I know there are many other stations and web sites you could use to listen to Christmas music, and I am very happy that you choose to spend some of your time listening to Christmas Music 24/7.

2011 and 2012 have been very difficult financially for me and my family. I am self-employed, and this site and one other are where I spend 90% of my working hours, but for only about half of my annual income. This year I simply haven’t had much gumption to work on the stations as the effort required is so disproportionate to the effort. I’ve also had some physical ailments that zapped some of my energy. I’m fine, but have had to adjust my lifestyle a bit. I think I am much healthier now than I was a year ago.

This season I have only added about 15 new albums to the various stations, and I have another six new CDs sitting here next to the computer. I’ll work on getting those evaluated and prepped for broadcast this coming weekend. I apologize for not maintaining the station and web site the way I have in past years. I will try to do better in 2013.

I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving break with your family and friends. Mike
