Stop the madness...I can't take it anymore!



We went to the Festival of the Trees on Thursday evening last week (post to come). As we were leaving there was a group of piano students having a recital in the lobby. There were two young girls playing a duet...jingle bells. I imagine that their pep talk to each other before playing went something like this...

"Remember, just play as loud as you can and as fast as you can and everyone will think we are GREAT!"

It was painful...I wanted to run screaming from the building. But it was loud and fast...and a whole mess of sharps and flats. Which got me thinking about Christmas songs that I just cannot listen too.

1. Christmas shoes...or any other sappy sappy Christmas song. ICK.

2. Simply having a wonderful Christmas time. Does this song even have any other words??

3. George Michael...Last Christmas I gave you my heart but the very next day you gave it away.....(shudder)

4. And it doesn't matter how many times I hear it, I just can't believe that all Mariah Carey wants for Christmas is me.

What about you?? Are there any Christmas songs that just make you cringe????

Bonnie, what if all Mariah Carey wanted was you...you wouldn't break her heart now would you?? I'm sorry but I don't get the whole manheim steamroller thing...maybe I'm missing something

I was singing the mariah carey one to Ryan when it was on the radio and he was pretty close to jumping out of the car while it was still moving. I too HATE the last christmas I gave you my heart one cuz it gets stuck in my head for hours and hours and hours. But I heard a Taylor swift version that was much better than George Michael. Although it still gets stuck in my head for hours and hours and hours.... and hours

Oh, Bonnie......I laughed and laughed at this one! In fact, you and I are right on the same wavelength with a few of these. So, I took your tag, and did the same thing on my blog. I am SO SO glad I am not the only one who wants to gag at some of the Christmas music we come up with!
Love you!
