Christmas Songs...........

We have a station here in Phoenix, KEZ 99.9 that is most folks home during the Christmas holiday season for listening to Christmas music. I know the day after Thanksgiving I tune my car radio to 99.9 for that reason and as with many it gets me in the holiday mood and spirit and I'm reminded each time I/we get into the car.

Now I don't know and I Googled Christmas song among other things to try and find some kind of an answer to the question: How many Christmas songs are there? I seen answers anywhere from 20,000,000 to something in the 100's and really don't know for sure but would bet it's at least in the 100's and multiple 100's at that. So why then does a station like KEZ 99.9 or any other station that plays Christmas songs during this time of the year insist on playing the same 12 songs over and over and over again and again once more?

There are for sure more that 12 Christmas songs so why must I hear Burl Ives, John Lennon, and someone got run over by a reindeer after Little drummer boy and Feliz Navidad each and every hour of the day? I know Nat King Cole, Perry Como, Bing Crosby and 50% of all country singers out there sing Christmas songs and have Christmas albums, hell Elvis has Christmas albums 50% of the Rock world too so why can't we get more of a variety? I would hate to think this too has something to do with "Christ" in Christmas and a station being politically correct, if your a atheist tune to a different station for a couple of weeks and if your a station owner...GET SOME BALLS if that's the case!

OK, all you tree hungers, progressives, socialist and politically correct folks out there that want Christ out of your Christmas I hear you...I need to put in a CD if I don't like the same 12 songs over and over again! Wait, that is a CD, the same handful of songs over and over so I need to buy more CD's if I'm doing more that just running up to the store!

The point is KEZ and other stations like that tell us that during the holidays their going to play nothing up Christmas songs and then they play the same handful over and over and not just each day but each 1/2 hour we get a repeat of the last 1/2 hour and that gets old. I'm sure some of you know exactly what I'm talking about and yes, I already wrote my e-mail to KEZ and made mention of it on their website................hey you know me!

Has anyone heard the marking dogs lately? arf arf arf, arf arf arf.............................
