[78-L] Xmas Music

[Michael Biel]

In last week's Lexington (Ky) Herald Leader, it was voted as the #1 
favorite secular Christmas song by the readers.  One of the comments 
said that the song resonated in these hard times -- next year all our 
troubles will be miles away; someday soon we all will be together if the 
fates allow..
