A good way to listen to holiday music is on one's phone, Pandora, Blue Tooth, stereo, radio, or computer. Another way is through the television. At my daughter's house on Christmas, the television is playing some interesting music -- from old-school to pop to rap. Along with the music there are charming winter scenes with enhanced lighting to make the pictures more festive as they roll across the TV screen.
Case in point: It's a lovely scene along a residential street. At first glance, the entire area is festive with lights and warmth. Upon closer look, though, it is clear that the entire neighborhood is on fire. FIRE!!!!!! It is a Christmas conflagration! Someone's overly-dry tree must've sparked up. No presents for you! Now the whole block is aflame. Good job, folks, good job.
Then there is a scene straight out of a 1970's Irwin Allen disaster movie. "My gawd! The building is on FIRE! Run for the exits! Fireball! Hurry, hurry, hurry!" It's a disaster movie just waiting to be filmed. Some idiot probably called Bruce Willis and said, "Die Hard is NOT a Christmas movie!" Then John McClane set fire to the high-rise, and now ... Christmas conflagration!
Merry Christmas, or, rather, Happy Boxing Day. Also, happy St. Stephen's Day.
And remember, only YOU can prevent Christmas television scene fires.
