christmas music is something heard in a sub-ambient fog while shopping for holiday merchandise. it is a soundtrack to commerce. but if you can subtract the commerce and return to your living space and actively listen you'll find protest. a chanting down of babylon by poor people trying to avoid war and dark age displacement. it is anti-imperialist, anti-war and always searching for hope. looking for a sort of savior to arrive and defend them from the kings & governments & armies and countless years of being exploited.
