Yay! Christmas is good.

What's your favorite kind of Christmas music, Rashiir? Like the contemporary stuff, old fashioned, orchestra?

People who write below their abilities in order to crank out tons of books and make a buck. Especially Christian authors who do that. Outsiders judge us for it, and make fun of us for it, and it makes Jesus look bad. We of all artists on earth should be the most concerned with doing our best possible work at all times. We of all people should write with all our hearts, as if writing for the Lord and not for men.

Yay, Christmas music...

I like the hymns. Or jazzy instrumentals. ^^

BTW, if anyone has Dish Network, they have one of those Christmas audio channels on channel 982 ^_^

I like pretty much all of it. I think Manheim Steamroller is a group, not just a song ;)

*Eyes glaze over* I LOVE Mannheim Steamroller! Woo hoo! One of my favorites of theirs is their rendition of Silent Night (without words) on the Live album. It's just beautiful.

Well, I'd say go for anything Manheim Steamroller made. I like a lot of their stuff.

I'm never really too into any given spirit, but there was Christmas Spirit around our house yesterday. We put up the tree, etc (it's a rule, we never put up the tree before Thanksgiving. We were quick about it this year).

Christmas is fun, but most often I find myself sad, thinking about the rampant materialism...

Not only that but Menheim Steamroller is one man. That's why there are no concerts with the Menheim Steamroller. ;)

I like to listen to Jazz and Celtic christmas music the most.

I like a variety of Christmas music (and styles)... Jazz, contemporary, old standards, electroincia.

There is one album that I can't start the holiday without... The Charlie Brown Christmas Album. It's just not Christmas without it (don't ask me why, I'm sure I don't know).

The Canadian Brass not only have a few good Christmas albums, but if you ever get a chance to see their christmas show, do so! It's great (those guys are nuts).

Manheim Steamroller rules. Wierd Al is also very good at inducing Christmas cheer.

Christmas is great (duh)...and only one more week of classes (not counting finals).

For some reason I always get depressed around the holidays, because it reminds me that I am single. I'm strong 364 days a year...give me a break.

Sucks being single.

Anyways, I prefer the old stuff, booming organs, big choruses that sort of thing.

I some how remember this. I don't really know how, but I remember. Speaking of Santa Claus, has any one heard of the Christmas Leprichaun?

Heh heh. Thanks all. It seemed appropriate even if advent doesn't start just yet.

took me a while to find it because it was a 'pair' image with Asuka on it (thus why it wasn't in my archive) but there it is :) the image originates from the limited edition manga booklet that was sold in limited quantities during one winter days... a rare item i say, as rare as one of those Red Cross Books that was sold during when the theatre was released in Japan. rare, rare, rare...
