a few more years shall roll

I realize, as I title this post, that I have been complaining that Christmas decorations/music/hype should not start immediately after Halloween. In fact, as I was eating lunch yesterday with my friend Kim at Pizza Rustica where they actually had Magic Hat #9 on tap, we were surrounded by Christmas songs. Of course, just as they were getting annoying (Rockin’ around the Christmas Tree), Hark the Herald Angels Sing came on, and who am I to complain when “Mild He lays his glory by, Born that man no more may die” is piping out through the sound system?

That’s my introduction to my suggestion that you might want to pick up a box of Andrew Peterson’s Christmas CDs for gifts for your friends and loved ones. When the CD Behold the Lamb of God came out last fall, I bought 10 copies–one for me and 9 to give away. I may do the same thing this year, since a box of 10 is only $85. Since I heard Behold the Lamb live in 2001, and have travelled to Nashville the past three years to hear it live again, it’s probably not necessary to tell you how highly I recommend the CD. But, if you are looking for a “Christmas” CD that you can listen to all year (and I do), and one that provides a(n)? historical context for the birth of Christ, please check this out.

Or, if you’d like to be on my Christmas list, you could just let me know that.
