Do You Hear What I Hear?

Merry December readers, this post will be dedicated to the music you can only handle one month out of the year, the always jolly Christmas music.

What's not to love about Christmas? I mean, you have family and friends coming together, good food, presents under a heavily decorated Christmas tree, houses light up in every way humanly possible, and the never ending plethera of sugar cookies. What better way to celebrate the good lord Jesus's birthday? I'm a sucker for Christmas, as you can tell, but one thing i'm not a sucker for is Christmas music.

Don't get me wrong, i'm all for the breath-taking preformances of "O Holy Night" but the corny stuff like "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer" I could go without. Even some of the Christmas songs without intended humor have a tendency to get on my last nerve.

For example, there is a huge hype of Justin Bieber's new song "Under the Mistletoe" from his new Christmas album. My sister is one of those creepy stalker types for the kid so I got to listen to it the moment it came out. Probably one of the dumbest things i've ever heard in my entire life.
 I honestly don't know what people see in this song, it's boring and repeatitive. In my opinion the only people who would like this song are those girls like my sister who imagine he is meeting them under the mistletoe. Newsflash ladies, not going to happen. For those who haven't heard this song and haven't come down with the sickness known as Bieber fever, don't waste your time.



As far as Christmas music I find worth listening to, here are some suggestions i'll throw your way.

Mariah Carey- "All I Want For Christmas Is You" (forever a classic)
Jessica Simpson feat. Nick Lachey- "Baby It's Cold Outside"
Alvin and the Chipmunks- "The Chipmunk Song" (goofy but also forever a classic)

Sugarcult- "Santa Claus is Coming To Town"
Parachute-"Winterlove"
Kelly Clarkson-"O Holy Night"
Destiny's Child- "Carol Of The Bells"
Kylie Minogue- "Santa Baby"
Wham- "Last Christmas" (forever a classic)
