The first track off Paul Simon's really great 2011 album So Beautiful or So What is not really about Christmas, but uses Christmas as a shared cultural experience, as a way to tie together the disparate feelings Paul feels about aging and mortality... but, you know, in a fun way. Maybe someday I'll not just enjoy it, but fully understand it.
