There's just enough time left in the Christmas season to turn some of the biggest hits of the 1970s into seasonal songs of glad tidings.
Reindeer Keep Flyin' Overhead - "...and just like the elf whose feet are too big for his bed..."
Bridge Over Troubled Waiter - A song of comfort for waitstaff stressed out by all the corporate holiday parties
The Long and Winding Lights - "...that are tangled 'round my tree, will never all be lit, they just don't work for me, no"
Fire and Rein - The only two things that seem to have an effect on Rudolph's behavior
You Light Up My Tree - "...with lights red and green"
Joy to the World - "Jeremiah was a reindeer. Was a good friend to all. I never understood a single word he said as he took me to the mall."
How Can You Mend a Broken Toy - A lament by the Bee Gees
Thank God I'm a Drummer Boy - "When the work's all done and the sun sets low, I pull out my sticks and I really let it go"
Midnight Camel to Bethlehem - One of the wise men had a girlfriend he left behind. This is her song.
Cat's in the Manger - "And the cat's in the manger with no silver spoon; the little boy king's gonna grow up soon"
