We have had XM radio for about 6 years. Did I ever share the story of how I crashed the van tuning it and took out two mailboxes on my street? A story for another time.
Anywho, XM has 5 stations strictly dedicated to Holiday music starting right after Thanksgiving. I love it because I have options!! While at home, I listen to our multitudinous collection of Christmas CDs, but while in the car I have the following options:
Holly....tried, really tried to listen to it, but Christmas carols by Lady GaGa, or whoever, doesn't float my boat
Hanukkah.....even though in his younger years, many people thought my dad was Jewish, I really don't have an interest. How many Dreidel songs are there?
Traditions....I like this one, but when they play "The Christmas Song" over and over again, I get a little tired of it, and I love that song!!! I can tell it is coming on by the violin swell at the beginning!
XM Pops...my favorite choice because they play choral numbers and orchestrations of classical Christmas pieces and the one I usually stick with, although I flip over to Traditions when I am needing a boost in my jolly meter
Christmas in the country...Ummmmm, no.....Johnny Cash had a great story, but I have decided that he, Willie Nelson and Dolly Parton must have had great agents, cause they can't sing!!!
