KOST 103.5: Feel Good For The Holidays

KOST's press release said pretty much the same thing as the statement on their website: KOST is now playing "holiday music." KOST began playing Christmas music in November starting in 2001 when everyone needed some "tidings of comfort and joy" after all the shock and horror and grief that resulted from the September 11 terrorist attacks. But when did the station begin calling it "holiday music" instead of "Christmas music"? Maybe they always did and I just don't remember. "Holiday music" is awfully generic---that could refer to Easter songs or Independence Day songs or Hallowe'en songs or Thanksgiving songs or Hanukkah songs. What's wrong with referring to the music as Christmas songs? It's bad enough that most of the songs played nowadays are of the secular Rudolph/Frostysleighride/jingle-bells/silver-bells variety. By the way, Barry Manilow's Happy Holidays/White Christmas was the first song played this year.
