You'll hear many new arrangements of the classics, by artists you don't know yet. It sure beats the stale, old Mariah Carey, Madonna, John Melloncamp, Bruce Springsteen crap that you are used to. Seriously. Give it a try. You don't have to be super-religious. You just have to love Christmas music.</p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(8829559, 'techstar25')\">Reply</a></div>		<!-- if it's a top level category ' -->		    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>        <!-- Display comment (top level parent) -->    </div>","<div class=\"comments-content\">        <div class=\"comment\" id=\"comment-8829643\">    <div class=\"inner\">	 <div class=\"user-pic\">        <a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;amp;blog_id=1&amp;amp;id=315378\"><img        src=\"/css/images/default.gif\"        width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"user-pic\" /></a>    </div>        <div class=\"comment-header\">            <div class=\"asset-meta\"> <div class=\"vcard author\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;blog_id=1&amp;id=315378\">ModernTenshi04</a>        </div>				<div class=\"comment-date\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/2008/11/christmas-creep-radio-stations-are-in-full-holiday-mode.html#comment-8829643\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2008-11-10T18:02:35-05:00\">November 10, 2008  6:02 PM</abbr></a></div>				<div class=\"comment-moderate\"><span><a href=\"javascript:moderateComment(8829643);\">Moderate</a> |</span><a href='javascript:void(0)' onClick=\"return moderate(this, 'http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Moderate/moderate.cgi?__mode=flag&comment_id=8829643');\">Flag for review</a></div>            </div>        </div><!-- end comment header -->        <div class=\"comment-content\">            <p>At least my local oldies station waits until the day after Thanksgiving, usually.
