Torchwood Christmas Videos

Written on September 17 or 18.

Once again the holidays are upon us, starting with Halloween next month. Followed by Thanksgiving and Christmas. And I want to talk about the Christmas holiday.

Last night, something brought me to remember Christmas was coming up, so I was like, "I am going to have to make a Christmas CD." As I was pulling music together, I remembered the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. And I found out that they are going to be in the Chicago area in December so I talked to mom about getting tickets. Eventually, I was able to order the tickets. I think that dad is going to have a heart attack or kill me when I give him the tickets. I am so excited to give him the Trans-Siberian Orchestra tickets as an early Christmas present and the Blue Man Group tickets at Christmas. I also can't wait to see mom's face when she gets her Paula Deen kitchen set.

So, anyway, as I was finding stuff on TSO, I was listening to Christmas music and "Santa, Bring My Soldier Home" by The Stunners was playing. Listening to it, I realized that it could be from Ianto's point of view because Jack is gone (between seasons one and two) and Jack is also a soldier. Okay, well, he claims to be. But that is besides the point!

I downloaded TSO's "The Christmas Attic" CD and I was going through the songs. When I got to the songs "The Music Box" and "The Snow Came Down," I realized that they could be Jack and Ianto's points of view. I went with "The Music Box" for Ianto because he gave everything for Jack and he loved him. And as the song feels, he still loves him, even though "their relationship did not work out."

When I listened to "The Snow Came Down," I also knew that it would be for Jack because he is alone, he lost Ianto because "their relationship did not work out," after all these years, he still loved him, and finally, after all those years, "they walked away together."

So, I have two songs (one happy and in love, the other sad) for Ianto and one song (sad with a happy ending) for Jack. I want to find a happy and in love song for Jack but I can't! So, I will have to ask dad.

So, what it comes down to is that, when I am on Christmas break, I am going to make four more videos for Jack and Ianto!
