I love pretty much, all music. Well, –except for a few genres I care not to reveal. My preferences lie in traditional country, classic rock and roll, easy listening and jazz. I am pretty proud of my music library at home. It is one of my prize possessions. I spend a great deal of time at this hobby and part time job.
When November rolls around, I gather up all my Christmas music to get prepared for the holiday season. I add Christmas music to my ipod, so I can take it on the road with me and listen to it in my car and at work. I love to put it in the shuffle mode. That way I don’t know what to expect. It’s the best of both worlds–no disc jockey, no commercials.
I love Christmas music, although some of it makes me sad when it should make me happy. The sad part is when I think of my family and loved ones who aren’t with me any longer. I think of my happy childhood this time of the season.
The other day, I was looking through my Christmas music collection and pulled out the most beautiful song I have ever heard. The song was entitled, Let’s Put Christ Back Into Christmas (This Year), sung by the late, great, First Lady of Country Music–my all time favorite female country music singer–Tammy Wynette. Man, what a voice.
Let me share with you this very special Christmas song. The lyrics are as follows:
Let’s Put Christ Back Into Christmas (This Year)
Unto you is born this day a Savior
A baby boy was found there in a manger
The blessed truth of Christmas let us hear
Let’s put Christ back into Christmas this year
Christmas is the Birthday of our King
The greatest gift of all He came to bring
He’s the Prince of Peace
Let’s show Him that we care
Let’s put Christ back into Christmas this year
On this day three wise men saw a star
They followed it with gifts and traveled far
And praised the baby Jesus lying there
So let’s put Christ back into Christmas this year
Let within your heart His praises ring
And celebrate the day our Savior came
May peace on earth at Christmas time appear
Let’s put Christ back into Christmas this year
Let’s put Christ back into Christmas this year
THE END
Let’s Put Christ Back Into Christmas (This Year) is available on Tammy Wynette’s CD, Christmas With Tammy. It is also, available on cassette and LP.
Year after year, a lot of us allow ourselves to get stressed out from all the busy shopping and the parties we are expected to attend. Sadly enough, we also feel loneliness, despair and depression. If we all take a deep breath and try to relax, things could be better.
It’s best not to try to lead yourself into thinking you need to satisfy everybody. You’re not expected to. If we don’t meet our goals–so what. The important part is to get the real spirit of Christmas.
Some will attend church services during the Christmas season. There they will find positive people surrounding them with positive attitudes. Some will indulge themselves in drunken parties. Others will condemn them and feel their true spirit of Christmas are distracted, and they will only make them feel lost and alone–unattached from their feelings.
Some will go for the real Christmas spirit. They will do something nice for someone. They will visit a nursing home or a hospital to greet a resident or patient. They will volunteer their services at a local mission, food bank or the Salvation Army. They will bring gifts and their love to everybody.
This Christmas season could be a very, happy one. Let’s put Christ back into Christmas this year.

When do you want to start hearing Christmas music on the radio?
I woke up this morning to my radio station playing straight Christmas music. While I am not a Scrooge by any means, I think it is a bit soon for endless holiday music. What do you say? When do you think radio stations and stores should start playing holiday music?
Chrismas music should not be played in November for sure. I must preface that I am not the Grinch or Mr. Scrooge. Quite the contrary actually, because I love Christmas. But why, oh why is Christmas music already on the radio and playing in department stores, not to mention the ridiculous amount of Christmas commercials already airing on television? Come on. It is just now mid-November and Christmas music has been playing for weeks.
Christmas has become the holiday bully. Thanksgiving has always been overshadowed by Christmas, and New Year’s Eve is just a party with left over Christmas Decorations and booze. Now, Christmas is even beginning to stomp on Halloween. When I was shopping for a Halloween costume for my boyfriend at Target, I was shocked to see Christmas trees on display. Really? Christmas trees in October?
Thanksgiving is too good a holiday to give up. Thanksgiving food is probably my favorite thing about it, but more importantly, Thanksgiving should be a time to recognize everything we should be thankful for. Yeah, the economy might be down the toilet, but we still have plenty of thanks to give — for example cheap gas prices and the Alabama’s football team dominating. I guess we could go as far to say Thanksgiving is kind of like what Christmas is supposed to be like without presents, but that still doesn’t mean that Christmas should take over Thanksgiving.
I think the day after Thanksgiving is a reasonable beginning for Christmas decorations, music, presents, cookies, etc. I mean, if we are really going to listen to Christmas songs, then what happened to the 12 days of Christmas? Seriously, why do we need two whole months to prepare for Christmas?
I could ramble on and on about how our society has turned Christmas into a commercial holiday, but you have all heard that too many times before. But really, if anyone needs two months to buy all the presents for friends and family, they have truly taken the holiday out of context.
I know there are many students on our campus who do not celebrate Christmas and I’m sure by now they have stopped reading this because it does not really apply to them. But if you are still reading, I think everyone can learn something from the Christmas spirit, even if you do not believe in the Christian aspects of Christmas.
Christmas is about family, friends and giving. No, I do not mean excessive giving. Instead of spending millions on frivolous gifts, maybe we can share the wealth. Don’t get me wrong, I love getting presents on Christmas, but I would probably have an incredible Christmas if I only got about half of them. I think the right thing for us to do would be to ask our parents for half of the presents and ask them to donate some of the money to charities or less fortunate people.
Christmas should be about spending time with family and friends, giving and sharing the experience with them, not how many fancy presents you get. So I’m going to challenge you all. Let’s see how little you can spend on Christmas gifts for your friends and family this year. But that’s not all — let’s see how thoughtful, rather than commercial, your gifts can be. So once you’ve finished eating all your leftovers, whip out some of your favorite memories and pictures, tape, glue, paper, etc., and make some thoughtful gifts for your friends and family. It’ll be fun.
Another great place to shop for Christmas Music products is Amazon. They have more than just books!
