\"Charlie-Brown-Christmas\"<\/a>I know, Christmas is so<\/em> yesterday.\u00a0 Literally.\u00a0 But I don’t care, I’m going to continue the Christmas spirit for a while. One of the things I do is to pump Christmas music out on\u00a0 102.5 FM using an extremely low-power FCC-legal transmitter, allowing me to turn on a radio anywhere on my property and listen to the music playing on my garage computer.\u00a0 I love Christmas music, and it’s great to be able to have it on in the background wherever I may be when I’m at home.<\/p>\n

If you’re into Christmas music, I invite you to peruse this meticulously prepared Christmas playlist.\u00a0 Clocking in at nine hours and fifty minutes in duration, it’s enough to play throughout the day with nary a repeat.\u00a0 There are some real gems here, and I have no problem admitting that I’m a little proud of the collection I’ve curated this year.\u00a0\u00a0 They appear in no particular order; in fact, I went out of my way to randomize them.<\/p>\n

Next year I will have to select a new frequency, as Dakota Media Access will be broadcasting on that frequency.\u00a0 Now worries, a flip of a few DIP switches and I’ll be happy as a clam on another vacant frequency.\u00a0 My sincere hope is that some of you take the time to check out some of these songs on iTunes and enjoy them for yourselves in future Christmases.<\/p>\n
