Day 24: Idols/Singers Sharing Pictures of Snow or Christmas Trees
Here's Yves near a Christmas tree.
Does the release of a picture from a magazine photoshoot count as Yves sharing it?

Day 21: Upbeat Holiday Song
https://youtu.be/2f4BDCe28sw?si=xh-PvTko_zV6LdHQ
One might be inclined to think this is a cover of a Western song, but as far as I am aware this is an SM original written by Kenzie. Anyway, it's a great song!
Confession: In my Kpop infancy, I did not immediately undertstand that SNSD and Girls' Generation were one and the same group!
Look at me catching up!

I have to choose my fave 2024 Christmas song, and these three faves for #TheLastChristmasChallenge because LOOK at them! Sungwoonie the angel in a fluffy sweater, Taemin in cutest of cuties mode and Lee Mujin's face .. he is SO NOT here for it and it makes me giggle.

Day 18 -- Holiday Movie You Would Watch With Your Bias(es)
The invitees: all of my biases. so quite a quite a lot of idols. Here is an incomplete list from the beginning of the year: https://c.im/@jemmesedi/111693952710099235
The setting: screening room with comfortable armchairs and sofas, plus lots of blankets and cushions.
The refreshments: hot tea and Walker's shortbread.*
The film: The Snowman (1982)
I chose this 25 minute animation because it's a charming holidayish film without any dialogue, the only words being those of the song "Walking in the Air" *. As such, it would be suitable for viewers with limited English.
The film, based on a wordless picture book by Raymond Briggs, was made in 1982 for the British TV station Channel 4. It's become a staple of British holiday viewing, but I am not sure that it is that well known beyond the UK.
The through-composed score by Howard Blake works so well.
Although the film is suitable for young viewers, it isn't babyish. It doesn't have any religious content, nor could it be considered remotely controversial in any way.
I think the Snowman is an ideal film for sharing with idols, and you all might enjoy it too!
Day 10 - Favourite Boy Group Holiday Song
How about the new one from Stray Kids because it's a bop and the MV is adorbs.

Day 15 -- Another Live Performance of Holiday Music.
Here on an "X-Mas Special" recorded years ago are the Brown Eyed Girls singing not "Silent Night", still less "O Holy Night ", but instead "Moody Night", with its opening lines of >> Uh, you wanna, uh I wanna/ I know you want it too (Yeah) << ....different but delightful.

LOONA Heejin, Chuu, and Kim Lip being silly and possibly dashing the hopes of overenthusiastic shippers.

Day 13: Current bias in holiday attire.
I think Eunha's red beret counts as holiday attire. Anyway, I love berets on idols and Eunha is my bias, so this is my post for Day 13.

Holiday variety show...
I haven't really been watching variety shows, so here's a performance from You Heeyeol's Sketchbook since that show is kinda variety in between music performances...

Day 11 -- Holiday Music Video
aespa -- Forever
https://youtu.be/wog1R1d4zls?si=0HvTLCRUSAmnBevM
This remake of an older SM song was released in February 2021, but the visual and the whole mood of the song have convinced me this digital single was originally intended for the 2020/2021 holiday season.
I really like their vocals here. I know it's not an original song of theirs, but I wish there was more of this side of aespa, as opposed to savage techwear inyourfaceishness. Would it be unreasonable to hope for more in the vein of "Welcome to MY World"?
