Feliz Navidad makes me want to run far away. >____< It was playing on the bus yesterday, and I had my iPod but was listening to something with actual dynamic contrast, so during the soft bits I could hear the song of evil. :p
Maria keeps singing it at me because she knows I hate it. XD But Little Drummer Boy plays like twelve times a shift at work, and it's starting to sear off bits of my brain.
--I think Feliz Navidad may be the only annoying-semi-pop-wannabe Christmas song they don't play in my store. Why is that? About thirty percent of my customers only speak Spanish, too...if nothing else, playing it once in a while would mean a little less time spent playing Walking in a Winter Wonderland. >_
When I think of Walking in a Winter Wonderland, I always make an immediate connect with the LJ icon that says Walken in a Winter Wonderland and has a few snowy trees--all of a sudden, CHRISTOPHER WALKEN'S HEAD POPS UP AND DANCES AROUND THE ICON. It has about destroyed my life.
:( I can't give out my address. Do keep watch on my journal for my own giftpost-thing if you'd like a present - I'm doing photos this year. ^_________^
THIS IS ENTIRELY RANDOM. But, we're doing a sort of modernized version of a bunch of Shakespeare's plays right now at my school -- I'm doing tech for it. And our King Hamlet reminds me so much of Old Forti, and it cracks me up every time I hear his lines. XD I just thought you should know.
...you don't have a ticky for 'don't talk to me about the cost of international postage, this year we shall spread electronic cheer instead'... This is clearly an oversight! :P
Next year? I think this year we're going to have a very quiet low-key Christmas (if nothing else, I don't think my first pay-check in the new job will come through until January, and that's assuming all goes well on Monday and beyond... *nervous twitch*)
...I'm going to skip the next part of this conversation, 'cause I can see where it's going, which is me saying 'but I'll feel *bad*, because I can't afford to do cards for the local-postage people let alone you far-away types...' and you saying 'don't be silly, that's not how it works' and me saying 'oh, yeah, I'm just rubbish at applying that when it's in my favour, and besides I've never fed you or driven you anywhere, and nobody loves me except for cupboard love except my Ed, argh waily argh angst' and then getting my head together and saying 'ok then!'
...so we skip to the part where I say sure, I'd love it , if you're sure the postage really isn't a problem? ♥
...and then I go and put my address in the thingy, I s'pose, hang on while I do that.
...oh, and I fail at putting / in the address but I think I did put commas, and I fail at the rest of the poll too because all the options scared me (I am tired from swimming) and in case I never said though I think I did, I'm kinda Catholicish although due a couple of excommunications by now and cryptic_raven (who should totally be referred to from now on as 'the geek who loves me') is Anglican and Fian sez if Gaheris writes to us he will write back because weirdly enough although he sort-of-in-a-funny-way came from a Gawain-archetype they've probably got a thing or to in common... *wobbles* is that alright?
I actually actively resent both "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" and "Jingle Bell Rock" for being probably the least rock-y things in the world. I mean, seriously, there's not even an electric guitar.
I can send you a card too if you want! You will have to give me your address though because I lost the envelope from your last letter.
(Actually, I have to confess that if I have to listen to one more pop singer butcher a perfectly fine old melody in the name of 'making it more interesting', I may snap.)
(Or at least try to figure out some way to make them listen to lots of Marian Anderson so they can learn how to make a song your own without cutting it up into little bits.)
I've always secretly hated The Little Drummer Boy, though I love most Christmas carols. I feel better admitting this.
Also, I couldn't pick just one sock. *dies* You may, if you wish, pick one for me. (Though I almost picked Linden, because the image of him sitting down to address holiday cards is kind of amazing.)
I'M SICK OF ALL OF THEM. Christmas songs, I mean. THEY PLAY NOTHING ELSE AT WORK. DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY DIFFERENT VERSIONS THERE ARE OF WINTER WONDERLAND?!?!?! TODAY, I EVEN HEARD A CHRISTMAS ADAPTATION OF "LOVE SHACK" - TOY SACK. ABOUT SANTA CLAUS. IT IS RIDICULOUS.
DON'T EVEN, WOMAN. THEY PLAY NOTHING ELSE WHERE I WORK, TOO. THURSDAY I HEARD NINE DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF THE LITTLE DRUMMER BOY INCLUDING A RAP SONG OKAY.
YOU HAVE MY SYMPATHY AND UNDERSTANDING THEN, PANSY. DRUMMER BOY DOESN'T SEEM TO BE VERY POPULAR AT MY STORE...BUT OH MY GOD, THAT FREAKING ROCKING AROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE, I MAY HAVE TO TEAR MY EARS OFF THE NEXT TIME THAT COMES ON.
LAST WEEK, AFTER HOURS, SO IT'S JUST ME BY MYSELF FOLDING THOSE DAMN FLEECES AT LIKE ONE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING, THEY PLAYED A HORRIBLE TECHNO VERSION OF "MY FAVORITE THINGS" WHICH IS NOT EVEN A CHRISTMAS SONG AND THAT IS ONE OF MY LONGSTANDING PET PEEVES AND I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY HATE IT WHEN THEY DO THAT.
