Tuesday Tunes: Holiday Preview

Next to college football season, my favorite time of year is the holiday season between Thanksgiving and New Year's. Those precious few weeks are filled with food, family, and fun. They are also filled with warm, catchy, feel-good music that only surfaces during this special time of year. Interestingly, most people have rules for when holiday music is "allowed." Personally, I think the day after Thanksgiving is fair game for breaking out the holiday tunes, and I intend to do exactly that. Typically, I can find a radio station that dedicates all of the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas to holiday music, and for a few weeks my car becomes a joyful transport in which I sing along to my favorite classics and emerge happier than when I embarked on my drive. I'll use the next few Tuesday Tunes to examine some of the season's best music (in my opinion), but I must wait until it's "allowed." Until next week...
