Naturally, this is Adele we're talking about, it wasn't a stuffy Christmas Greeting, or schmaltzy, or saccharine, or trite, or serious. It was, simply, Adele. 

INNIT!

In her recent interview with TIME Magazine, Adele pointed out the importance of keeping grounded, despite being one of the biggest stars on the planet: "I think it’s really important so that you don’t get f***ed up by everything. It’s important so you stay in touch with yourself. If you lose touch with yourself, no one’s going to want to talk to you or listen to anything you’re f***ing doing. They'll just point at you and laugh. At you, not with you... I'm very self-conscious that I have a kid, and I don’t want him being one of those d***heads, who grows up being, like, 'Driver, driver! I have no clean clothes!' 'Well, have you washed them?' I really don’t want him growing up like that. I’m very conscious of it."

As for other artists who haven't quite kept in touch with themselves, she added: "I feel like some artists - and this isn’t shading any artist, just me trying to come up with my own explanation - the bigger they get, the more horrible they get, and the more unlikable. And I don’t care if you make an amazing album - if I don’t like you, I ain’t getting your record. I don’t want you being played in my house if I think you’re a bastard.”
