I've totally been inspired by fellow Run Oregon blogger Matt Rasmussen's Christmas playlist on rdio. I saw one of my fave "Christmas songs" on his list and realized I wasn't the only one who liked Fall Out Boy's "Yule Shoot Your Eye Out"!
Truth be told, I can get a little Christmas-ed out. I used to really resent seeing all of the Christmas decor at the mall before Thanksgiving had even passed. And a WHOLE ENTIRE MONTH OF MARIAH CAREY CHRISTMAS TUNES is enough to drive a person insane. The over-commercialized and syrupy sweet Christmas season is enough to give me cavities.
But, this year, in my very own condo that I purchased this year, things are a little sparse, but I've found my own Christmas spirit. It's not as shiny and sparkly--it may be a little alternative, a little emo, a little rock, and a little angsty. Maybe even a little Halloween-y! But it's more ME, and it's not stuff you'll hear on the radio for HOURS UPON HOURS EVERY DAY UNTIL CHRISTMAS.
