Hi again! Sorry it's been a few days, I've been busy trying to get everything together for Christmas while juggling work and studies.

Thank you for the recommendations! I'll definitely want to listen to them. And that's really cool that they include all the members on vocals like that! I put on Deceptive Bends now, and I'm only on the third song but I like the softness of the music, it's something I'd put on on a sunny Sunday or a relaxing Friday night. But that's just the first impression.

Ooh, do you have any favourite songs from Beatles or Zeppelin?

Well, White Christmas (Bing Crosby version) is one that always makes it feel like Christmas for real. Also The Christmas Song and Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas. Holy Night is one that can bring me to tears with the right arrangement (even though I'm not a bit religious). I also always thought that Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton's "Christmas to Remember" was so very romantic.

What are your plans for the holidays? It's so close now! Me and my partner managed to get a tree today, though forgot to ask to have the bottom of the trunk cut fresh so we're going out for a new try with that tomorrow x) and also to get some presents. Tomorrow we're also gonna try to get the apartment finished decorating. Christmas Eve is the big day here, so there's not much time left, and we would like to have the 23rd to just relax.

Santa darling, how goes it??

I hope you’re doing well! and no worries, I’ve been busy with work and school myself. I’m just glad this semester is finally over and that I have the rest of this week off work to just take a breather 😮‍💨

Omg! I hope you know you just put a smile on my face knowing you were listening to DB 😭 Please that entire album just screams ✨Eric Stewart supremacy✨ to me 😫 that man literally put his heart and soul into that album and I’m so proud of him for that 😌 Eric plays both guitar and piano and probably other strange instruments on that album and if I’m not mistaken, he was also the mastermind behind producing Bends. I feel like DB was Eric’s way of showcasing his brilliance as a multi-instrumentalist and I think that’s what makes that album extra special to me. I know I’ve probably mentioned this before, but that album was really what made me fall in love with 10cc, but more importantly with Eric. Also as an aside, I don’t know I’ve mentioned this already but I kinda have a thing for multi-instrumentalists lol (i’m talking to you Eric Stewart and John Paul Jones).

As far as Beatles songs, I love Helter Skelter, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Here, There and Everywhere, Day Tripper and Paperback Writer. My favourite Zep songs are probably Misty Mountain Hop, Black Dog, Stairway, Immigrant Song, When the Levee Breaks, D’yer Mak’er and No Quarter.

And those are some great Christmas classics also! I know this is probably gonna sound silly but I also like The Chipmunk Song by Alvin and the Chipmunks. I think that song is just too stinkin’ cute! 💗

Ah and the holidays, I’m always bad at preparing for them lol I still have to do some Christmas shopping. Not that I have a lot to buy or anything BUT I always get extra generous around this time of year and feel obligated to buy presents for people. Also I’m pretty stoked bc this week, I’m thinking about buying myself a bass guitar for Christmas (thank you, John Paul Jones). And that’s nice that you’re taking some time off for a little R & R, we all need that sometimes ☺️

Wishing you a lovely rest of the week and happy holidays in advance! 🎄
