NIKI ❤❤ i adore your playlists and please know "big city feeling" is right next to "blue christmas" because alphabetical order!! however i was wondering if you intended to put the Treasure Planet track in blue christmas? it's an interesting addition but feels a bit out of place BUT IF YOU DID that's cool!! i will continue to play the fk out of it this christmas ❤❤
This is great, Niki! :( (sorry for only getting to comment now!) I'd just like to share, too, that we don't even have our decorations up yet at home and I have no idea if we're going to put much effort into the tree this year, which does make me sad. But what's heartening for me is seeing how many of my relatives (especially the younger ones!) are thinking of ways to celebrate remotely. Since we're definitely not going to our lola's house for noche buena this year, one of my cousins (based in California now) organized a Zoom call for all of us and taught as how to dance the choreography to the chorus of Dynamite HAHA. My mom has constantly been trying to think of an online routine we can do, too. And I'm still trying to draft the children's story that I plan to "gift" to my entire extended family via a reading or something hahaha.
It's definitely not the year for a rom-com Christmas, though. And I relate so painfully to the tendency to romanticize this time of year, in the hopes of making it seem less sad. Thank you for your words and your sincerity. I hope the tree shines extra bright for you this year!
(I can totally hear the St. Vincent in the new song, by the way hehe I can almost make out the crazier production that I'm sure you'd want it to have!! I have little to contribute by way of music, but if you haven't heard this one before, please enjoy my favorite (a cappella!) secular Christmas song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfmBuIA6frE)

Don't know what this Christmas will bring. I just wish the best for everyone.
