Christmas Music
Comments (10)I loved it--listened to it twice. I love Sarah Mclachian's voice. We have to remember Canada had their Thanksgiving last month--very sensible, IMHO. I probably will be tired of it before Christmas but it sure sounded nice tonight....See MoreHave your radio stations started Christmas music?
Comments (15)We sing in a Christmas chorale and have to memorize all our music. That's pretty much all the Christmas music I can get into. We have a local radio station that starts playing non-stop Christmas music about a week before Thanksgiving. I refuse to listen to that station any longer. There's only so much Burl Ives' Holly Jolly Christmas and Brenda Lee's Rockin Around the Christmas Tree I can stomach. I only listen to Sirius radio, my iTunes music or one local talk radio station. If there is a weather emergency and I happen to be in the car, I will tune into a local station for updates....See MoreChristmas Music
Comments (67)"In the meadow we can built a snowman, and pretend that he is Justice of the Peace Brown. He'll say 'are you joined in legal union', We'll say 'no man, but you can do the job when you're in town'..." Or do you prefer the religious version ;-) But really, Winter Wonderland -- I agree with what I think (I might be wrong) you said earlier -- is a song unlikely to offend a person of normal religious or un-religious sensibility. It's rightly popular at holiday time for obvious reasons: how lovely to share in the happiness of a young couple in love and looking forward to sharing their life together. The Corb Lund song about growing older, outliving friends, being left out of your kid's holiday plans ... I doubt it will ever achieve even a fraction of Winter Wonderland's popularity. But as I grow older, I don't mind pondering the resilient old man and his animals. It makes me glad my own dad is still here, still close enough, to visit with. I've clicked on many of the links to songs above and have enjoyed them all....See MoreChristmas music has started
Comments (28)I appreciate any concerns about my feelings about the past and Christmas, but don't fret, happily things did get better, much better when I became an adult. I did my best to make Christmas a happy and memorial time of the year for my family with what little life experience I had. I didn't tell that story for pity, just to emphasize that passing judgements on people who for whatever reason just don't share the same warm and fuzzy feelings about Christmas music or Christmas anything is not very Christian-like. There are many sad stories surrounding the Holiday causing people to have a hard time dealing with others insisting that they be merry and jolly because it's Christmas and they are supposed to be too. I don't begrudge people of their music and traditions at Christmas, or their joy, but I do wish that it wasn't shoved into our faces everywhere we go months before the holiday. Amy seems to be saying that people are not wanting her to be able to enjoy her Christmas music anytime she wants to hear it. I don't think anyone is trying to keep her from it, but she might think of being considerate enough to realize that not everyone else wants to....See MoreFlamingO in AR
