2-cent Good Christmas was created as a Music Video Parody for the holidays back in 2010. But every year around christmas I can’t get enough of this. This parody makes fun of Eminem, Gucci Mane, Waka Flocka, Rick Ross, Willow Smith, Chris Brown, Rihanna, Kanye West, Birdman, Nicki Minaj, Plies, Drake, Lil Wayne, Wyclef, and Lady Gaga.
During the holiday seasons most designers try to create something new and creative. For example, Spanish architect Teresa Sapey has designed CHRISMY for Spanish manufacturer VONDOM. This Christmas tree looks sleek and modern and the most important looks even better surrounded by other Christmas trees of different sizes.
Even though Christmas is not a traditional Japanese celebration, few places in the world mark December 25 with such gusto as Tokyo. The Shangri-La Hotel, Tokyo has announced a WISH.forJapan Christmas package that is available December 10-25. 10 percent of the price, which starts at Y52,000 per night will go to support people affected by the earthquake and tsunami that struck northeast Japan in March. The hotel, which opened in March 2009 in the top 11 floors of the 37-storey Marunouchi Trust Tower alongside Tokyo Station, launched its WISH.forJapan charitable program immediately after the disasters struck. The package includes a special bottle of spumante, made by Bottega of Italy, which created a one-off white bottle featuring the logo of the program, as well as WISH candy made by Papabubble, which is originally from Barcelona. Guests will also enjoy a Christmas cake made by the hotel’s executive pastry chef and breakfast at the Restaurant Piacere or The Lobby Lounge, as well as access to the hotel’s health club and swimming pool.
Once again, Dior’s head fashion designer John Galliano is returning to The Claridge’s Hotel in London for the holidays with his Dior Christmas Tree. For 2010, Galliano is creating a truly dazzling design, using the ocean as his muse for his “Under the Sea” Christmas tree. Made of sparkling silver leaves, pink coral, sea horses, fish, anemones, starfish and jelly fish, this whimsical design is truly one of a kind. Last year he designed an Asian-inspired tree that featured snow leopards, dragon flies and parrots among its baby blue, “frozen” branches.
This festive season, Claridge’s, the art-deco gem will be transformed to an oceanic paradise with Galliano’s extraordinary creation. Commenting on the collaboration, Dior Creative Director John Galliano says, “The majestic beauty of Claridge’s Art Deco interiors never fails to inspire me. I am thrilled to be invited to create a new tree for Christmas at Claridge’s. I wanted to create an underwater fantasy and have mixed pink corals, seahorses, anemones and jellyfish, all glinting like gem stones, swimming amidst the silver leaves.”
“I hope we create something as sumptuous as its setting and this inspires a truly luxurious escape and a very festive season at Claridge’s.” Thomas Kochs, Claridge’s Hotel Manager, commented, “We are excited to see the return of the legendary John Galliano, who will once again create the Christmas magic in our lobby. Following his spectacular tree last year, we simply could not resist to see the new design which will keep London talking throughout the season.
Both Claridge’s and Dior are synonymous with timeless glamour and impeccable heritage and we look forward to celebrating the festive season together.” The tree was unveiled in the lobby of the hotel on 25th November, 2010 and will be on display until 5th January, 2011.
