It's the only Christmas music that my husband will listen to "on purpose." <br /><br />He has a lot of really bad associations with the holiday, and it's a tough time for him. But TSO's first Christmas album has made him less of a Grinch.<br /><br />I really love James Taylor's Christmas album. His voice is so pure and gentle.Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627214346956206283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-30090178852792529312013-11-05T12:16:32.967-05:002013-11-05T12:16:32.967-05:00Since we often travel to NC for Thanksgiving I usu...Since we often travel to NC for Thanksgiving I usually put a Christmas music playlist on our mp3 player for the drive home. But in recent years Mike hasn't really wanted to THINK about Christmas until about December 20th. And since I only ever listen to audio books when I'm alone in the car I don't really listen to Christmas music much anymore. Which makes me sad because I LOVE to sing. <br /><br />So I'm making a pledge to myself - for the week before I take off work for Christmas I'm going to listen to music in the car instead of a book. Even if it does turn me into the Road Rage Driver from Hell.

I generally hate novelty Christmas songs. I'm very much a traditionalist as well. I complain bitterly over there about the Carpenters' song "Merry Christmas Darling"--so boring!--and Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You"--so ubiquitous!Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627214346956206283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-37745285536816762462013-11-03T23:49:20.893-05:002013-11-03T23:49:20.893-05:00My brother's birthday is December 6th, so grow...My brother's birthday is December 6th, so growing up, there could be NO CHRISTMAS until December 7th. Of course, that wasn't so crazy then.<br /><br />We sometimes wait until the 7th, sometimes until the 1st, sometimes Thanksgiving weekend. But never before the Sunday following Thanksgiving. <br /><br />Personally, I'm a traditionalist, and enjoy the religious songs most (funny, since I'm atheist), followed by a little "Charlie Brown Christmas" and perhaps some Ira Stein/Russel Wilder. "Santa Baby" and "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer" can kiss my butt.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653383372182667361noreply@blogger.com
