Let's talk Christmas music

I look forward to listening to Christmas music during this season. I love the fact that WSNE and WWLI have been playing nothing but Christmas music. Now, you can even play it over your computer while you're at work!

I must own at least 70 Christmas CDs. That's not counting the ones I've recorded for myself. Some are the "oldies" that remind me of my childhood. Some are a little more modern. But over the years, I keep going back to the same tradition of playing The Carpenter's Christmas Portrait. That one is my all-time favorites. I've actually worn through one album (remember those round, black, vinyl thingies?), out grown another album and over-played one CD so it skips constantly during "Little Altar Boy." Last year I broke down and bought another CD.

I can't just play the CD any old time. I have to wait until I put up my REAL Christmas tree. That's my tradition.

This weekend, I'm looking forward to picking out my real tree and listening to Richard and the late Karen Carpenter sing "The Christmas Waltz", "Merry Christmas Darling" and "I'll Be Home for Christmas" while decorating the tree.
