Holiday music

'Tis the season for holiday music. NPR has a list of new entries into the royalty-rich genre, and in the "once innovative but now slightly long-in-the-tooth" category, Mannheim Steamroller has repackaged several of their old CDs into a 4-pack.

We probably have six or seven collections of Christmas music, from a 2-CD Time-Life compilation to Diana Krall.

What do you put on as background music on Christmas morning?

Marilyn Manson and Slipknot? ;-)

Usually my mom has her old "John Denver and the Muppets" CD on. She loved it when her kids were still kids, and I think it has sentimental value for her.

For myself, I've kind of gotten into the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
