(Something About) Christmas Time
Bryan Adams, 1985 \u2014 I told you there\u2019d be Bryan Adams. In a shining example of the over-wrought power balladry that made your sister cry in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, who else (besides perhaps Adam Sandler) would have absolutely no problem belting out lines like \u201cTo see the joy in the children\u2019s eyes/The way that the old folks smile/Says that Christmas will never go away\u201d? It\u2019s that rare combination of glittering generalities and queasy sentimentality that earns Bryan Adams his rightful place as chaplain aboard the SS Holiday Cheese.
