No more blue christmas?

Jag har börjat lyssna på julsånger i bilden (jag jag vet att det är för tidigt, men jag måste ju lyssna in mig) En av låtarna på CD-skivan jag köpte på second hand är Natalie Cole's No More Blue Christmas (tror den sjungs av Charlotte Perelli). Jag började lyssna på texten (se längst ner) och insåg att det är ju fan inte konstigt att folk är olyckliga. Det är ju sådana budskap man matas med från barnsben! Att om man inte har en karl att fira jul med så måste man ju rimligtvis vara ledsen. Gud vad hemskt att behöva slå in julklappar och skriva julkort ALLDELES själv, dvs utan en man som kan sätta sitt namn bredvid ens eget.

Inte konstigt att jag och andra med mig går på nit efter nit, eller stannar i ett tråkigt slentrianförhållande i rädsla för att bli ensam.

Gå inte på det! Man kan VISST DET vara lycklig utan en äkta hälft! Både män och kvinnor!

Visst är det trevligt om man faktiskt hittar en själsfrände men hur troligt är det egentligen? Särskilt när man går runt i tron att man måste vara två för att vara hel. Nej! Man måste vara hel för att vara två! Trivs man inte med sig själv och sitt eget sällskap hur ska någon annan kunna trivas med dig?

Jag lovar, man är INTE ensammare som singel än som halva i ett par som inte kommunicerar. Tvärt om!

I've been listening to christmas songs in the car (yes I know it's too early, but I have to practise) One of the songs on the CD I bought second hand is Natalie Cole's No More Blue Christmas. I started listening to the lyrics (see firther down) and realised that it's not so damn strange that people are unhappy! This is the message fed into us since we were children! If you don't have a man to celebrate christmas with you're automatically supposed to be unhappy. How utterly terrible to have to wrap christmas presents and write christmas card ALL BY YOURSELF, that is, without a man to put his name next to your own.

Not strange at all that I and many with me end up in one loosing relationship after another or stay in a boring, unloving relationship because of fear of being alone. 

Don't buy into it! You CAN be happy without a spouse! Both men and women. Of course it's nice if you find your soul mate but how probable is that, really? Espcially when you're walking around thinking that you have to be two to be whole. No! You have to be whole to be two! If you don't like yourself how are others supposed to like you?

I promise, you are not lonelier alone than as a half in an uncommunicative relationship! On the contrary!

Natalie Cole – No More Blue Christmas' Lyrics

Ooh, no wonder that I thought that they were going out of style
I just had to meet you to make Christmas seem worthwhile

Last year when I had to send my Christmas cards
I had to sign my name alone
But now your name is next to mine
And there's more love in every line
I'm wishing a Merry Christmas to everyone I've known

No more blue Christmases they'll all be bright
No more just pretending to be happy when I'm sad
Going through the motions while others feel glad

No more blue Christmases now that I've found you
Oh, no wonder that I thought that they were going out of style
I just had to meet you to make Christmas seem worthwhile

Last year when I had to buy my Christmas gifts
I had to do it on my own
Ooh, champagne parties everywhere but without you I just didn't care
Now there's more than just a Christmas tree to decorate my home

No more blue Christmases now that I've found you
Oh, no wonder that I thought that they were going out of style
I just had to meet you to make Christmas seem worthwhile

No more blue Christmases now that I've found you
Ooh, no wonder that I thought that they were going out of style
I just had to meet you to make Christmas seem worthwhile, oh
I just had to meet you to make Christmas seem worthwhile

Merry Christmas everyone
