Christmas Music Is Beyond Messed Up These Days

So, this is the first of my christmas blogs, and i've decided to make christmas music my first topic. Personally i'm not really a big fan of christmas tunes, mainly because i've been hearing them since september for the last 3 years. September? Yes september, and its because i play in my schools band, and our teacher decided that practicing christmas music on september 7th would be a fun idea. Not really.

But besides that, i've always found christmas music to be really annonying. Don't get me wrong, there are some songs out there that i really enjoy. I think there's one called "Christmas Shoes" and it just gets me all the time.

"Sir I wanna buy these shoes for my Momma please. It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size. Could you hurry Sir? Daddy says there's not much time. You see she's been sick for quite a while. And I know these shoes will make her smile. And I want it to look beautiful If Momma meets Jesus tonight"

Even i can enjoy a song like that. But then there's the artists who feel they must punish us and redo some of the best songs to ever exist. For example, Alvin and The Chipmunks redoing every christmas song imaginable. I always wondered why their music was only played once a year, and i think its Satans way of punishing us. Your probably thinking i'm off my rocker on this one, but what other time of year do alvin, simon, and theodore come out to shine? Not one other holiday! Satan had to do something for having to suffer under, the birth of christ every year. Joking!!! But then again, for the past two years, the killers have released two christmas songs. Last years effor was pretty decent, but this years is pretty scary. Who in their right mind entitles a song "Please don't shoot me Santa"?? Something tells me Brandon Flowers had a bad experience with Santa as a child, possibly involving a gun of some sort.

In my opinion though, there's really only 2 songs out there worth listening to. Blink-182 "I won't be home for Christmas" and The Pogues "Fairytale Of New York". Trust me kids, these songs make the holidays bearable.....
