CHRISTMAS TIME IS HERE: A Holiday Playlist Full of Christmas Cheer!

I know I’ve said this before (probably hundreds of times over the past few years) but I love Christmas! Like, I really, freaking, LOVE Christmas. It’s been my favorite holiday for as long as I can remember and I’m pretty sure it always will be. Continue reading “CHRISTMAS TIME IS HERE: A Holiday Playlist Full of Christmas Cheer!”

I can’t believe Christmas is tomorrow but it is and as I sit here munching on cookies, half-buried under the mountain of presents I have yet to wrap, I thought I’d take a moment to wish you all a Happy Christmas.

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas full of all the wonder and joy that comes with this time of year. Be it friends or family, K-Pop or ultimate biases, I hope you enjoy a Christmas full all the things that make you most happy and I wish you all the best both now and in the coming year. HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE! 사랑해요!

CHRISTMAS TUNES THAT ROCK: Family Force 5 “Christmas Pageant”

I’m one of those people who absolutely loves Christmas. I start my list of goodies and treats I plan to bake in October. I put up the Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving (gotta give the other holidays their dues) and I start listening to Christmas music in mid-November (my husband refuses to let me listen to any until after his birthday *sigh*). If left to my own devices, I’d listen to Christmas music all year round, I love it that much. There’s nothing better than listening to the crooners, young and old, singing classics like “White Christmas” or “Baby It’s Cold Outside.” Elvis’ “Blue Christmas” is pure Christmas magic and nothing beats Thurl Ravenscroft’s “You’re a Mean One Mr. Grinch.” My  kids and I agree the Christmas season doesn’t officially start until we’ve listened to the Chipmunks “Christmas Song” and “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas,” sung by Gayla Peevey. Christmas just wouldn’t be Christmas with the music and whether it’s old or new, traditional or a hip-hop remix, I love it all.

That being said, each year I find myself falling in love with one particular album and this year, it’s Family Force 5’s first Christmas family force 5 1album, “Christmas Pageant.” Now for those of you who are die-hard Family Force 5 fans, I’m fully aware that this album isn’t new. Released in October 2009, “Christmas Pageant” was nominated for Christmas Album of the Year at the 41st GMA Dove Awards but four years later, do we really care? What matters is this album is full of some of the best crunk rock Christmas song remixes you will ever hear; I honestly can’t find a track on this album I don’t like. My personal favorite is their original Christmas tune, “The Baby” because its reminds me very much of G-Dragon’s “R.O.D.” and you just can’t go wrong with that!

I know this album has been out for several years now but if you’re looking for a Christmas album that’ll keep your holiday party rockin’ and don’t already own “Christmas Pageant” I recommend you download it now. I promise, you’ll be rockin’ around the Christmas tree all night long!
