2024 Christmas Roundtable

Welcome to our 9th annual Christmas Roundtable! 2024 has been an interesting year. Here at BareBones we took a big step back this year with major life changes going on, but we are primed to knock the door down for 2025! BareBones Ent sat down with a bunch of bands and musicians to talk about Christmas and hopefully spread some cheer. Thank you to all of the bands below and here’s looking forward to 2025 and more amazing music!

BBE: What is your favorite thing about the holiday season?

PAD: For us it’s definitely the warm feelings of friends and family coming together. Good food, good vibes and good company ya know.

BBE: What is the best holiday memory you have?

PAD: I think it’s different for all of us. But most of us got our first musical instruments on the Holidays so that definitely is up there.

BBE: What is your favorite Christmas movie?

PAD: Either Home Alone 2, Diehard, The Family Man or The Family Stone. There’s no inbetween 

BBE: If you could be any holiday character who would it be and why?

PAD: Probably Jack Frost, he seems pretty cool. Also he’s described as a mischievous hero, which is what we like to think we are.

BBE: What is your favorite Christmas song?

PAD: “White Christmas” by Otis Redding or “Last Christmas” by Pistols at Dawn 😉

BBE: What is your favorite thing about the holiday season?
BS: Oddly enough, my favorite part of the holiday season comes when I’m commuting at night and get stuck in traffic. If there happens to be snow, this is an added bonus for sure! Something about being in the car, seeing the amount of people about, and listening to Christmas music – each year it is the one thing that really brings on the nostalgia.

BBE: What is the best holiday memory you have?
BS: Well I’m going to get in trouble because I’m not going to say that it is the 1st Christmas with my kids (lol). For me, there is no better memory than waking up with my brother when we were young on Christmas morning. We were so close it was like having your best friend with you at all times. The excitement was exemplified because we bounced it back and forth.

BBE: What is your favorite Christmas movie? 
BS: Everyone’s favorite Christmas movie should be Bad Santa 1 + 2 lol – I will just leave that here.

BBE: If you could be any holiday character who would it be and why? 
BS: Totally Rudolph. Why? Because, being underestimated is what I relate to, and when given the opportunity I will always show I’m a true leader. Or strive to be.

BBE: What is your favorite Christmas song?
BS: Any song in Home Alone haha – but Chuck Berry wins it for me with “Run Rudolph Run” – There are way too many slow, sad and outdated holiday songs, this one can stand the test of time!

BBE: What is your favorite thing about the holiday season? 

Tacboy: I’m a bit of a grinch but ever since living in New York I’ve taken a liking to the snow and coldiness. 

Sharkeyes: My favorite part of the holiday season is getting to see my friends and family. Sharing meals and gifts with those that I love. 

BBE: What is the best holiday memory you have?

Tacboy: Probably eating the pumpkin pies my mom makes every year. They are delicious and still taste the same as I remember them. 

Sharkeyes: Getting a Nintendo 64 and playing with my brother all Christmas morning. 

BBE: What is your favorite Christmas movie?

Tacboy: Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer. It used to air on Cartoon Network when I was a kid….. it’s really bad.

Sharkeyes: I’m not really a big Christmas movie guy but I remember watching How The Grinch Stole Christmas a few times as a kid during the holidays. 

BBE: If you could be any holiday character who would it be and why? 

Tacboy: Snoopy. I love sleeping hard and he always looks so damn cozy on top of his doghouse.

Sharkeyes: I would be Tiny Tim because that’s who I was forced to play in elementary school in my class’s rendition of The Christmas Carol. I was always the smallest and skinniest kid in the class. 

BBE: What is your favorite Christmas song?

Tacboy: “Greensleeves”

Sharkeyes: “Little Drummer Boy”
