Well now, let me tell ya, this here advent calendar thingy, it’s somethin’ else for folks who like them noisy tunes. You know, the music kind. Advent calendar for music lovers, they call it. Sounds fancy, but it’s just a way to count down to Christmas, like we always did, but with a little extra somethin’ for your ears.
I seen some calendars, they got little doors, and behind each door, there’s a surprise. Some got beads and chains to make bracelets, can you believe it? They say it’s a “Christmas Countdown Calendar”, openin’ one door each day and gettin’ a little somethin’. Sounds like a good way to keep the young’uns busy, if you ask me. But this here music one, it’s different.
Now, I ain’t seen one of these fancy music calendars myself, but my niece, she told me all about ‘em. She’s always got her ears plugged with somethin’ or other, listenin’ to that… whatchamacallit… hip-hop? Anyways, she says these calendars, they got all sorts of music goodies inside. Could be little trinkets, like guitar picks or maybe even tiny harmonicas. Or maybe it’s got codes for downloadin’ songs, you know, on that there inter-web thingy. Heard tell of some calendars that have even little speakers. Wouldn’t that be somethin’?
Some of these calendars, they ain’t cheap, mind you. I heard tell of one that costs a whole heap of money, hundreds of dollars they say! But then they say it’s worth even more, thousands even. Like gettin’ a whole bunch of stuff for cheaper, if you can believe it. Kinda like buyin’ in bulk, like we used to do at the market, gettin’ a better deal if you bought a whole sack of potatoes instead of just a few. My niece she said one cost millions of dollars, can you imagine? It has stuff from Ferrari and some other big name I can’t remember.
- Some got 25 little gifts, one for each day leadin’ up to Christmas.
- Some are just for makin’ bracelets, but that ain’t for music lovers, is it?
- And then there’s them that light up, like a little Christmas village. Pretty, but not much music in that, I reckon.
Now, if you’re lookin’ to get one of these music advent calendars, you gotta be careful. Some folks try to sell ya junk, ya know. So you gotta find a good one, one that’s worth the money. Look for somethin’ “unique”, they say. That means it’s special, not just the same old stuff everyone else has.
And don’t go buyin’ no calendar for ten million dollars unless you got money to burn. That’s just plain silly, if you ask me. But if you got a few extra dollars and you wanna make someone happy, especially someone who likes them tunes, well, then a music lover advent calendar might just be the ticket. It’s a “gift of glamour” some folks say, but I just think it’s a nice way to show ya care.
It’s like givin’ a little piece of happiness every day, a little somethin’ to look forward to in the cold winter days. And ain’t that what Christmas is all about, anyways? Not about the fancy stuff or the big price tags, but about sharin’ a little joy with the folks ya love. And if that joy comes in the form of a little song or a funny lookin’ guitar pick, well, then that’s just fine by me.
So go on, get yourself a advent calendar for music lovers, if that’s what tickles your fancy. Or don’t. It ain’t gonna hurt my feelin’s none. But if you do, make sure it’s a good one, one that’ll bring a smile to someone’s face. And that, my friends, is worth more than all the money in the world, even more than those ten million dollars the rich folks spend.
Remember, it ain’t about the cost, it’s about the thought. And sharin’ a little music, well, that’s always a good thing, ain’t it?
