A friend just introduced me to Accu Holidays which is a free, online, holiday music station. I like it because there are about 40 different "stations" to choose from. I certainly haven't tried them all but we have been enjoying the "Holiday Classical" station which has a good share of religious holiday music and hymns and is overall very inoffensive. My daughter asked me to play the "Kids at Christmas" station which I thought would be cute for a bit and the second song was a young Michael Jackson doing "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" which definitely disturbed me as a child when I still thought Santa Claus was some other guy. So, consider yourself warned ;)

it's a great site.. but if I remember right, the closer you get to Christmas the harder it is to get a connection. If they still offer the free trial membership, get that for that week before Christmas

Thanks for the tip! I wonder if they still play through the Twelve Days? I'm always so disappointed when the radio stations give up on the 26th. We have such a small holiday CD collection and we mostly want the music after Christmas--not before!

Another option is "Pandora" where you can make your own radio station: Pandora
You could try to plug in some of your favorite Advent Hymns before Christmas.

How lovely! I can use my laptop to listen, which is so nice because I can turn off the volume as needed throughout the school day.

Thank you!

Mary Alice--I do use Pandora the rest of the year but I can't figure out how to add a whole pre-mixed station. I'm sure it's easy--tips?
