I enjoyed the 3 hour Coca Cola infomercial that was Christmas In The Park last night. But I did learn something that irked me greatly.
Apparently they cut Snoopy’s Christmas to make time for an Abba medley.
WTHeck.
Snoopy’s Christmas is one of, if not the, greatest Christmas songs ever created. It’s 10% about Christmas and then 90% about WAR!
Nothing sums up the Christmas Spirit better than an epic song with this moral: on one day a year it is better to just hang out and have fun than kill a people because they are from a different country.
If anything, Abba encourages me to do the exact opposite.
So well done Coca Cola for a fun night that had little to nothing to do with Christmas (seriously, Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance? Really?). But I am disappointed that yet again I will have to make do singing Snoopy’s Christmas to myself while pretending to fly around my bedroom like a fighter plane.
