when it comes to Christmas music. I HATE it. I do all of my Christmas shopping online or before Thanksgiving so I don't have to go out and hear it piped incessantly into my ears. I don't listen to the radio for the month of December just to avoid it.
Why? I'll tell you. I get incredibly tired of hearing all of the same "classic" songs sung over and over again by anyone who ever got a record deal. I also get tired of hearing the lame attempts by people to write new Christmas songs (I'm looking at you, Stephen Colbert). Hence, my decision to stay away from all things Christmas music.
In college, my roommates knew to turn off the Christmas music when I returned to our dorm room. I wasn't very nice about it, I'll admit. I probably glared at them or whined until they turned it off. Thanks for being good sports, guys!
Anyway, I do love Christmas specials, and especially the claymation marvels made by the Rankin-Bass team. My absolute favorite is Rudolph. Today, I discovered that I could buy the entire Rudolph soundtrack on iTunes, so I did. I also discovered that Michael Buble's new Christmas CD (although it's almost entirely covers of classic Christmas songs) made me smile. I'm pretty sure that man could sing a beer commercial and I'd like it. The point is that there are now a total of three Christmas CDs that are acceptable in our house (the first being my beloved N*SYNC Christmas album from 1998).
