Sleigh Lady Sleigh: Bob Dylan Releasing a Christmas Album

It might seem kind of odd, but Bob Dylan is slated to release an album of Christmas songs this year. 

To me, that means: one of the greatest songwriters of the last century is lending his gravelly voice to mediocre Christmas tunes that have been done to death.  Among these:  “I’ll Be Home for Christmas”, “Here Comes Santa Claus”, and “O Little Town of Bethlehem”.

I don’t know about you guys, but as much as I love Bob Dylan, I’m not excited about this album.  I hate Christmas music, I hate that there are only like 10 songs that everyone just remakes over and over again, and I hate that no one ever writes any new songs.  If anyone could write us some new Christmas songs that we will be singing for generations to come, it’s Bob Dylan.
