This is a small little christmas treat for all of you. I know it's
cheesy and kinda lame but I had some spare time after exams and I
really wanted to dedicate myself to working on one complete musical
idea thing, instead of working on a bunch of songs and never finishing
them. I wholly believe in the power of 'seasonal music' or music that
puts you in a seasonal feel (i.e. music that feels 'autumny' or
'wintery') so that's what I tried to do with this record.

This was recorded from dec. 11 - dec. 19, some things at ryerson, most
in my messy bedroom. I wrote and performed all the stuff you hear,
except for #1, which was written by me and the beautiful christine de
castro, who also sang some backups (listen closely, you'll hear her).

I dedicate it to all of you and your wonderful holiday adventures, to my own family, and to christine :)

merry christmas! happy new years!


love, marcel.


ps. I actually handmade about 20 or so copies of this to hand out to friends and family. if you want one, let me know!
