#123 – Happy Xmas (War Is Over)

Happy Birthday Jimmy Buffett! I did not want to let this holiday season pass without wishing you a big, beautiful, happy heavenly birthday. And it only seems fitting to share a song from one of Jimmy’s two Christmas albums, and honestly, the song came easily to me. It’s become a Christmas classic with a subtle message of love, peace, and nostalgia. Happy Xmas (War Is Over) is the perfect song to share for this occasion.

“So this is Christmas and what have you done, another year over, a new one just begun…”

#75 – A Sailor’s Christmas

When I first shared A Sailor’s Christmas from Christmas Island back in November, I didn’t pick a specific date. As a matter of fact, the date seemed to pick itself. I was wrapping up the tribute that started very organically when I was shell-shocked and deeply mourning Jimmy’s passing, and the date didn’t matter at all to my choices. I knew I wanted to share something from one of his Christmas albums, and also a song that he had written. I knew I had a song I wanted to end with, and so the Christmas song just fell into place the day before that.
