I have given in! As I was searching for music to listen to as I cleaned off my desk at school and sat down to update the blog, I saw my list of Christmas music. This includes about 50 songs (about 30 of them being my favorite Mannheim Steamroller selections). I hope that I won't quickly be sick of them, but I will try to keep the ones at home and the ones at school separate so that I don't overkill either group of them.
I am actually kind of proud of myself for holding out until post-Thanksgiving to begin, as opposed to the radio stations (and some insane listeners) who started playing/listening to them on Halloween!! One station said they actually start getting requests for Christmas music in August!! Ok, I realize it is never too early to be in the "Christmas Spirit;" that should be kept all year-round, but come on folks!
I was priviledged to hear Adam Sandler's "Thanksgiving Song" once this year and look forward to hearing his "Hannukah" song a few times. Stand-up people like that amaze me with their talent, and I think he does a good job of helping people recognize Hannukah as one of the December "holidays" instead of focusing solely on Christmas, whether you do that secularly or religiously.
Ok, just another rambling in the life of Megan. I will try to get Pret to put a word or two on here sometime, but don't hold your breath...
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and traveled safely wherever you ventured!

I hve to hold out as long as possible, otherwise I'm turning it off before Christmas.
I like Adam Sandler too, although I wish I could find an album of his with songs that aren't full of swear words. Sadly, I haven't found one yet.
Who is Adam Sandler and why should one listen to his offerings?
Jordan and I are big fans of the Sarah McLachlan album Wintersong. It is the style of music that both of us can listen to over and over.

After 3 years of retail, I now pretty much hate Christmas music. I get it 8 hours a day 5 days a week, from Black Friday until New Years. Yuck!
Poor Brooke looks forward to it every year and I'm the grinch that keeps it off the radio while we're together in the car.
I'm a big fan of the 101.9 method . . . one Christmas song every 15 minutes preformed by new/popular artists.
In reading the previous comments, I know I'm in the minority here, but I do love Christmas music. I'm really nostalgic, so I like listening to it and remembering things from yester year. Also, the past couple months have been extremely stressful for me, so listening to Christmas music has helped me have a better attitude about life in general.
