Moans from a liturgical purist

I’m a liturgical purist. This means that I forbid the playing of “Joy to the World” during Advent. It’s just so wrong. I won’t go so far as to say that it is a sin, but it’s pretty high up on the list.

Well, I was boppin’ along to Anita O’Day on last.fm, when suddenly Diane Schuur, whom I adore, comes on. Tune: The Christmas Song. Now it’s Rosemary Clooney singing it! Isn’t it bad enough that we’re subjected to Christmas music playing in the supermarkets the day after Thanksgiving?

The rule in my house is quite simple: Advent is Advent. Christmas is Christmas. No one would think of playing Easter music on Good Friday! Focus people. Focus!
