Christmas Music - Tumblr Posts
It's the Holiday Season!
Holidays in the time of COVID are going to be. . .interesting. Wear ya mask! Be careful when going places that are indoors because that's where spread could be the highest. If you plan to visit family, be careful. Set boundaries, make sure you stay safe and they do as well.
And on that note, let's talk about fun stuff! Music! My family's Catholic, I'm not. My parents agree with me that the church has done some AWFUL shit, but we are big fans of Pope Francis. He's awesome. I love listening to Christmas music, it's one of my favorite genres of music. The classics to the modern stuff, Bing Crosby to the Barenaked Ladies. The Barenaked Ladies actually brings me to my next point!
So. My absolute FAVORITE song on their holiday album is Hanukkah Blessings. It's beautifully done, gorgeously sung, and the lyrics in Yiddish only make it better. I know, I know, I'm not Jewish. None of my family is. I don't go around preaching teachings from the Torah or appropriating Jewish culture. I have an appreciation for it. Hanukkah Blessings is a song that I just happen to love. People can enjoy music from other cultures. To all those who say that's a bad no-no, it's not like we're profiting off of it. And to all those confused about why the Barenaked Ladies have three Hanukkah songs on their holiday album-one of their members is Jewish. They wanted to honor that member and celebrate his religious holiday.
So, wrapping this shit up, be kind! Be understanding. Don't use another's culture and parade it as your own. Go ahead and play that Hanukkah song if you're Christian and enjoy it. Just don't try and profit off of it. The holiday season is a time for understanding, joy, and kindness. It's my favorite time of year. Christmas is my favorite holiday. Enjoy your holidays! Whether it's Kwanza, Hanukkah, Christmas, or some other winter holiday I'm forgetting.
¡La fiesta no a empezado hasta que pongan "Mi Burrito Sabanero"! ⭐️🐴🌾🏜⭐️

Sometimes I think "yeah im totally normal" and then I remember that almost every holiday season I fall into the same trap of thinking "this person says they don't like Christmas music, but once they hear my Christmas themed medieval playlist, that will SURELY change"
I know it's like freaking May but let's talk Christmas and even more importantly let's talk Lemon Demon
Why is "I Am Become Christmas" the best Christmas album(or lp or ep or whatever)? Cause it has everything a Christmas album should have
-Spook
-Pagan traditions
-The apocalypse
-Seasonal depression
-Body horror
Plus you can listen to this all year round
My CDs have arrived:)
The CD player I bought from an antique store sadly doesn't work, I'll have to get a new one when I can more easily afford it
All I Want For Christmas Is You
Day 3- Holiday music
The place swamped more and more as the snowfall grew stronger minute by minute. It was almost as if a blizzard had come but it was just typical Britain snowfall. Harry served minute after minute, keeping a content smile over his face as he served to people after people even though his feets were killing him and his back was practically dying to be stretched out but with the snow outside and the Holiday season overhead he barely had anytime, not even to stretch and like a cherry on top the new waiter just dropped the muffin and the coffee of a customer.
“ You look at the counter, i’ll clean the- your mess” Harry told the new waiter and picked up the mop and the dustpan. The waiter scurried away in a slight fear that he was going to lose his job and went off to the counter like Harry had said so.
Harry stretched his back as he cleaned the floor along with the spill and took it to the back and stood there for a few moments, letting his exhaustion wear down a little but not even a second later the same waiter came in and asked for Harry’s help.
“ Its one heck of a day” Harry mumbled to himself as he followed the waiter to the counter.
“ How can I serve you today sir ?” Harry asked kindly
“ I ordered a blueberry muffin, instead I got a vanilla cupcake and I definitely did not order a latte yet somehow I have this “ The customer slid Harry the order the waiter had messed up.
Harry looked at the waiter who held an apologetic look. He shook his head.
“ Here- take this- chocolate brownies are our specialty- on the house and i’ll be right with you with your order” Harry easily said.
The customer smiled hesitantly at Harry then went back to his seat.
" Olli- I thought you were getting better" Harry scolded him a Little.
Olli, the new waiter Apologised again " I'll take the correct order"
Harry sighed then served the correct order on the plate and made him deliver.
He was about to tend the next customer when his phone kept on the counter rang, "Ferret". He pushed the ignore button instantly and rendered the needs of the customer but five more times in a row made him impatient and he was forced to leave the counter and to go in the back and pick up the call.
" what ?" Harry snapped lightly.
" Wow- wonder if every boyfriend treats their boyfriends like this or is it just me- a special treatment" Draco muttered.
" Draco- dear I don't have the time- I'm running on a very tight schedule- can this wait ?" Harry asked impatiently.
" I- Nevermind " Draco replied disappointed.
Harry sighed knowing he had ruined whatever Draco was about to say and even his mood.
" I'm sorry but it's just, the cafe is filled with people and the snow isn't helping either- I'm gonna be stuck here for a long time I suppose- I wish I could come home early"
" But this was supposed to be our dinner night" Draco whined a little
" I know- and I know I promised but I'm stuck- I wish I could do something but- yeah one second I'll be there- yeah- I wish I could come early, I really do but I'm just stuck " Harry explained.
