Why Can't Everyday Be Like Christmas?

Golf

I had been a week-end radio DJ a few years back and every time this year I would play Elvis's song, "Why Can't Everyday Be Like Christmas." I found it strange that many radio stations wouldn't play this record. Here was a JW playing a Christmas song while the believing Christmas radio stations wouldn't!

I brought this up at the coffee shop this morning and one contributor said, "its to true." Yes, when you listen to the lyrics it touches home. It would be a different world if people practiced human kindness, goodness and fellow feeling on a daily basis, why only Christmas? Are people really interested in peace and goodwill?

Being a DJ was just a hobby. In the course of those years I collected over 3000 45's and have them on file. Before my mom became a full fledged witness we celebrated Christmas, playing the record brought back memories.

Happy holidays everyone.

Has ANYONE heard this song? Wow, what kind of JW's were you? I got to do lots of things as a witness, but you guys seem like you were in a concentration camp. Are you sure we were in the same religion?

If Every Day Was Like Christmas Lyrics

(words & music by Red West)
I hear the bells
Saying Christmas is near
They ring out to tell the world
That this is the season of cheer

I hear a choir
Singing sweetly somewhere
And a glow fills my heart
I'm at peace with the world
As the sound of their singing fills the air

Oh why can't every day be like Christmas
Why can't that feeling go on endlessly
For if everyday could be just like Christmas
What a wonderful world this would be

I hear a child
Telling Santa what to bring
And the smile upon his tiny face
Is worth more to me than anything

How nice to have done that, Golf, and nice little anecdote too! Happy Holidays to you also.

I liked Elvis but don't recall the song, so thanks SIACN for posting the lyrics, I see why it would be sweet to hear. and how memories do come back.

Merry Christmas Golf and have a great New Year.

Thanks Bem & Seeitall. As the radio DJ I had full reins what music to play. It was an an interesting experience, but I had to move on.

Enjoy your holidays and good health to you.
