The kids are in their 40’s, wife and I are alone in this big house. I put the tree up the weekend before Christmas and take it down Jan 2. I the tree crowds the living room. I will put on Christmas Music for my wife but I will go upstairs as I am not a fan of it.
Holiday Habits and Pleasures
Howdy All,
We put up the tree, and are currently relaxing with some holiday tunes and spirits. Just wondering how the approach and arrival of the holidays affects everyone’s listening. Of course, there will be an increase in holiday related recordings, but do listening sessions increase in frequency? Are more folks involved? Do themed events pop up like Christmas Cocktails and Canapés with Nat King Cole? I’m currently stoking my own holiday spirit with Wynton Marsalis’s “Crescent City Christmas Card” which I discovered in some older Audiogon posts regarding favorite Christmas recordings. It’s making me think I should throw a Big Easy holiday bash one of these days, and start a new tradition.
Eager to hear and steal some ideas, and new ways to appreciate appreciating.
Happy Holidays to all,
Dave

@roxy54 , not a scrooge, we still spend big on the kids, son in law and son's girlfriend. Times have changed though. We do a big Christmas breakfast but the last few years, it's just my wife and me. Last year we went to our daughters for Christmas Eve. My Son and girlfriend were there too. On Christmas, we were alone all day and I get it, they are grown up and times change. But, Christmas music, yuck. I never liked it as a kid and like it less now. |