Draco sighed on the call " I understand- I wish you could make time- it feels like you have a much more stressful job than I have when I am the one who have to look after students making dangerously new potions everyday "
Harry smiled to himself " I love you"
" I love you too" then eventually unwillingly they cut the call and Harry got back to work.
Almost 45 minutes later of still ever-growing crowd and serving back and forth, billing and cleaning the mess, the door chimed again and Harry had almost lost it if it wasn't for the familiar man turning the sign board of the cafe to closed.
" we can't be closed yet" Olli Whispered to Harry.
Harry shook his head and the man turned around and walked right upto the counter.
" Since you couldn't make time for me- I came for you- this goes two ways " Draco smiled at Harry.
He shook his head at the absurdity but he couldn't deny that seeing Draco had lit up his day more than anything had today.
" listen up everyone- this- all of you- tonight is a special night with my beloved boyfriend but apparently he couldn't make time for me- but I could and here I am and I know this is a very crowded place and everything but God- this is getting dull- so-"
" Karaoke " Olli whispered yelled.
Draco turned his head to Olli and nodded, smiling " jukebox- I know how much you love your work Harry but I want to be with you even if it means being with you here all night just watching you- so here I am even if you want to throw me out of the cafe but-" he paused and put in a quarter in the jukebox machine he bought, the song beginning to sing and Draco pointed his finger at Harry then sang along " All I want for christmas is you "
The place dissolved in short laughs and a warmer surrounding as Draco continued singing while watching Harry who was just leaning on the counter watching him sing his heart out. It wasn't long before Harry shook his head and jumped over the counter to Draco and pulled him closer by the scarf around his neck.
" You're an idiot you know that?"
" an idiot in love perhaps ?" Draco suggested.
Harry shook his head smiling " An idiot I love" and kissed Draco with everything he had, everything he had to hold himself back from the entire day and the love that ran in his body for Draco, all poured out into that one moment. The thing was that sometimes they can't make time for one another, Sometimes the work becomes too much that they end up not even seeing each other but no matter what happened or no matter what may come, Harry and Draco were sure of one thing, that Love doesn't just happen and end up in happy ever after. There are moments that hurt, there are moments that leads to fights, there are so many more moments of disappointment but instead of finding a reason to not be with each other, they'd run back home knowing that if love was somewhere for them, it was in each other, even if it meant that they had to work hard and put through a lot and they were proud to do whatever they could do be with each other, even if that singing in the middle of a busy cafe along to the Christmas songs. At the end of the day when they'd curl into each other, it would all be worth it.

It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas (cover) by V of BTS
unpopular opinion but I hate michael buble's christmas album. least favorite album ever in the world that I can think of. I would prefer objectively bad music, christmas or not, and I am not kidding or exaggerating, nor was that a hard choice to make
Merry Christmas everyone! To celebrate, here is my audio transcription of the TinkerBell NDS game soundtrack for the Winter Festival.
What struck me most in this piece – and became the reason I transcribed it – is the Molldur moment in the main melody (when it momentarily switches from major to minor), it’s a simple yet effective way of harmonically spicing up the relatively plain melody.
Christmas is weird with all my concerts cancelled. So for Second Christmas Day (or Boxing Day for you Britons out there) a little break from my usual work: this is an audio transcription of the soundtrack to Jazz Jackrabbit’s Candion, a.k.a. a wonderful interpretation of the classic ‘Carol of the Bells’. JJ was a big part of my childhood and this particular soundtrack was the first thing I ever fully audio transcribed (instead of just arranging it for piano). As always, while as close to the source material as possible considering I did this by ear, I’ve tried to write this down for life performance.
Original music by Mykola Leontovich, JJ soundtrack originally by Robert Allen & Joshua Jensen.
All I Want For Christmas is You
Pairing:Bitty Murder!Sans/Bitty Classic!Toriel
Rated: T
Warning: That it’s a songfic, and it’s a Crack version of Soriel.
Specifically with this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQrN9ba8qEM
(This oneshot is not part of the main fic they belong to, So if you’re still here, Enjoy!)
Murder found himself standing on a small stage, the stage that had been created for the wrecked Christmas Party, facing the microphone as it looked over an empty room.
He was alone.
Utterly Alone.
Murder looked around, feeling a sick feeling churning in his gut.
“ BROTHER.”
He jolted and looked to see his brother Papyrus by the microphone, a specter of a skull clad in a scarf and gloves as his gloves touched the stand holding the microphone, the sick feeling of being alone vanishing even if he felt something in his skull fracturing, he ignored it, pulling his left hand out of his pocket, keeping the other one rooted as he grinned.
“ hey bro, i haven’t seen you around, you’ve been real... distal lately.” He teased as he wagged his distal phalange as if to scold his brother for not coming around, specter Papyrus merely rolling his glowing red eyes.
“ THAT MAY BE, BUT YOU HAVE NOT BEEN ALONE WHILE I HAVE BEEN GONE, YOU HAVE BEEN TRYING TO ROMANCE TORIEL!”
