HOLY FRACK. It's Christmas Eve Day today... it really doesn't feel like it. I still haven't gone to bed yet, so maybe when I wake up it will feel like Christmas Eve Day. But I think I want to stay up as late as possible today, because I want to stay up all Christmas Eve night, and then pass out after Christmas dinner. If anyone cares to join me, or pop in for a bit, I will be on both Skype and msn.
So I figure since I've had all happy Christmas songs, I should have a sad one. Blue Christmas. The first time I heard this was when Caralee Haire (now Maxwell) sang it at a ward Christmas talent show a loooong time ago. She was amazing. I never thought such a voice could come out of such a small person.
Anyways. As with a lot of Christmas songs, there were about a bajillion covers to choose from, and I considered using Andrea Bocelli, except he'll be showing up in a couple weeks for something themed :) I love Andrea Bocelli. Anyways, I ended up listening to a lot, but I decided to go with A Fine Frenzy. Apart from all the weird vocalizing around 2:20 - 2:50, it's pretty decent. One more song tomorrow (on actual freaking Christmas day) and then we're taking a week off, before another THEMED WEEK. Actually, all of January is going to be themed. Starting on the third, because like I said, taking a week off.
I AM ALSO ADDING ANOTHER VERSION OF MY FAVORITE CHRISTMAS SONG (Baby it's Cold Outside) because I won't get another chance until next year, and I really really love this version and because I love Julia Nunes and I love Wade Johnston.
