The Cher tree is up with a new, sturdier nativity.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also time to link to my Massive Christmas Playlist(s). It was a pleasure, (a pleasure!), to add three of Cher&#8217;s <em>Christmas<\/em> songs to the list. Now Cher is officially ON my massive Christmas Playlist.\u00a0 And her songs add some happy and fun to the blend.<\/p>\n<p>You can listen to the playlist on <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/playlist\/1pA9CBsyVbJQe0luv69EMD?si=269ed4fb9f7f44c3\">Spotify<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/tidal.com\/browse\/playlist\/39f28319-c1f9-4250-b417-d5cd194f2c9c\">Tidal<\/a>. Usually I plug the Tidal version of my playlists because <a href=\"https:\/\/www.soundguys.com\/tidal-vs-spotify-37120\/\">Tidal pays artists more per stream and has HiFi.<\/a> But there&#8217;s one song that&#8217;s suddenly missing from the Tidal list this year. (Tidal displays those songs grayed out.)<\/p>\n<p>And so this troublemaker is making the Tidal list sub-par this year. Thus, I have to recommend listening to the Spotify mix this year instead.<\/p>\n<p>Harumph. There&#8217;s always one.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, Cher said in one of her interviews, (excerpts post coming shortly), that she didn&#8217;t want to do a Christmas Special this year due to the writers and actors strikes (going on at the time of the interviews). Fair enough. I support that. But this just means we can start dreaming for next year!<\/p>\n<p>Idea&#8217;s for next year&#8217;s possible Cher Christmas special:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Cher dressing up as Mrs. Claus. That would be fun and adorable. A little feminist spin on the North Pole maybe.<\/li>\n<li>Cher showing us her favorite <em>Sonny &amp; Cher Comedy Hour<\/em> and <em>Cher<\/em> show clips with maybe some behind-the-scenes dish.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0New Christmas skits and other Christmas-song-singing musical guests. And because everyone has done at least one Christmas song or an album or two, that&#8217;s like possibly everybody.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>(See? It writes itself!)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherscholar.com\/cherblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/gregory-porter.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-6187\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherscholar.com\/cherblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/gregory-porter.jpg?resize=300%2C200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherscholar.com\/cherblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/gregory-porter.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherscholar.com\/cherblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/gregory-porter.jpg?resize=676%2C451&amp;ssl=1 676w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherscholar.com\/cherblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/gregory-porter.jpg?w=720&amp;ssl=1 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Finally, I know we&#8217;ve all been listening to Cher&#8217;s new Christmas album non-stop over the last few weeks, but there are actually other 2023 Christmas album releases this year and although I surely won&#8217;t be able to listen to them all before the end of the year, there are a few I have listened to and I would like to mention the new Gregory Porter Christmas album,\u00a0<em>Christmas Wish,<\/em> which is very good.<\/p>\n<p>Every song is great, but there are some very timely songs included considering this troubled year, like &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Oehv5uKx9Gw?si=GVBEDrFtqKNO-jzW\">Everything&#8217;s Not Lost,<\/a> and &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/y4bAQHIM5CM?si=Xc-YUO3fGIrX6_8B\">Someday at Christmas<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>His song &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/XHIwCTLe_ns?si=K_G1SKXby7Xk0pO1\">Christmas Wish<\/a>&#8221; is probably the best song with that overly-sentimental title.\u00a0 After listening to it, you may want to kiss your mama if she was one of those who could turn Christmas into a magic time (as my mother could).\u00a0 Porter does a very good duet-version of Ella Fitzgerald&#8217;s\u00a0 great song, &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/4kr2ROpWV4k?si=d9PYwAmFB25Bk8lI\">What Are You Doing New Year&#8217;s Eve?<\/a>&#8221; (I also love Patti LaBelle&#8217;s sparkly version.)\u00a0 Not many artists every take on the Peanut&#8217;s Christmas theme, &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/7SLQ28hgkDg?si=uVNR_JbOA6QZyKk_\">Christmas Time is Here<\/a>,&#8221; except jazz artists like Porter.\u00a0 So that&#8217;s nice.
