I can understand the feeling. It can be tiring to hear the same standards over and over again.
*thinks of Last Christmas, White Christmas and Give Love on Christmas Day* :rolleyes:
Listening to Slayer easily compensates Christmas songs :)

My favourite though is a sad one:


It's about Christmas peace in 1914, WW1

The English title is "When the weapons fell silent"

Here's the English lyrics:
When the Weapons were Silent
It was cold in Flanders, an Christmas day,
After so much war,
In the year 1914, Winter of the world,
When the weapons were silent
From the trenches*, opposed to the death,
sounded a simple song,
In many languages, "Silent Night"
created a miracle.

When all the weapons were silent,
and silence broke,
a song from the trenches*
promised peace,
for a moment, no more desire for victory,
the soldiers were also human**
when the weapons were silent.

A sea of candles along the trenches*,
Lit the night,
And bold guards, lifting their hands,
Abandoned their posts,
Soon, they sang together,
Enemies, soldiers,
Out of the trenches*,
Celebrating Christmas,
During the war, with death and with dirt

When all the weapons were silent,
and silence broke,
a song from the trenches*
promised peace,
for a moment, no more desire for victory,
the soldiers were also human**
when the weapons were silent.

In the moment, so much hope,
In the moment, so much luck,
The moment was a promise,
but the path led back
Back to cold trenches*,
Back to suffering and death
All hope was extinguished,
The next morning.
When the weapons were silent ...

*The word "trenches" appears six times in the English, but there are two words use in the German. The first and final times the word "Schützengräben" is used. The middle four times the word "Gräben" is used. "Schützengräben" is made of two parts "Schützen," meaning protection, and "Gräben," meaning graves. So the middle four instances of "trenches" is literally the word "graves" in the German.

**Meaning the soldiers were not simply soldiers anymore, but they had their humanity returned.

This song is so emotional and beautiful! The way it describes the dreadful events and the peace of that night is heart touching! It must have been a beautiful moment! And the final message is, that at the end, we are all human.

Fireworks aren't usually a Christmas tradition, but I'll light some off so you have something neat to watch :D

It's good you're here. You can keep the business running until I slept out (some of) my blood-alcohol-count :p

Good night! ^^

Who's the dragon now, @DRGN Juno?

Pfft, I don't think you'll even be able to sleep off some of it. You've gone too deep into the bottle XD. Still, I wish you luck. You are stronger than the hangover! Sleep tight!

Ok, ok! You can still be the dragon! I'll be back with chainmail armor fit for a guinea pig! Artificial metal scales :D

Hm!
I tried to come up with a joke with the number zero to promote a game reset, but my brain doesn't let go of the idea of changing 'Juke Box Hero' to 'Juke Box Zero'.
So I'll just post the song for no reason and reset the game instead of making that terrible pun.
