I’m not talking about the typical Christmas tunes that are blasted everywhere even a month before Christmas arrives. I’m talking about songs to suit my Christmas mood. I’ve never celebrated Christmas, and I don’t intend to either. What’s up with Santa, log cakes, turkeys and Christmas presents? It’s all overly commercialised. Businessmen are laughing all the way to the bank as I write.
When I think of Christmas, I think of chilling weather and snow. The scene of a snowy peaceful town appears in my mind. That’s all I can relate Christmas to; Winter. I don’t care about the food, presents, some red old man or even the birth of a religious figure. However, there’s no winter here.

Some might think that it’s pathetic that I have to spend Christmas eve and the actual day alone at home facing the computer instead of partying outside, but with the right music to accompany me, it’s all good. In this event, sleepy.ab couldn’t be more suitable.

Firstly, Hokkaido is one of my most favourite places in Japan, and not only does the band originate from there, they manage to fuse the “sound” and feel of the North into their music. I get the nice feeling of being in a light snow shower when I listen to their music, even if it’s just snowing in my heart. That’s a feeling I can never get as long as I’m in Singapore.

Oh, how I wish for snow…
