Finally!
I’ve been scouring the radio dial for a couple of days now, craving some christmas carols… but nothing. I could’ve played a CD, but I was looking for that spontaneous song selection that occurs on the radio. I didn’t expect to find anything until after Thanksgiving, but I needed to hear some christmas songs… and it wasn’t happening.
I kept hitting the “seek” button over and over… but all I was finding was the occasional tease of a christmas themed commerical. Undaunted, I cycled through the dial once more.
Finally, at 5:35 PM the dial hit 101.1 (B101 – “Philly’s Official Christmas Station“), and I caught the end of “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas” by Perry Como. … could it be? Was this the music source I’d been searching for?
“Oh Holy Night” followed, and then “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus”… yes! Christmas Carols…. for the next seven weeks, I know right where to find them.
Tonight, this was the perfect find. As I drove past ACE Hardware with its christmas lights up and caught a glimpse of what looked like snowflakes blowing underneath the street lights, I smiled… and thought to myself how much I love Christmas.
It may be that in a few weeks I’m writing about how much I can’t wait for the season to be over – but I doubt it. Christmas is my favorite time of year, and while I’m not ready to decorate or buy most of my presents yet… I am happy to have the music a preset button away.
