I’ve got to admit that I don’t really mind working on Christmas Day. It can be a little inconvenient and it does take me away from my family for a few hours on this very special day but it’s not too bad.
No matter what day the 25th of December falls each year, all the regular weekday announcers at 98.5 Sonshine FM make their way to the studios to spread some Christmas cheer.
I’m sitting at the broadcast desk right now. I’ve got Christmas music playing and I’ve been talking about Christmas stuff all morning. Each year for Christmas Day we play Christmas music for the entire 24 hours. In fact, we started playing only Christmas music at 6 o’clock last night and we’ll keep it going until midnight tonight. 30 hours of carols and more contemporary Christmas songs.
Just a moment ago I had a listener phone me to say thanks for giving up part of my Christmas Day to help make it a special one for her and her family. That certainly makes me smile. I doubt that it’ll be the only call I get this morning.
I’ll still have plenty of time to spend with family but it’s wonderful to be able to join the celebrations of thousands of other families on such a special day.

Do you think some of your friends would enjoy reading Christmas on the radio? Please use the buttons below to share the post. Thanks.
It’s nice to hear that others have to work on Christmas too. My Hubby just left for a small shift 10pm-2:30am. He normally doesn’t work on Sat. night, but tonight he’s covering for his employees so they can be home with their families. That’s the thing about radio stations (in your case) and newspapers (in his case), they work holidays too.
Merry Christmas!
Happy Christmas Rodney.
We ahve also been enjoying SONSHINE.FM this morning.

Merry Christmas to you and yours Rodney! We’re enjoying warmer temps this Christmas here in Tennessee so we are trying to relate to the warm Christmases you always enjoy! Have a wonderful day and happy new year too!
even though you give up some family time, it DOES sound like a super way to spend Christmas Day!
