How do we know when we’ve achieved mental equilibrium during the holidays? Admittedly, it’s an ongoing business balancing the id, ego, and superego so as to register the fewest complaints with HR, but just listen to these songs and check off your symptoms.
You do your Christmas your way, counsels Santa’s Little Helper in the rockfest “The War On Christmas“. Not sure the sides taken here, but i suspect it’s inner turmoil.
The Apoplectics tutor us on holiday coping mechanisms in “Snuggie All the Way“, a lite pop tune with side effects advisory. Smart.
We’re not manic when we’re “Psyched For Christmas (2023 Version)”. David Prince rocks pop music to tell us how happy he is… and you can too.
Also super psyched, The Little Rockers Band share “This Is How It Feels At Christmas” with uplifting kidsong pop. Just a hair’s breadth from saccharine.
Lofi ambience from The Apples in Stereo croon out “Holiday Mood” is a blissful trance. I’m succumbing….
Nearing self actualization, John Tabacco declares “Christmas and I Am Not Afraid“. Lounge pop from the late ’60s.
Feeling complete, Jenn Ashton & Chris Doskoch ask for “Nothing For Christmas“. Folk symphonic with no irony in sight. Makes me unclench.
Pushing tolerance, “Happy Whatever You’re Having” by the Therapy Sisters allows for whoever whatever whenever whyever. More upbeat jump blues.
