The Christmas season can be very hectic. People are running around buying this and that, baking holiday goodies, digging their cars out from under the snow.
Sometimes I get a bit wound up with all the hustle and bustle. That’s when I turn on the Christmas music and relax.
Listen to Kevin and I chat about Christmas tunes.

Kevin |
Dave: I got up this morning and was listening to National Public Radio for a while, but I thought, ‘You know, it’s Christmas time, I need to feel a little bit more festive.’ So, I turned the radio dial to some Christmas tunes.
Kevin: Oh, I don’t know how I feel about those stations.
Dave: Really? You don’t like Christmas music?
Kevin: Well, I like Christmas music, but I don’t know that I would just tune into a station. I mean, if I want to listen to it I’ll put on a CD.
Dave: Yeah, I don’t have any CDs, though. You know, I’m kind of a cheapskate like that.
Kevin: Well, we know that. I was in a friend’s car the other day and, sure enough, that’s what she put on. Oh, she was all excited.
Dave: See, I like it, though. Christmas music really cheers me up.
Kevin: It is, I mean, it is fun, it’s festive. You know, it, it’s nice to hear, but it’s not something I would tune into all day long.

Christmas music reminds me of being young, shaking Christmas presents beneath the tree. One of my favorite songs as a child was the children’s version of “Jingle Bells.” It’s still very popular among children.

Jingle bells, Batman smells
Robin laid an egg.
Bat-mobile
Lost its wheel
And Joker got away – Hey!
