I really miss that ..this year, we didn't get to go to the border which was supposed to be every weekend of December ..for Weinachtmarkten :( they also have some carolers there at times ..

luckily I have my own playlist of Christmas song in my utube channel that I could just play whenever I feel like it :)

Happy Holidays and A Much Blessed New Year dahlin! To you and Mr. Bleujay!
