Queens of Qristmas

When Mariah launched her original christmas CD ( any chanteuse worth her voice would have at least one ) , her 'All I want for Christmas is You' song went on to become the single most successful holiday song in history.

It's a feat no one can top. But herself.

Years later, she's recreated her christmas album with brand new material, similar cover and another big christmas hit. Way to go Mariah.

Everyone thought her's was a shoo-on to be this years biggest Christmas album so who would think dowdy Susan Boyle would have yet another hat trick and score a consecutive hit record with 'The Gift.'

Surely , these two are this year's biggest Christmas divas.

On a hind-note, Whitney Houston's 'One Wish' album is worh mentioning.

It came at a time, her hoopla was bigger than her vocal hoops.

But really, this album, is really good and could well be that one wish you were waiting for all holiday season. Grab one and fall in love with Whitney all over again.

Upside Down Xmas

See it right.

"Evoking a 12th century Central European tradition of hanging a tree from the ceiling at Christmas, this unique 4' pre-lit fir attaches to your ceiling, allowing more room in less-spacious areas for the placement of furniture or more decorations underneath."

Really?!

Were there people that forward thinking (aka read : Blasphemous) way back then already? ^^

Still, it's mightly creative and novel.

An inverted Xmas Tree hanging in and from the corner cornice. Taking up the only space there is ; up there.

Perfect for the cramped urban apartment in the city where permanent furniture , and not a one-of-tree, that takes precedence in the precious living space.

*Alright! For those traditional folks who are screaming 'Good Lord!', there's still the more conventional upright tree but still a 'corner' piece. Good for those whose living area is still more spacious than their cramped mentalities...


In a way, posting this is both a casual tongue-in-cheek lifestyle review and in retropect, how my 25th of December was spent. :(

Uneventful and without my Dearest beside me.

Spending Christmas alone.
