Poppies and Papercuts

The first snowfall of the year always brings a little holiday spirit into our home. Here is my confession: I am one of those people that could listen to Christmas music everyday for the next two months straight and not get sick of it! I love it and I have such a hard time understanding why people bitch and moan that the radio stations and mall's play it beginning the 1st of November. They cringe as though they just walked by a homeless person and took in a deep breath! When I was young and worked retail during the holidays, I had to hear my coworkers complain that the music was "unbearable". I was always too embarrassed to admit that I loved it and that as soon as I got into my car at the end of that shift, I would be playing it on the radio, too! Instead, I agreed with them and followed by saying things like, "I know, it's like, totally ridiculous" or "I can't believe how totally lame this is", when inside I was beaming and singing along in my head....because I know every word to every Christmas song and I can also tell you who sings it! Growing up, my mother played records of Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole singing their holiday favorites! Now, we are fortunate to have not 1, but 2 radio stations here that play it all day everyday. So here is to all the Christmas music lovers of the world! Stand up proud and sing your hearts out this holiday season! Thanks to KOSY 106.5 and FM 100, We can get into the spirit NOW!
