5 songs to… make it a rock’n’roll flavoured Christmas

He put some tech in your Christmas last week and now our music maestro, Mood Swings, is here to add a flavour of rock'n'roll to put a twist in your hips this festive season.

In the end, whether we like it or not, Christmas is all about family. All your crazy aunts, uncles and cousins under a single roof a single time per year, meaning not only certain disaster but also an undeniable warmth and peace (if you got your mother the right present, that is). It must be all about the tradition: you always eat the same reassuring family menu, always see the same reassuring (?) faces and always get the same reassuring presents ("Thanks I loooooooove it!").

I'm all for evolution and the constant research for new and exciting stuff in all aspects of life, but Christmas is that one time a year you can stop, sit down, enjoy what's around you and get pampered by your mum.

That's why this week I've selected 5 reassuring songs to keep you warm while you stuff your face with Christmas delicacies and ignore your family's opinion on your hair.
