Personally I’m looking forward to a sober holiday season. I’m white knuckling it. But already leagues above where I’d be if I were still in it. So I’m grateful and looking forward to a happy season. What about you
The day the Christmas music is no longer playing everywhere. I don’t dislike Christmas as much as I used to but I still prefer it in short bursts only on the 24th and 25th.
Christmas music generally annoys the hell out of me too, at least the traditional kinds. Choral music, Mariah Carey, it fills me with rage, oddly enough.
I will share links for some styles of Christmas music I do enjoy.
There’s a guy who does a lot of Jazz loves Hip Hop mashups, including this one of Christmas standards This one used to be on YouTube, which is where I originally found it.
There’s a guy who does metal covers of Christmas standards
Mariah Carey in the style of Tool
Rudolph the Red nosed Reindeer in the style of KoЯn
Afroman released A Colt 45 Christmas, which is hilarious & hilariously profane.
There’s a different guy who does metal covers of all kinds of music, including Christmas. Here’s a link to a playlist of his.
Here’s a similar Christmas song I wouldn’t mind hearing more of:
