Not even two weeks left,
until it is Christmas again!
What do you actually connect with
the words “Christmas” and “Advent”? Do you think of a quiet
and peaceful time or a rather busy and annoying one?
For me, the Advent season
as well as Christmas itself are a very pleasant period of the year
indeed. I like to give presents, eat cookies and a large amount of
other sweets, receive presents, go to Christmas markets as well as to drive home for Christmas Eve and have the whole family celebrating together.
Nevertheless, there is one part of the Advent season that bugs me after some time: Christmas songs are played everywhere all
the time. Whether you are in the supermarket or in a shop, whether you turn on the radio or the TV, you will hear Christmas songs in a
continuous loop. Not that I do not like them, but they might be played too often.
That is my opinion, of course I know that there are many people who cannot get enough of the "Christmas feeling" and the obligatory songs. Come to think of it, almost every known musician has written a Christmas song, maybe it is a fixed part of a music career...
Anyway, if you do have neither a radio nor a TV and do rarely shop this year for some reason, you may miss the familiar sound of Christmas songs. Do not despair, there are millions of videos available on YouTube and other websites. To give one example, this three hour long compilation of the most famous songs will probably satisfy every Christmas addict. :)
Merry Christmas!
Frohe Weihnachten!
Счастливого Рождества!
you are right..christmas songs are really disturbing and I believe that there can't be a christmas feeling if there is no snow!
