a Christmas Playlist

a Christmas Playlist...
For the ones that are sending mails "how are you and what are you listening to?" and also for the others... A Xmas gift for them

As a Christmas gift please only read this post if you were a nice boy or girl during the 10 months of 2008 and if you have more than 18 years old... Ok. Even if you behaved not that good you can read it but with the promise that you will behave better at least during the remaining months of 2008

so full your ears with nice tunes and your iPod with nice megabytes. a tip: use the nice little blue bird to download it all free ;)

Make your iPod a 6 stars hotel where you can chill in your chaise longue... if you don't have a chaise longue, try a wooden chair: I am trying it now and it is really good for your back.
