Shall I play for you, pa rum pum pum pum,
On my drum?
We all have favorite Christmas songs we love to hear all season… and on the flip side, we all reach out to change the radio station when we hear our least favorite carols (perhaps for the fifth or sixth time).
The Little Drummer Boy hasn’t been one of my favorites. Maybe that’s because it’s not strictly Biblical, or because it’s the story of a child I could no longer identify with… until recently.
During this Christmas season, The Little Drummer Boy has elicited a strangely emotional response in me—even bringing me to tears.
