    i was a christmas musician for a few years. 50-60 gigs from the saturday after thanksgiving til the weekend before christmas each year, occasionally a private christmas eve party if my family got to come too.

    we were good and polished: we started practice for the season in june. i think it took a decade of that until i can do like, one or two christmas albums the entire season without losing my mind.

    wife’s a good sport about it tho. the main trees are up and we’ve got a bunch of tabletops to still spread around, and we have a good-natured annual argument about whether the true queen of christmas is mariah carey or andy williams.

    i am pretty much always in the mood for the harry simeone chorale though. their do you hear what i hear is a banger
