From the guys who really got average white people into rap and hip hop back in the day, comes an unexpected Christmas hit in 1987, and is now a holiday classic.
All the shopping and rushing is over. For most of you, that means a day with the family. So here's a a happy, uplifting Dropkick Murphy's song about how wonderful it is to be with family on Christmas. Me, personally, I was able to get a motel room for the night, I have no family around, so it's awesome.
OK, my sister's family is cool, not like this video, but they're a couple hundred miles away, and I won't be seeing them today.
I'm going to spend the day finishing up my first two big, fat zines in the Freestyle BMX Tales series. This is what I love doing, so I'm going to have a great day. Hope things are cool for the rest of you out there, whether you're celebrating Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanzaa, Festivus, the winter solstice, or whatever.
It's a big, crazy world out there, and it's gonna get a lot crazier next year. But we'll get to that in future blog posts. Make the best of whatever this day brings. Oh, and for those of you giving me crap on Facebook, I really do listen to the Partridge Family's Christmas album every Christmas. Seriously. We had the album all through my childhood, and to me, that brings back the best parts of what Christmas is supposed to be. I forget the lame parts of those years. No need to relive drama from years past.
My life is far from what most people consider "normal", or even tolerable by most people's standards. But I'm spending my day being creative, and that makes it a good day. The things missing, (like an apartment, car, material stuff) will be replaced in time. I' not sweating what I don't have, and I'm inside, warm, eating some good food, and spending my day doing what I most want to do.
Have a good day!
Here's what I'm working on today. You can find the details on these, and how to order them, in the last post, if you're an old school BMX freestyler.
