Hi Sand...Hi Janet,<br />I'm going to miss them too.<br /><br />Hi Sandi,<br />Hitting the shuffle button is a great way to listen to Christmas music. And it's wonderful that you are a quilter.<br /><br />DonnaDonna Volkenannthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04540727800410234483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198335440945057072.post-37440436436190880232011-12-28T23:25:54.637-06:002011-12-28T23:25:54.637-06:00I love the Christmas songs, too!

This year I made a quilt for my oldest daughter, and it went together super fast. I think it's because I had my Christmas music going non-stop the entire time I was piecing the quilt! <br /><br />It's good music!Sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15923693784234135636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198335440945057072.post-48459790229891676352011-12-26T22:08:33.424-06:002011-12-26T22:08:33.424-06:00I love listening to Christmas songs, especially El...I love listening to Christmas songs, especially Elvis.

Every store I go to, every radio channel I listen to, I hear Christmas songs. So it does get to me in a not so good way. <br /><br />I have to keep my sanity throughout the commericalism. Somehow, I do it and enjoy the holiday season to its fullest.<br /><br />Have a wonderful Christmas.<br /><br />TeresaT.

When I walked in, Transiberian Orchestra was playing, and I thought, 'Great music. This will really energize me.'<br /><br />However, six hours later, after hearing that song many, many times while subjected to the light show that happened each time that same song played, I was having epliptic seizures and had assaulted several people.<br /><br />It's a great thing--the music--as you cruise the aisles for an hour or so. But having to listen to loops of music without a break--not fun!Sioux Roslawskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924021828536277618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198335440945057072.post-14021005895695426282011-12-22T21:40:34.635-06:002011-12-22T21:40:34.635-06:00Hey Lynn,
