As I type this, the west wind (and its witch) are raging outside. Whatever leaves were staple-gunned to their trees will surely be off by the morning. My cousin has just bought a snow blower, the ugly sweaters are sold out at TJMaxx, and Bing/Nat/Frank and Rosemary are warbling old carols on every station...except for Jazz 90.1 of course, which offers (IMHO) much more sophisticated holiday fare. But for sure, tis the season, no matter if your eggnog is low-fat or premium or on the rocks.
But no Christmas songs on 2 on the Aisle! Not yet anyway. Surprise, surprise, surprise (tip of the hat to Jim Nabors!), there are NOT hundreds of Broadway holiday songs. And those that do exist will be heard on my December 24th show, all herded into 2 fabulous hours, you can be sure! So grit your teeth and listen to "other" music this Sunday, like Bernadette and Audra...Julie and Zero...a lovely theme...and one most happy fella.
Cuz back "in the day", we got our Christmas tree on the 22nd. We put up decorations on the 22nd. We let Thanksgiving's aura slowly dissipate (that's turkey and dressing and Uncle Bill's cigar fumes to you) and only started Christmas-ing when school closed. Then. THEN. And anyway, if you put up a real tree (as I do) on December 1st, there won't be a needle left by brunch on the 25th. Buy me a silver (or pink!) aluminum, then we'll talk. :)
