Christmas songs are an eclectic lot. Maybe a bit like couples. If so, these two - my "other mom and dad" - are a carol as homey and familiar as Joy to the World or Silent Night. Solid and chock full of memories accumulated from years of use. Truth sung so many times you could glide over the words and miss the meaning. Until you pause and really take notice, lingering over the deeper meaning of the phrases, tracing the ups and downs of the music notes, savoring the beauty (in spite of imperfect voices) that sounds from all that harmonizing.
