The biggest problem with the all Christmas stations is the mangling of traditional carols. All those singers who feel as if they must screech their own version to a tune that doesn’t resemble the original at all.
Well, there are the ‘pop’ Christmas songs, eg Rockin’ around the Christmas Tree, Rudolph, I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus, and then there are the real carols, sung with choirs, such as ’In Excelsus Deo", Adeste Fidelis", “I saw three ships”, and so forth. To much of the thin and watery former, not enough of the rich latter.
