With Someday at Christmas, Stevie Wonder applies his inimitable vocal technique to yuletide songs, some familiar, some not, with predictably successful results.
In the title song he yearns for a Christmas when "Men won't be boys/playing with bombs like kids play with toys," striking a plaintive tone not usually found on Christmas albums.
Although he is hopeful that the day will come, he sings that it may not happen any time soon.
The song seems eerily prescient in light of the chaotic year that would follow, Christmas 1967, when this record was released.
