Yup, it got me again this year...not knowing what presents to get my family. Sometimes I wonder whose stupid idea the present giving was...of course not as a serious thought, but as a thought coming from frustration.
For some reason I find it easier to get presents fro friends than for my own family. Strange right?
Well seems I will have to go power shopping tomorrow...presents from Hamburg for my family makes sense...but also shortens my time I have to think about it. WOOHOOO!
Also with work and University the Christmas feeling didn't reach me at all.
I tried listening to some Christmas songs....but I feel majorly sick ,when I have to listen to the same idiotic songs over and over again every year. If I hear "Last Christmas" by Wham once more I will scream!
Soooo I made it my job in the last days to find Christmas songs a are a teensy bit different....old "classics" pumped up in a new and fun way.
Here my top three:
3. All I Want For Christmas Is You - My Chemical Romance (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8rjrPIGZ5U) : They took the annoying fluffiness out of this song and made it fun to listen!
2.Last Christmas - DAILY GRIND (Wham! cover)(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrM1gk_yeDs) : Better singer with a better voice...better harmonic composition in the chorus...guitars guitars and drums...there you go: I DON'T HAVE TO SCREAM LISTENING TO LAST CHRISTMAS!!! Amazing guys! Could be the starting jingle of some series...I dunno..the sound reminds me of that.
1.Train - Shake up Christmas (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-8VCL4uSUc) : Because you just can't help but like Train. That voice....soooo AMAZING! They had me with "Drops of Jupiter" and "Hopeless"....no seriously..."Hopeless" is great. gives me goosebumps when I listen to it.
But seriously now...I really struggle with Christmas songs. So I rather treat my ears, my heart and my soul with something which deserves to be called music.
TRY THIS: The Heavy -- What Makes A Good Man (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZEbaXPVRWE)
Who manages to stay untouched and sit still listening to this song....well sorry guys then I can't help you.
Stay crazy and love your life,
Snoeks