Murder nearly choked as he pulled his hood further over his head, “ that’s idiotic!”
“ SANS, PLEASE, I AM NOT STUPID. SO I WENT TO BRUSH OF MY DATING MANUAL AND YOU HAVE BEEN DOING THIS ALL WRONG!”
Murder groaned softly and shook his head, “ c’mon bro...”
“ NO SANS, IT STATES CLEARLY THAT YOU HAVE TO DO A BIG ROMANTIC GESTURE TO LET HER KNOW YOUR FEELINGS ARE TRUE, AND WE ARE HERE AREN’T WE?”
“ but she’s not here bro-”
“ DETAILS DETAILS! YOU MUST PRACTICE FIRST ANYWAYS BEFORE YOU TRY TO DO THE GESTURE, AS YOU DO NOT HAVE THE FINELY TUNED SKILLS SOMEONE SUCH AS THE GREAT PAPYRUS DOES TO PULL IT OFF FIRST TRY!”
“ heh, you got me bro, i could never be as cool as you.” Murder chuckled before he found himself being shoved forward to the microphone, stumbling before he grabbed the stand, looking back at Papyrus with wide eyes before to the empty room.
It was just the two of them.
He would be fine.
He faced the microphone before the empty room, starting to sing lowly,
“ I don’t want a lot for Christmas,
There is just one thing I need-”
Murder froze when he heard the piano on stage being played, looking over his shoulder and seeing Nightmare was there, feeling his blue and red magic flare, but Papyrus merely gave him an annoyed look and motioned for him to continue singing as he watched Horror appear behind the drums and Killer appear with a wreath of bells to shake.
He immediately turned from them, flushing a deep purple as he continued to sing as Papyrus urged him,
“- I don’t care about the Presents,
Underneath the Christmas Tree...
I just want you for my Own,
More than you could ever know...
Make my wish Come True,
All I want for Christmas...”
The piano seemed to stop for him, there being a small and tense silence as the players readied behind him,
“ Is... You!”
He howled into the microphone as the music from the other three blasted with the release of the last word, absolutely filling the room with music as his eyelights lit like a fire under his hood,
“ Oh Baby!
I won’t ask for much this Christmas,
I won’t even wish for snow-!”
“ And I~” Nightmare and Horror sang along as Killer merely shook the bells to create continual noise, Murder noticing slakes starting to drift down on them as if for dramatic affect.
“ I just wanna keep on waiting,
Underneath the Mistletoe!
I won’t make a list and send it-
To the North Pole for the Saint Nick...”
“ And I~”
“ I won’t even stay awake to hear those magic reindeer click,
I just want you here tonight,
Holding onto me so tight,
What more can I do?
All I want for Christmas is you...” He started booming on the last sentence before hushing on the last word, his eyelights disappearing as Horror stopped and Nightmare continued to play, but this time softly,
“ None of the lists are shining brightly anywhere...
And the sound of Children’s crying fills the air...
And no one is singing...
I don’t hear sleigh bells ringing-”
He gripped the stand tighter than ever and screamed into the mic as the music raised behind him,
“ Santa won’t you bring me the one I really need?!
Won’t you please bring my baby to me!”
The music then boomed as Murder noticed movement in the doorway, feeling another shift inside himself as he watched the movement with his returned and bright eyelights.
“ I don’t want a lot for Christmas!
This is all I’m askin’ for!
I just wanna see my baby standing right outside my door!”
He saw it was Toriel and directed all of himself to her,
“ I just want you for my own!
More than you could ever know!
All I want for Christmas...”
He ceased for only a moment with the music as all three of his fellow adoptees in the background seemed to know exactly what to do for this song, somehow as Tori approached, her eyes fixed on him.
“ Is... You!!”
“ All I want for Christmas is you baby!” Chanted Horror and Nightmare in the Background before he joined them for the last one, the music ceasing as Murder stood there, panting even though he had no lungs to be winded with, knowing it was because her eyes were on him rather than any real effort.
He heard his brother give a small cackle and he was shoved off the stage, stumbling before falling into her arms and she held him bridal style to her, his whole skull turning purple.
“ Murder... Why didn’t you tell me?” She whispered with wide eyes.
“ uh... too much work?” He offered up weakly, not knowing what to say before she pressed a warm kiss to his skull, him feeling his soul nearly screaming in his chest to kiss her back, her forehead pushing against his.
“ Merry Christmas Murder.”
“ merry christmas tori.” he muttered.
“ I’m glad you enjoyed the gift, I doubt you’ll ever get it again.”
“ huh?”
GASP!
Murder sat up gasping for air as he panted in his bed of a sunflower, looking to the sunlight streaming through the window as he then let out a string of cuss words for a certain Nightmare Bitty on Christmas Morning.

My work has just now started playing christmas music and it's all the most garbage covers that nobody can possible enjoy. I don't want lofi beats in my fucking christmas music, I'd rather have the true christmas classics absolutely ruined for me by hearing them 24/7 for all of november and december than have to listen to this margarita flavored cover of silver bells for the last two weeks before christmas.
