Sitting outside on a park bench in Amsterdam, taking a break from jumping over tram rail on roller skates in the dark during the annual Santa Skate, I cued up the Christmas YouTube video �Flocons Blancs� by Bl� on my phone to entertain some Dutch skaters.
Bl� is a young and fresh Qu�bec duo whose Christmas song has become a sleeper favourite there if we believe the Internet. And while I was showing it to people who don�t speak French, they said that the video had nice retro colours, another reason to enjoy it.
If you�re fed up with the usual No�l fare, then �Flocons Blancs� is a great song, even if the only words you can sing out loud are �Ferme tes yeux� (�Close your eyes�). �Close your eyes and remember a time when the lights seemed much brighter� sounds like nice retro colours to me as well.
Joyeux No�l et Bonne Ann�e !
