Christmas comes only once a year...
I wrote a super long blog entry about Christmas music and how I luv it and then my computer crashed and I didn't get to save what I wrote. So, yeah, I love Christmas music and it makes me happy:) I love hot coca with mini marshmallows and decorating the tree with lights and sparkly things! I love the classics of oldies xmas songs along with the non traditional ones like Merry Christmas (I dont' want to Fight Tonight) by the Ramones and Christmas Wrapping by the Waitresses.
Last Saturday morning, I guest djed at the Bust magazine Craftacular at Warsaw and I dared to play xmas music. I decided to take a chance and see what would happen to the shoppers. Well, I was pretty please with my choice because the whole crowd light up like a frickin' christmas tree! They were smiling and bouncing on their toes and singing along to the songs. Little babies were dancing on stage in front on me too, haha! I posted my whole xmas set all in order before my computer crashed so now I've only listed some songs that are all out of order...
