No, you're not crazy. I've done it myself many times, though I don't do it very much any more. We actually used to listen to Christmas music on the way to our annual beach trip.

Although many people hate holiday music, I happen to like it. It reminds me of family gatherings and well-needed winter rests and snow (which I happen to like) and those are, of course, good memories.

"oh the weather outside is frightful..."

at least that part is correct!

NO! Your not crazy, I too, have done this, besides, Santa (BTW.......I've commited to another guest apperance already as the Man in Red this coming year) LOVES Christmas music! Yes, I've played Santa quite a few times over the years, with my snow white hair and beard, there's no need for the wig AND............I don't need a pillow *sigh*

I love listening to Christmas music - I've been to known to pop in George Strait's Christmas Album while driving and singalong to it. Like everyone said its relaxing - peaceful.

Hey Santa - oops Dennis - maybe you can make an appearance here on Storm2k - post your picture as our own resident Santa!!!!!

Christmas music is fine any time! I have an electronic keyboard that can play quite a few Christmas songs and I just listened to a few of them last week.

I do it too. I have a country Christmas album that I listen to if I am in an especially bad mood. Plus, I often find myself singing Christmas songs if I am in the car and driving a long ways after I run out of country songs to sing.

You're not crazy... I've wanted to do that before... it does make you feel cooler and more relaxed. I love Christmas, and can't wait until this season comes! Should I start decorating? Nah, I'll wait...

I will occasionally listen to Christmas music when it's not that time of year. Unfortunately, I'm usually so busy around Christmas that I think I enjoy it more AFTER Christmas.

Hey ticka...I have that George Strait cd too....he's nice any time of year.

I usually wait till the tree is up, then I drive the family nuts with Alan Jackson's Honky Tonk X-Mas.

The song "I only want you for X-mas", has special meaning for me and my wife as we were "supposed" to be married on X-Mas Eve of 1998, but "somebody" didn't sign some papers on purpose. You know...there's a little law about being divorced before you can get married!

The song "Christmas in Dixie" by Alabama gives me goosebumps when I hear it...even on a 100° July afternoon

I can listen to Manheim Steamroller anytime of the year

Haven't you heard the phrase "Christmas in July?"

No, you are not "crazy"...many a time and oft, will you find me listening/singing "O, Sanctissima", "Te Deum", "Adeste Fideles", "Non nobis, Domine", "Gloria in excelsis Deo", or any of a hundred sundry seasonal ditties.

More often than not, I find old Celtic songs to be more soothing to the ravages of circumstance...patricularly those associated with Samhain (pronounced "sow-WEEN", the Irish equivalent of our Hallowe'en).

I don't think you're crazy either. I listen to Christmas music occasionally. It brings about such warm happy feelings. It's a great pick-me-up when I'm feeling down. I can't wait for Christmas. I was just thinking to myself, "when should i start shopping?". LOL

Az- that is such a great thing, signing up to be Santa. You post had me laughing! You're too funny.

My neighbors light up their Christmas lights around this time...

LOL! Do they wear their winter clothes, too?
