We have a jovial tug-of-war in our house about Christmas music. While I enjoy Christmas music, I also like keeping things in their own seasons. My lovely wife has been enjoying Christmas music from the moment a Christmas music channel showed up on Sirius XM radio. And now WNIC (100.3 in Detroit) is playing 24-hour Christmas music too. I, on the other hand, am the family curmudgeon, refraining from Christmas music until Thanksgiving. Once our Thanksgiving service has been completed (which is at 7:00 PM on Wednesday, November 27 -- join us!), I am all in on the Christmas music.
I will also highlight that Advent music is not to be overlooked. That can be enjoyed at Lutheran Public Rado once the Advent season begins. Please be aware, however, that the library of Advent music is not that plentiful, so they will supplement it with other hymns and choral pieces. Maybe it is best to enjoy Advent hymns live. You can do that at Good Shepherd Evangelical Lutheran Church in Novi on Sundays at 10:00 AM and on Wednesdays at 7:00 PM in the month of December. Join us for that, too!
Anyway, there are not too many Thanksgiving Carols, either. Well, I have found one. It is "The Turkey of 29 Pounds" by The Sportsmen Quartet. This recording is from 1947, and it is a shame that it is almost unknown. Enjoy!
