Christmas 2011
Tuesday, December 13, 2011 at 3:40PM Four choral concerts, one recital, a Messiah Singalong, and one partridge in a pear tree later, my Christmas is ready. I'm now ready to hear some juries, post some grades, visit the family, play at the ol' stompin' grounds in Houston, attend some parties, and put 2800 more miles on my car. And practice like mad.
Advent/Christmas arguments aside, I recommend Sirius/XM channel 75 for nonstop Christmas music. Driving around in the mountains where I live, enjoying people's Christmas lights and decorations, and listening to professional (not pop) Christmas recordings on satellite radio -- it all puts me in the spirit. I'm ready to go shopping and keep Scrooge at bay for another year.
I wish you, dear Reader, a magnificent Christmas and a Happy New Year.
