Are you perhaps spending alot of time right now cleaning, cooking, or baking? If you're preparing for a holiday, there may be more housework than normal at your home. Or maybe you're making plans to drive, fly, or travel by bus or train to visit loved ones soon. If this sounds like you, we've got some suggestions to get you in the spirit and keep you occupied.
First, we have a great selection of holiday music CDs. If you've been listening to the same 2 CDs over and over again, every December for the last few years, a little variety might bring spice to your cider. Choose from classic favorites (now I sound like a commercial!) like Handel's Messiah or the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, or something different or contemporary like Merry Christmas: The Supremes or Mediaeval Baebes' Mistletoe and Wine. A Charlie Brown Christmas sound track to the original TV special is in the collection, along with music for other holidays, such as Hanukkah Music for your Holiday Concert and Festival of Light.
Audiobooks-- Books on CD or downloadable Audiobooks-- are a great alternative if you're feeling a little bah-humbuggy or need to pass the time. An interesting nonfiction or enthralling suspense title make hours of cleaning speed past-- and I'm speaking from experience here. Try short stories or popular children's and YA titles for enforced family time while traveling.
If you need help finding a title or downloading Audiobooks from OverDrive, ask your librarian for pointers. (By the way, were those snow flurries I saw this afternoon? Stay safe and warm out there, people!)
