I started collecting Christmas music back in my teens. My mother was always the Grinch when it came to Christmas. No tree, no music, no decorations because to her she measured Christmas by the amount of gifts you get and we was always broke. She just sat in her chair making all of us miserable. So it was up to me to every year from my teen years to be the one to defy mom and bring Christmas to our home. I started with those $5 compilations CDs and thrift store finds for decorations. You remember those? I got my own income I slowly bought all the ones I could find on sale and then I got married and started buying them in droves and finding them at dollar stores or garage sales.
Mom is still mom but I married someone who loves Christmas just as much as I do and understands why it's so important to me. He loves Christmas music just as much too.
Gifts are not really important to us we rather give to others and just enjoy the ambiance of the season. Hubby calls my Christmas decorating theme, Clutter Christmas.
This year we decorated to the 4 Christmas Albums by Glee on Prime Music. They are on my to buy list.
