How did I miss this last year?!?!

My favorite site for all-around streaming Christmas radio is Accuholidays. They've got a crazy list of stations, including "Blue and White Christmas" which only plays versions of "Blue Christmas" and "White Christmas". Then there's "Channel O" which plays 'O Holy Night,' 'O Come All Ye Faithful,' 'O Tannenbaum,' and so forth.

I can't listen to these stations for that long, but they can be fun, especially for Christmas music freaks like me!

Don't forget to provide a little financial support, if you like listening to the station.

Of course, it makes me have to choose between soma and the 586 xmas songs on the home server. (If only those 11 CDs I ordered would arrive.)

I love SomaFM so much, especially Indie Pop Rocks. I'm lucky enough to live in a town with two really good indie-friendly stations, but Soma blows them both away.

Hooray for increasingly early xmases!

It's a little early for Christmas on my side of the pond... Saint Nicholas hasn't even set foot on shore yet here in NL, but I just now had both channels on for a bit and for a laugh.

Thanks Rusty Hodge and crew! Hope you'll keep on playing great songs... Soma.fm is awesome!

My current Christmas count is 7579 on the server, and various others on their way from vinyl to MP3.

Sweet! You win! And the next time my wife complains that I'm buying too much xmas music, I'll mention you.

I'm so glad this is back already, given that the Xma$ season was kicked off this year before the skeletons celebrating Dia De Las Muertos had even died.

SomaFM's stream is to me these days what Rankin-Bass stop-motion animations were to me when I was a sprog.

Looooove SomaFM's Ill. Street Lounge - Probably a better holiday choice than the holiday station... for the hip daddy-o's, anyway ;)
