Totally agree with all the comments and i think nothing left to say anything new you rock folk. Term papers

Honestly... Roy Zimmerman twice in the same hour and the same song even. There is so much more good holiday folk music to hear. I look forward to expansion of the holiday stream and less repetition.

I have an immense holiday CD collection but I can't match this stream. This is like folk holiday heaven. Incredible stuff here. Thanks so much for doing this and Happy Holidays.

Thanks for the eclectic collection of holiday music...including Roy Zimmerman's "I won't be home for Christmas".

What a great idea! I love the music. Most of it I have not heard before as I was listening to commercial stations. Merry Christmas to everyone !

I love this stream--it's a finals week/grading Hades ritual each year--keeps me sane and smiling. One note, though--Neil Hogan (a forgotten and out of print guitarist, according to Jim) is still around, and his Christmas album is available on CD/mp3 download. http://www.joplinandsweeney.com/neil.html Happy musical holidays, everyone...(looking for a new guitar under the tree!)

Wow! Another perk for us Folk Alley members. They just keep coming. Thanks a lot. And Happy Holidays. Yes, Happy Holidays!

Love the idea of a Holiday Stream! Go & check out my own Xmas song "It's This Time Of Year" right here on Folk Alley's Open Mic: http://www.folkalley.com/openmic/song.php?id=13472 HoHoHo! ;-) Niels

absolutely fantastic. I love holiday music. Just wish the playlist was posted somewhere. It's hard to run back to my computer and jot down the album names for all those great tracks. Can you post the whole list?

Posted by Tim on December 16, 2009.
Not all your holiday songs are named in the holiday song playlist - some get skipped. Frustrating when trying to identify ones I really like!

Posted by Julie on December 14, 2009.
Love the Sufjan, and thanks for including "I won't be home for Christmas" to remind us of our soldiers "over there". God save & protect them.

I'd like to hear an instrumental stream on quiet Sunday mornings. I especially enjoy guitar. Thanks.

Posted by Janette on December 13, 2009.
what would i do without folkalley? nothing. i couldn't function without it. thank you folkalley for all you do to preserve my sanity. i love the mix of holiday music, especially since we will never hear it anywhere else. best money i ever spent was my donation to folkalley. thank you. thank you. thank you.

Posted by gene morizzo on December 11, 2009.
Hey I love the stream! But you guys need to play some sufjan stevens like last year! Thanks!

Posted by John Lewis on December 10, 2009.
12 7 09 Easily the BEST holiday mix we have ever heard; we await, though, "Shotgun Shell Christmas." down here in Deep South Texas, no snow, but the mix more than makes up for its lack ....

Posted by Gene Novo-Ruth Wagner on December 07, 2009.
I am so thankful for all of your holiday streams, but especially this one. It is always a welcome companion when decorating or preparing meals, or just good ole' fashion family time in front of the fire. Definitely an essential part to our family's holiday tradition. The quality of the music is incomparable. Thank you so much and a very Happy Holidays to everyone at our favorite station!

Posted by KD on December 06, 2009.
this has been the best sight i have found with such a diversity of "holiday music".

Posted by DJay on December 04, 2009.
What is the beautiful piano instrumental being played right now?

Posted by Ruth Elliott on December 03, 2009.
My playlist doesn't update, but other than that, I love this!!

Posted by Ruth Elliott on December 03, 2009.
Yay! This is my favorite part of the holidays!
