How To Become A Zillionaire!

Ye Auld Christmas Song is a genre in itself.

Sleigh bell like sounds? Check. Children’s choir if possible? Check. Snow references? Check. Santa, Wisemen, Robins, and/or Reindeer? Check. Appropriate levels of either, a. Celebration, or b. Wistful Melancholy? Check.

There are a lot of these songs around. Some people hate them. But Humbug to them I say! I love them. As long as I don’t hear one outside of a 3 week period in December.

It is very hard to start a new “Specific Time Of The Year” genre of course. Alice Cooper tried it with School’s Out, but didn’t get very far. Although possibly he spawned the musical film Grease. Not sure. I wonder if he get’s any royalties on that?

Anyway, these are my business tips (because I know that’s what you read this blog for!) as we approach the end of the year and A New Beginning:

Write a Christmas hit! Or start your own Genre!

Come on you merry Homesongers! I believe in you.
