HOLIDAY SPECIAL: Political Christmas Songs (ft. Caroline Elfland)
Episode 16
Wednesday, 30 December, 2020

Have a merry merry Christmas and a happy New Year. Let's hope it's a good one without any fear! Caroline Elfland returns to TRIT to discuss three Christmas songs: "Someday at Christmas" by Stevie Wonder, "Happy Xmas (War is Over)" By John Lennon and Yoko Ono, and "Do They Know It's Christmas?" by Band Aid. Paige and Caroline decide it is time to get rid of "Do They Know It's Christmas?" once and for all. Topics include the Vietnam War, Jesus Christ, Catholicism, bed-ins for peace, the "single story" of Africa, the white savior complex, and more. Happy New Year!
