Let's talk Christmas carols.
Some people hate them. It's true that people have gotten a little trigger happy with the holiday albums. I'm as mad as the rest of you when stores play Christmas music before Thanksgiving. But Black Friday hits and game on. The soundtrack to A Charlie Brown Christmas? Check. Trans-Siberian Orchestra, The Lost Christmas Eve? Check. Bing Crosby's Christmas classics? Check.
I set my ITunes Christmas playlist on repeat, pop in the holiday Partridge Family and N'Sync cds (back off...they're good!), and cheerfully drift off to the strains of the knock-off Jingle Bells, "Yingle Bells." That one actually features the line "I should have worn long underwear in that one-horse open sleigh" sung in a Swedish accent. It doesn't get much better than that. (Oh my god...I just found it online. Experience the wonder...)
But still...Even I tire of my music by the second week of constant play. I sadly start to think that maybe those carol-haters have a point. Well. We can't have that. And this year I've found a solution.
Christmas radio on your computer! Totally free! The ads are a little annoying, but that's a small price to pay for Mariah Carey's Christmas tunes. And you don't have to experience the shame of buying them! Everybody's happy. Well...except that Swede in the sleigh.
