Dear Dish on Christmas Music

Dear Dish:

I've been known to enjoy listening to various Dish-produced Christmas compilation albums. The combination of the '80s rock and the Christmas spirit is just sublime. Who knew Christmas could be so beautiful? To quote Mr. Simpson, "Everyone knows rock attained perfection in 1974. It's a scientific fact." While this somewhat contradicts my earlier statements chronology-wise, I feel it exemplifies the spirit of this letter.

Is it moral to listen to Christmas songs when not in the Christmas season? What if apartment neighbours start hitting the walls with brooms whilst the music is playing? Are they just rockin' along with the groooves?

Sincerely,
An Apartment Music Listener


P.S. - Can we expect another Christmas album this year entitled "Dishing During Christmas...Now with free advice booklet!"?

Dear Listener:

Funny you should ask. Dish is actually currently in the process of compiling this year’s Christmas album. As per usual, Dish will be collaborating with iBenoit for the cover artwork. There may even be another contest in the works again this year. (Last year’s lucky winner was Sister Merry Kerry). As for the album title, Dish is afraid you are just going to have to be patient and wait for the album release in December.

Dish’s opinion when it comes to listening to Christmas songs when tis not the season is that it is all a matter of quantity. Feel free to listen to Christmas music any time of the year you want, but keep it to small doses. When you feel compelled to listen to Christmas tunage in the off-season, try limiting it to listening to one cd just once or maybe just listening to a song or two mixed with other music. It is good to be well balanced in this department. Remember, these songs are meant to be seasonal. Before you go hard core, wait until at least November. Of course, once December hits, Dish expects that her faithful readers will listen only to her Christmas albums all month long.

Happy Holidays.
Dish
