Merry Christmas all! By the time you all read this the food prep will be just about done at my place as we prepare for a great Christmas Eve Dinner. I will be celebrating a few days off from the day job while drinking a few cold ones, and probably hitting the ice for some hockey. I am planning to set up my father-in-laws garage for a great two days of watching two global hockey tournaments (GO CANADA!) and in between we will have Sirius cranked on some of our favourite stations.

I am sure some of you will have your radios on in your kitchen and dining rooms with al the great holiday programming still going on. NFL fans will catch up on their latest news through all the sports programming and those of us into hockey looking for a different perspective will turn to Hockey Night in Canada radio and Hardcore Sports. 

At some point during holidays I will make my way out to my wife’s parents camp. They have a great outdoor speaker setup and I love to crank The Boneyard and Liquid Metal at full blast so it rings through the forest!

This is one of my favourite times of year, and I am happy to have my trusty receiver at my side again. Good times, good food, and good radio!

I want to wish every reader a Merry Christmas and a joyous New Year. As SiriusXM enters what will be an interesting year of contract negotiations for on air talent and continue to grow their revenue base, it will be an interesting year and I firmly believe this medium will grow in popularity even more.

On that note, I will remind subscribers that if you refer a friend to Sirius Canada through their website and they purchase a subscription and unit through the site, you are eligible to receive a 25 dollar gift certificate from Esso! Part of a tank of gas ain’t that bad! It will get you somewhere!

Cheers….
