My parents are watching Americas Funniest Videos.
It’s almost 2022.

Let’s be honest: closing with the hallelujah chorus is a cheap stunt to get yourself a standing ovation.

[Mike Baughman @ireverant]

Everything else aside—i tear up to the last verse of Hark the Herald Angels Sing every time

I’m listening to the most somber version of Jingle Bells that has ever existed. Wtf? Is this a funeral for all bells ever? Did the arranger of this song find the head of a horse named Jingle in his bed? Did he NOT READ THE WORDS OF THE SONG?
Oh what FUN it is to ride!

Why on Gods Christmas world does anyone think this song needs to be
A) choral
B) arranged for a fancy orchestra
C) longer!!

[Mike Baughman @ireverant]

Fuck me.
They’re doing an unnecessarily elongated version of the twelve days of Christmas.
Do they know how long this song is without adding in a fuck ton of lilts and canons and string solos?

[Mike Baughman @ireverant]

😂😂
Real story…
Lady behind me: which day are we on?
Guy behind me: the 5th
Lady: ugh. Okay.

The children just sang a song that has something to do with Pat-a-Pat-pan. I have a masters degree in theology and I can’t figure out what the hell is happening in this Christmas concert

[Mike Baughman @ireverant]

Remind me why live music is a thing?
Don’t people have Spotify and Beats headphones?
There’s no choreography at a community choir Christmas concert and no story other than the one of a really bored guy in the audience.
Woah. That’s really self centered

[Mike Baughman @ireverant]

One of them just started clapping enthusiastically when he thought the song was over.
It wasn’t over.
His wife cackled with laughter.
I hope my wife and I are like that when I’m old.
Except I hope I don’t have to go to concerts when I’m old

[Mike Baughman @ireverant]

There’s a really old couple sitting behind me.
They think they’re speaking quietly to each other

[Mike Baughman @ireverant]

There are twenty songs in the program tonight.
Twenty songs.
That’s unnecessary.
One of them is about Jesus Christ and an Apple tree.
This is not necessary

[Mike Baughman @ireverant]

I’m at a community Christmas concert and I don’t really like live music but I’m trying to be a good son. Please pray for me.

That moment when all of your sermon examples are from Musical Theater and Denise Lee is in the congregation. Also, Thiago X. Nascimento was playing piano, basically playing an on-the-spot score for the whole service.
