"I feel strongly that the essence of Charlie Brown is premature existential despair and world weariness..."

"and both this song and the holiday special give you an inaccurate idea of the Charlie Brown ratio of despair to maudlin moments of transcendence. Then again, there’s a sort of evocative melancholy in this song that’s making me regret placing it here, scores of slots below 'Dominick the Donkey.' Eh, it’s probably fine."

Writes Alexandra Petri, explaining her placement of "Christmas Time Is Here" at #80 on "A ranking of 100 — yes, 100 — Christmas songs" (WaPo). 

I found her reasoning very amusing, throughout. Maybe you don't have access to WaPo, but — if you have Spotify — here's the whole list:

 

The numbering is backwards though. "Little Drummer Boy" isn't #1, as it looks on this list. It's #100, and Petri "cannot stand it. Nothing will fix it, even the application of David Bowie to it. Every year I say, 'I hate this song,' and every year people say, 'Have you heard David Bowie’s version?' Yes. Yes, I have. It is still an abomination."

Speaking of objecting to David Bowie, earlier today, before encountering Petri's list, I was watching the trailer for the new Paul Thomas Anderson movie, "Licorice Pizza," and...

... David Bowie was getting on my nerves. The song is "Life on Mars," which — did you know this? — is said to express Bowie's irritation with the song "My Way" (after Paul Anka's lyrics were selected over Bowie's in making an English-language version of a French song for Frank Sinatra). 

You see the contrast with the bombastic pride of "My Way." As Bowie put it: "I think [girl with mousy hair] finds herself disappointed with reality... although she's living in the doldrums of reality, she's being told that there's a far greater life somewhere, and she's bitterly disappointed that she doesn't have access to it."

And isn't that what Christmas is all about?

Thus articles "I feel strongly that the essence of Charlie Brown is premature existential despair and world weariness..."
