Happy Holiday dearest friends (and haters, I guess)
Another Christmas is thrust upon us. No matter how frazzled we are it will be over before we know it! Bright side!
So I have for you the awaited Bittersweet Susie Vintage Christmas Playlist 2014!
Yay! – I know you have waited for this all season. I am on good authority that MOST of you were pretty good this year, and the ones that weren’t were at least funny about it. I respect that.
You know I was never THAT into christmas. I always thought the santa story was kind of creepy. I didn’t like the idea of a fat stranger coming in while we slept to eat all our cookies. I mean, WHO THE FUCK does he think he is? I believe the above photo was from Christmas 1983. Look at my in my now hipster ugly sweater and ever so fashionable bowl cut. It doesn’t get ANY cooler than this. I think I still have those shoes. And Santa’s shifty gaze is not helping the cause. Sorry Fat man. I am not leaving any cookies for you.
Between this years and last years Playlist there are over 5 1/2 hours of Christmas Music. I promise NO “Jingle Bell Rock” or “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree”. Those songs make me shabby.
Blast these tunes while you are finishing up all those presents you need to wrap. It’s also totally grandma approved, so feel free to have these songs playing during dinner. You can take credit, it don’t mind.
