A friend gave me a CD of the 'Pathetique' Symphony as a Christmas present. I went home, and I put on the CD expecting to listen to Tchaikovsky. But it started 'ta ta ta taaa.' It was too long for me. I didn't understand it at first, but then I fell in love, in love, in love. Gustavo Dudamel christmasexpectfall share on social

Values there have gone down but I guarantee they will be up again in eight years. So I'll get in now while it's cheap as chips. Melanie Brown badcheapchip share on social

I think that there are a lot of really beautiful Christmas carols, and then sometimes there are horrible renditions of them that are played to death in malls that make me sad. I try to avoid stores where they're playing bad versions of Christmas songs on repeat. Gillian Jacobs avoidbadbeautiful share on social

Our last jam session was this past Christmas. Dad played his harmonica, mom sang in English and Italian, and I played guitar. I'm so happy that we could share that musical experience for one last time. Tony Visconti christmasdadenglish share on social
