to dislike or disdain Christmas
music would be an attitude that few children could normally be born with or
grow into, though an adult, aggressive or passive, atheist or agnostic or not,
might come to take such a position. but it seems a bit like disliking sweets.
still, though it
seems certain that dear Bing Crosby was never troubled by any of history's
higher criticism of the Bible, nor of any esotericisms of a cosmic Christ, his
simple man of Nazareth -- well and sympathetically told in the first two minutes
of the recording linked here -- is a sleeping Christology, for he merely
accepts as truth the images and story he tells.
