Time to Get back to normal, whatever that is

Christmas may be "the most wonderful time of the year", it definitely is one of the most stressful with all the traffic, people scurrying to get all their shopping done, sometimes fighting for the last Tickle me Elmo or PS3 or whatever the rage is this year. Now is the time to return any gifts that don't work, don't fit or are duplicates, or regift them at a later date. And move on. 2006 is almost gone, time to make New Year's resolutions, no need to wait until Jan. 1, put the so-called "War on Christmas" or PC greetings behind.

Christmas Songs

On a road trip this weekend we couldn't help but notice that most stations play the same Christmas songs over and over. I can handle Burl Ives' Holly Jolly Christmas and different versions of Silver Bells, but White Christmas YUCK! regardless of who sings it. The one about "chestnuts roasting on amn open fire" got old decades ago. Enough already! How about a few different ones. There was a duet with Eddie Money and Ronee Spector and a Stevie Wonder song I had never heard before. Radio Stations, how about a little variety!!!
