My (not really my but i wish he was my) friend from Edinburgh, Liam Dryden reposted this from someone else on twitter and i thought it'd make a good title for a blog.
Hoorah! Christmas Eve! The day where me and my fam kinda just chill around and stare at gifts most of the time. and then at night we go to a location (lately it's been a hotel my Aunt works at) and eat food and relax and chat and, if you're me, there's a lot more relaxing and a lot less chatting. But i have so much more to talk about this year than last year! For instance: i moved out, got a job, and go to college. take that, silence. (sorry, i really thought it would be funny if i could make some sort of Doctor Who reference. and it pretty much was funny.)
Here's our adorable Charlie Brown Christmas Tree:
cute, huh? take that, commercially-sized tannenbaums. "How are all the presents that high?" you might ask. well, there happens to be a coffee table under them. but i felt it more artistic to leave that detail out. until after the picture was posted and i'd say it.
With it being Christmas and all, i figured i'd share some of my absolute favorite christmas songs that you don't hear ever day most likely. We'll just call it my Christmas gift to you.
(first off, i'd just like to force everyone to go to youtube (and by force i mean tell you, of course) and click the little snowflake button on the bottom of your favorite video and watch them fall and then try to touch them with your mouse! aww, youtube!! cute)
okay, number one is a favorite from my childhood. we would listen to this christmas morning while opening our "baby born baby born" or "sing-and-dance Angelica" or whatever. It's Riu Chiu done by the Monkees. They're so good!
okay, second is a good one if you wanna just jam out and have some good base going. It's What I Want for Christmas by Macy Gray. if you just want to listen to the song, that's okay. the video's not super fly anyway.
This next one technically is good for all times of the year, but i like it especially around Christmas time because it's about winter and it's just a sweet song. It's Valley Winter Song by Fountains of Wayne.
Okay. this one will get you in fits if you haven't seen or heard it before and this video definitely makes me go "wha??" and then chuckle and it's all the best. It's Dominick the Donkey.
This next one is my favorite take on 12 Days of Christmas. It actually makes sense and who can go wrong with Andy Williams on Christmas? it's A Song and a Christmas Tree. again, the video has a lot less to do with the song. just listen.
This is so good. It's another crappy boy band trying to do their own Christmas jam. but it's my fave. me and Hannah Wing and Erica Farnes used to LOVE these guys we watched all their youtube vids and almost cried when Thomas left. Don't worry, Thomas is still with them for this one. hallelujah.. he was like the glue holding the sanity of that band, i think. hah. Anyway! back to the song. Presenting It's Christmas Again by Varsity Fanclub. (again with the vid, i'm sorry. maybe you can learn it and this'll be like karaoke.)
I love this one! the story is so sweet and it's just a good song. I don't totally know how to describe it... it's just one of those that has been around my whole life. Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses. (listen no vid)
i think i'll wrap it up right now with this one. it's not the nicest most special song ever but i still like it. It's just one of those songs that is good to sing along to and that. it's just good, i guess. Here's Donde Esta Santa Claus by Guster. (just audio, once again. not my fault.)
