breakinglight11I am never more deeply reminded of how little I understand other people as during the holiday season when people listen to albums of basic Christmas standards recorded by popular artists.
What's the appeal? Do you really get some pleasure out of insipid "Jingle Bell Rock" or whatever? Does Mariah Carey singing "All I Want For Christmas Is You" actually stir something in someone? HOW? WHAT EVEN IS THAT PERSON? AM I A SPACE ALIEN, because to me that's like, "Why don't I chew on a plastic soda bottle?" It's not going to hurt you much, but what are you getting out of it? WHAT IS THE APPEAL?
