Saturday Happy Song - Christmas Edition

It's Saturday, it's Christmas weekend. It's been lazy, but not in ways I was wishing for. Tree trimmers were outside my apartment building at 8am...I was so pissed, I so looked forward to sleeping in. Are you all ready for Christmas? All the shopping done? the presents wrapped? the cookies baked? Yeah, me neither. This is going to be one busy, but festive and merry weekend.

Last year was a bit depressing and dark. We've decided to embrace the season this year, and I think it's a very wise choice. I couldn't deal at all last year, and while this one hasn't been all roses and chocolate, it's nice to be more festive. To create new traditions and memories. It's a vital part of moving forward with one's life.

On Tuesday I went to lunch at CityWalk with 2 work comrades. 2 I used to have regular lunch dates with, but haven't in a while due to my exercise routine, which has lapsed completely, but that's a different rant. Any-how we got to talking about Christmas Music when one said they hated it, and I agreed, and then we scrutinized this statement further and realized there are a few songs we do like. I do enjoy Mannheim Steamroller, and Trans Siberian Orchestra, though the comrades didn't completely agree. I most enjoy Carol of the Bells by both bands, as that is my sole favorite Christmas song. I thought. As we wandered back to work we passed shops playing Christmas music the whole way, and The Waitresses " Christmas Wrapping" was being piped out of one place. Angie and I love that song we both said at the same time! I then mentioned The Kinks Father Christmas, which is currently being used in a Google Chrome commercial. I got to thinking that there a few, albeit more alternative, but still...Christmas songs I actually do enjoy. Listed below for your listening pleasure. Happy Saturday!
