Fiancé volunteered to spend Xmas with my family, participate in stocking exchange, etc, but now...?
He turns out to have some problems with Xmas, partially, I think, from a lousy childhood.
The nearer the 25th gets, the more complaints I hear. Apparently, the entire month of December is an excuse for a self-pity whingeing festival.
My family has started a little thing of exchanging names, and being a 'secret Santa' for another family member's stocking. I thought we'd do it together, but he went ahead (some weeks ago) and volunteered to go in on it by himself.
And to fully participate in all seasonal what-not at my parents' house. (His parents: 1 dead, 1 in another country.)
He's a miserable sod about everything holiday-related, though, and now I'm wary of taking him over for even Xmas dinner. Never mind that I can't stand the complaining and it's ruining my holiday; I don't even want to think about how embarrassing it would be to have him ruin a dozen other people's if he carries on as per usual.
Do I abandon him for the day and tell my family he's a Scrooge, or?
I'd sit down with him and find out why he really is miserable. And take the time to remind him that even if his childhood holidays stunk he's an adult now and the 2 of you are starting your lives together, and you want that life to include happy holidays.

Exchange $14.38 Michael Fakesch, formerly half of the electro duo Funkstörung, has focused much of his energy as a solo artist on creating music and sound design for TV commercials (some of them quite high-profile) and film scores. But in his spare time he has continued doing remix work for friends and colleagues, and this excellent compilation shows that he's still at the top of his game. It opens with a gleefully varied mix of Mr. Oizo's "Lambs Anger/Jo," which opens with a sharply lurching intro, then careens from house to breaks to blips without a care in the world. Things stay in that crazy-like-a-genius mode for quite some time: his remix of Booka Shade's "Mandarine Girl" starts out with blocky glitches and then subsides into beautifully swinging funk; Von Südenfed's "Rhinohead" gets a heavy-footed Parliament groove with aggressively chopped-up rock guitars; Notwist's "Gloomy Planets" juxtaposes sweetly lovely vocals with hiss-funk backing sonics. Singer Taprikk Sweezee is this album's secret weapon: he appears on several tracks, delivering an unhinged falsetto here (Towa Tei's "Taste of You") and a yowling Larry Blackmon imitation there (Kidkanevil's "Black Bug"). But Fakesch's fingerprints are on every cut-up sample, every relentlessly tweaked 808 beat, and every squelched chord, and it's his particular brilliance that turns this wildly varied program into a coherent whole. ~ Rick Anderson, Rovi |
