When Christmas Comes To Town

Back when I worked on the radio, it was key to always look ahead. We'd often be writing Christmas bits in October and November for use during December. Being away from radio now for a while, I've forgotten the importance of planning and looking ahead. If I was better at that, I could have had a month's worth … Continue reading When Christmas Comes To Town →

It’s That Time of the Year …

Followers of this blog know that my wife can listen to Christmas music all year round. She will put her Pandora stations on shuffle when she is in the shower and Christmas music will play often. Well, this week Sirius XM launched quite a few Christmas music channels. I thought I would jot them all … Continue reading It’s That Time of the Year … →

Christmas Memories – Frank Sinatra

On my way home yesterday I happened to catch this holiday song by Frank Sinatra. I've probably heard it 50 times over the last 5 years. I have the Sinatra Christmas album it is on, but never really seemed to play this song as a "favorite." Yesterday, however, the lyrics hit me like I was … Continue reading Christmas Memories – Frank Sinatra →

I Made It 15 Days! A New Record!

I'm out! I got "Whammed" on Tuesday by a co-worker. Another co-worker and I were just talking about this on December 1st. Do you play Whamageddon? Do you even know what it is? If not, I'll tell you. It's probably one of the stupidest and silliest games of the holiday season. The objective? Avoid hearing … Continue reading I Made It 15 Days! A New Record! →

I'm not sure that I could participate in it every day because there are topics I don't think I … Continue reading Blogmas Challenge… →

Inspired by Blogmas

A few blogs that I follow, started to talk about "Blogmas" a week or so ago. From what I can tell it is a list of 25-31 Blog post ideas. Sort of a daily writing prompt that are all Christmas related. I did a search for "Blogmas" and read through a few of them. The … Continue reading Inspired by Blogmas →

Gearing Up For The Holidays

I feel like I haven't really blogged about "life" lately. I kinda feel like I haven't really even had a minute to sit down and write. Between wacky schedules at work and an even wackier sleep schedule, writing has been a challenge. So here are some highlights from the past couple weeks.... Right after Halloween, … Continue reading Gearing Up For The Holidays →
