All fun and games until you have to go back to work after 5 days off.
I'm just messing with you. I know you were being funny. These are all songs that I enjoy and I do think there are some real classic, but there are also some esoteric things that most people probably haven't heard. That James Brown stuff is absolute gold. Comedic and holiday gold. This list was my attempt not to have to listen to crappy Christmas music. If I had to listen to Michael Buble one more time I was driving off a bridge.
My kids actually like that horrible Mariah Carey thing. And the radio keeps playing the McCartney one, too, which causes instant station switch and has nearly led me to have an accident. (I'm not making that up.) Fortunately my kids hate that one as much as I do, and as much as we both hate that other repetitive piece of schlock that he wrote, nominally for the Beatles.
I won't use the title for any of those. They are anathema.
Humidifiers are smaller than they used to be.
just cut down my own Christmas tree, just like Paul Bunyon. Now it's got the flashing, color changing Chinese lights doing their thing, very exciting.
My kid's used to play that game where you "win" by not hearing Last Christmas a single time during the holiday season. I like to listen to inane Christmas music when I'm driving so it's been a source of tension for the last decade or so, but, luckily they have mostly grown out of caring. The youngest still plays though, so he keeps trying to get me to turn off the Christmas music station in the car. I have won the others over by promising to keep a tally of Taylor Swift vs. George Michael.
The score so far: Taylor - 3, George - 1.
I went through a George Michael phase where I wore a dangling earring and a leather jacket. I can't really grow facial hair now, so I definitely couldn't then. But I wanted to be a ladies man, just like George Michael was. You could make the case that I wasn't really paying attention in the 80s.
