I drive home tonight after singing and reading in the Christmas Eve service and it’s the one time when I want to hear some other services or some carols and on the dial here in New York, I find nothing, not so much as a sleigh bell. Oh, well. Merry Christmas from my heathen homeland.
Doesn’t New York have at least a couple of radio stations, like WLTW, playing holdiay music? Certainly, Sirius must have (I own XM and it’s got five, so the competition’s got to have somewhere in that same range).
Merry Christmas from Albuquerque, New Mexico! Lots of Christmas music here, and luminarias.
When I lived upstate a few years ago, we managed to find old good christmas carols by surfing around the AM dial. Sirius has a couple stations as well.
Merry Christmas from Disasterland!
Even out here in liberal Seattle, we have scads of Christmas music on the radio…go figure.
Anyway, Jeff…Merry Christmas and thanks for a great year.
You much not be aware of WHUD, 100.7 in NYC. It plays non-stop Christmas music for 36 hours staring noon of Christmas Eve day.
It was secular yesterday but last night started to play religious carols.
Merry Christmas to you, Jeff, music or no.
“There it is, the secular left’s ace-up-the-sleeve: the diversity card.
But the nation is far more homogenous than diversity-mavens would have us believe. America is 85% Christian. (96% of us celebrate Christmas.)
They don’t say “Have a Happy Holiday†in Israel at Hanukah, though a third of the nation isn’t Jewish.
They don’t say “Season’s Greetings†in Egypt, when Ramadan rolls around.
Why must America be the only nation on earth that refuses to acknowledge its religious roots? Why must we be the only nation to studiously ignore the majority’s faith?”

but it gets worse.
A Saudi Arabian Prince of one of the most intolerant countries in the world makes a 40 million grant to Harvard and Georgetown Univ. - one of the richest men in the world, doling out megabucks to two influential American study centers in order to engender a teaching of tolerance in the USA! (One may ask: What happens to those of other faiths in his own country?)
After 9/11 Rudy Guliani sent back the big check.
Probably these two Universities will do no such thing - so that they can endoctrinate our children with tolerance for the ideology that has only one aim…to take us over. Full article at:

Actually Ravo,
“Eid Mubarak” (= “Happy Holiday”) is a perfectly acceptable greeting at Ramadan or any other Eid, just as “Chag Sameach” (= “Joyous Festival”) can be used for any holiday or festival in Israel.
The difference is that in those countries people like you don’t turn such generic greetings into an imaginary war on religion!
Happy holidays, btw…
