Snoopy’s Christmas, as I’ve said before, is one of those songs that gives me real nostalgia. It takes me back to Saturday morning Santa Claus parades — those I saw on TV (via the CBC’s coverage of the JayCees Parade in St. John’s) and in-person in Eastport, near where I grew-up.
Parades don’t seem the same to me anymore, but I’m not sure they should. I mean, I’m an adult now — moments of child-like wonder are far fewer and much further between.
And when did the JayCees parade stop, anyway?
I digress; back to Snoopy.
This year my nostalgia is being sparked by a new version of Snoopy’s Christmas from The Irish Descendants. It’s a good one.
It appears on their brand new 2023 collection The Irish Descendants Christmas.
Check it out now.
More Christmas and Holiday Music from Newfoundland & Labrador
Stay tuned for more great Christmas songs from Newfoundland and Labrador.
I'm a big fan of traditional Christmas music, I love to hear a modern rendition of a 300 year old carol but, occasionally, a brand new song comes to my attention and dominates my Christmas listening. Newfoundland and Labrador's musicians have been holding their own in both regards. I’ll be sharing local songs —both old and new— from now until Christmas in my 2023 NL Music Advent Calendar.
Follow along on Instagram stories and get playlists here.
