My kpop present to myself is a kpop keychain, with a pink gummy bear and the letters K and E standing for the idol....

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?

Kei is just right for this sort of song.

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!

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!
