"The Ten Christmas Songs of Steve Pulaski"
Song #3: Daniel Brochu - "Baxter Day" (2000)
Arthur's Perfect Christmas
"Stop whatever you're doing, let me hear you say, 'today is Baxter day!'"
While "The Ten Christmas Songs of Steve Pulaski" has been plastered with unconventional Christmas tunes, "Baxter Day," an original song taken from the TV show Arthur's Christmas special Arthur's Perfect Christmas, is an ode to unconventionality. The song is named after the character Buster Baxter (voiced by Daniel Brochu), who sees his mom hustle and break her back to give him a great Christmas every year. Upset at her constant restlessness and evident dissatisfaction with the holidays, Buster creates "Baxter Day," a day leading up to the holidays that entitles them to just stay in their pajamas, have fun, and lounge around the house all day, not even having to leave the house or get out of bed. It's a day dedicated to him and his mom and reminds us that these kinds of "relaxer days" are what we all need. It also hails from my favorite Christmas special from one of my all-time favorite Television programs.
