scarfman(I said I'd label grief posts from now on but this one's about not knowing whether something's grief or status quo.)
So after listening to the top hits station again for a week*, I returned to the eighties-till-now station this morning because top hits wouldn't come in on the desk radio. The eighties-till-now station, mind you, is the one I initially discovered because it's the, or a, station in town that plays Christmas songs all month from Thanksgiving. Except, I discovered this morning, they implement Christmas carols not Thanksgiving day but Thanksgiving week. I've been guessing, this being the second holiday season after she went, that this is when I'm going to find out what holiday seasons are going to be like from here on out. I won't know for sure till the third time, really, but I wasn't expecting to start gathering data till Thursday.
* And being taken aback at how much the playlist has changed while I was away for a few months. Classic rock stations don't do that.

--P.S--
Do you have a favorite that comes up in rotation, in the Holiday playlist?
