Well, it the time for the holidays. I know, I know, the holidays really started probably mid-October but, for me, the holidays don’t really start until December. Actually, I take that back. The holidays don’t start until I hear Paul McCartney & Wings’ Wonderful Christmas Time. Say what you will about Sir Macca but the man can compose a jolly tune.

 Here at CET, it’s not the holidays until we unleash our holiday programming. I invite you to check out what we’re offering this season for your wintery nights. We have favorites like Arthur’s Perfect Christmas and Christmas at Belmont, plus new favorites like The Holiday Train Show with David Hartman and Holiday Homecoming with Angela Brown.

Let’s not forget New Year’s. Celebrate the Eve with Joshua Bell in Live From Lincoln Center - New York Philharmonic New Year’s Eve. Then it’s a Great Performances tribute to Ella Fitzgerald in We Love Ella - A Tribute to the First Lady of Song. And New Year’s Day wouldn’t be complete without a trip to Vienna with Walter Cronkite hosts Great Performances - From Vienna: The New Year’s Celebration 2008.

So this holiday season, cozy up with a nice cup of hot chocolate or hot cider and enjoy CET’s holiday programming.

PS If you’re looking for something a bit out of the ordinary for this holiday season, don’t forget to tune in December 22nd at 6pm to see A Holly Jolly Pops Holiday with Barenaked Ladies. Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops Orchestra welcome those quirkmeisters from the North, BNL, for an irreverant, upbeat twist to some seasonal tunes.
