On the 5th Day of Christmas

Well it’s only 5 days until Christmas, so I hope if you haven’t already bought your presents, you have a general idea of what to buy for your friends and family. Keep checking up for updates on boy vs girl!

I know there are many people out there who are or have always been fans of Christmas music, but I don’t think it was until I was without it, that I realized how essential it is to get into that Christmas spirit. I have worked in retail for the worst part of 5 years. Meaning I had Christmas music constantly replayed. Everyday. Every couple of hours. I found myself humming along on certain days while helping out with the decorations. I just never realized, until I was put into a country with no Christmas music, how essential it is. There is one type of music for this season that will annoy me and hopefully everyone else on this planet.

The boy band remixes.

How the hell did anyone record this and honestly believe that it would sell? Or that someone would actually enjoy this while sitting near a Christmas tree? I have yet to see someone break out into Christmas song and choose a boy band rendition instead of a classical arrangement.

How about a nice choir? Do the people hearing these boy band renditions even know which band performs them? I doubt it. I hope that by the time they reach retirement they regret releasing a Christmas album.

So no, I will not post a link to what I’m referring to. I will not lend these boy bands any more ears!
