Normally I would not tune into my Christmas music station until thanksgiving day. But given how late thanksgiving is this year, and I’m off today prepping for tomorrow’s family party I’m jamming away to Christmas music.

“Smooth Jazz Christmas”, my favorite.

Yay!!! I usually start the day after halloween.

One of the most relaxing albums I listen to is Michael W. Smith's Christmas (1994).

I just put on Joy Division really loud in my office to try to drown out the idea that I might be hearing christmas music soon.

I'm always looking for good songs to sing karaoke to and suddenly Christmas songs are coming out of my mouth without even realizing it in the past few days. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.....(slaps own forehead)....what??? I don't even like that song!

How about this one for you to sing?

I love that song and sing it a lot at Christmas time. My exh used to sing the other part but he never knew the song that well so couldn't get into a rhythm with it. So I just ended up singing it with whoever is singing it on youtube.

Definitely feeling like the holidays, three straight nights the temperature dipped into the 70s. Blanket and long-sleeve weather.

I've never been there at Christmastime but I've been there in January. Wish I was there now! Getting down to 25 degrees for the next couple of nights here. Wish I was going surfing instead of being huddled by a space heater in my apartment, ha!

Leon Redbone & Zooey Deschanel - Baby, It's Cold Outside

OK, I'll play that video.

On mute.

 

[minimalME]

I don't know what this means?

It's a problematic song for sure. Someone made a version with different lyrics all about consent and awareness, it was really cute.

Good grief. Be offended.

A lot of radio stations pulled the song last year, and then a few stations played the other angle and refused to pull it. I don't know what will happen this year.

Lol, I didn't mean that. I was actually being more than a little sexist - I was saying that I'd rather look at her than listen to her.

Bad on me.

 

[minimalME]

Yes, I remember that.

Everyone is so easily offended these days, that I just don't care anymore. It seems like the more we talk about tolerance, the less people have.

Smooth jazz Christmas plays all songs because most are strictly instrumental.

I chill to the tunes without thinking too hard what was originally meant by all the songs.

Well, here's one:

If you know the band, then you have an idea of the irony. Yet, they are playing it straight.

Sorry man

@TheDudeLebowski

I’m sorry you feel this way, I really do care about people and I do care about you. I don’t care what you think of me, because you don’t really know me. But, I do wish you well in your life. I apologize if what I said caused you pain, none of it was intentional. It was all an exercise of a philosophical discussion.
