Posted by: CelticRadio 25-Nov-2008, 08:01 PM |
We are getting closer to the start of the holiday season and we wanted to give you a little preview of whats coming up in December and what is going on now in the way of Christmas music. Currently we are playing a mix of Winter Solstice and traditional Christmas music on our Northern Woods and Celtic Moon broadcasts. This music will play all of the way through to New Years. Our yearly traditional "A Celtic Christmas" website theme and 24/7 Christmas music on Highlander Radio will begin on December 1st. Starting December 13th we will be celebrating the 12 Days of Christmas. A CD will be given away every day until December 24th! The first 5 CDs will be Steve and Ruth's brand new holiday CD - "An Appalachian Winter". Read the full review here: http://www.celticradio.net/php/news.php?item=731 A big thank you to Steve and Ruth for donating these CDs for the contest. They really are some good folk and we would highly encourage those that can't wait to purchase their CD from their website. The contest will work in this way. We will post the CD to be given away and then at some point in the day we will ask for the first person to respond to win the CD. Watch this thread for when we being the contest on December 13th. Happy Holidays! |

Welcome to the 12 Days of Christmas! That's TWELVE more days until CHRISTMAS EVE! Today's contest is brought to you by: Twelve Drummers Drummer! For the next 5 days we have a very genereous donation of CDs to give away from Steve and Ruth Smith of the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. Their brand new Christmas CD - "An Appalachian Winter" (15 cuts) is a unique blend of traditional Holiday classics, Appalachian Christmas favorites, and new original, wintry pieces that make this CD definitely not your average Holiday CD. http://www.celticradio.net/php/news.php?item=731 How the contest works is we will announce the CD in the morning hours of each day. Sometime that day we will state that the "Contest is beginning" and we will take the 3rd poster or 1st poster or 2nd poster to win the CD. So, you have to wait until we are ready to give the CD away and if you are the numbered poster you win that CD. In addition to An Appalachian Winter we also have 1 copy of Oceans Apart "The Carol-Singing Sea" and 3 copies of Blackmore's Night "Winter Songs" is on the way to us for this contest. We will mail the CDs immediately upon receiving your mailing address, so if you want the CD for Christmas make sure that all winners get their mailing address to us using our contact form: http://www.celticradio.net/php/service_mod.php?type=contact Ok, will be on later today to give this CD away. * The only rules of this contest is 1 CD per member for the next 12 days! |

Happy Holidays from the Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee. Have you heard Bruce Davies' original Christmas songs? "The School Nativity Play" is lots of fun, but his best Christmas pieces aren't in his Celtic Radio catalogue. *pout* |

Here is my favorite Christmas song: When I was small I believed in Santa Claus Though I knew it was my dad And I would hang up my stocking at Christmas Open my presents and I'd be glad But the last time I played Father Christmas I stood outside a department store A gang of kids came over and mugged me And knocked my reindeer to the floor They said: Father Christmas, give us some money Don't mess around with those silly toys. We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over We want your bread so don't make us annoyed Give all the toys to the little rich boys Don't give my brother a Steve Austin outfit Don't give my sister a cuddly toy We don't want a jigsaw or monopoly money We only want the real McCoy Father Christmas, give us some money We'll beat you up if you make us annoyed Father Christmas, give us some money Don't mess around with those silly toys But give my daddy a job 'cause he needs one He's got lots of mouths to feed But if you've got one, I'll have a machine gun So I can scare all the kids down the street Father Christmas, give us some money We got no time for your silly toys We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over We want your bread so don't make us annoyed Give all the toys to the little rich boys Have yourself a merry merry Christmas Have yourself a good time But remember the kids who got nothin' While you're drinkin' down your wine Father Christmas, give us some money We got no time for your silly toys Father Christmas, please hand it over We'll beat you up, so don't make us annoyed Father Christmas, give us some money Don't mess around with those silly toys We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over We want your bread, so don't make us annoyed Give all the toys to the little rich boys |

Not quite sure what I'm doing with these things! Being a complete technotard! I'm trying to be on the thread to wina CD! Subtle eh! Lovely idea from Caltic radio - och and did I say I hope to win one! *vbg* I need one way out here in Western Australia! I get so homesick at this time of year, even after 36 years away! Season's Greetings to everyone! Kate in Brigadoon |

Could somebody explain the symbols on the left about me! I think I'd like to be seen as dominie (teacher) which I am although retired now, instead of a peasant. What are the others all about? I will not have a chance to win a CD if the times are the consideration as I am about 12 hours ahead of USA eastern time. Cheers - slainte! Kate, Lady of Lallybroch! |
Posted by: JayHenson 15-Dec-2008, 09:21 PM | ||
G'day kate!! The symbols on the left give tidbits of info. The large Celtic Cross is an Avatar or picture that you chose to represent you. You can choose one of the ones offered, you can get the heraldry design for your name, or you can upload a picture to use (thats what I did, though I have a different pendant on now...hmmm...need to upload that one later) Anyway.... The "peasant" I believe is a representation of your place in the "posting ratio", ok, that isn't exactly right but the more posts you put up, the higher your 'position' as it were. After about 400 posts you get to choose some specialty titles or guilds or whatever (I am sure one of the Super-mods is gonna smack me soundly for hashing this up). Your flag is self explanatory as is the picture of the Lass. Does that about cover it?? Hope your doing well...... Peace Jay |

At 7-8PM? In my country it will be Midnight -1AM!!!! I'll try to be here, as well (if my kids don't destroy me before, these days they're terrible ) Slŕinte iolanda |
Posted by: RebeccaAnn 16-Dec-2008, 03:12 PM |
Iolanda How old are you kids? I'm having the same problem with mine, especially the 11 year old. Next week will be worse. They are out of school for vacation. Hopefully we will have some warm days of 32 or so and I can throw them outside for a bit. A good snow would be good with less ice, than I could have them build a snow family. Maybe I can get them to work together and help clean house and put the tree up. My youngest is 9. Maybe we can get our children together. What is Christmas like where you live? I know it's summer there. RebeccaAnn |
Posted by: iolanda 16-Dec-2008, 04:38 PM | ||
Hi RebeccaAnn , I,m very glad to meet you So, I've 3 kids: 16, 14 and 8. I already had some troubles with the oldest one and now also with the second one ...This evening I really though that I don't know what to do , no more. It's a very strange generation and a very terrible age. Maybe, if you like we can better talk about our kids , in another topic or in another way. I need and I like to listen other experiences and opinions I think that your idea is GREAT(about what to do with your kids, in the holidays). I love the snow. Where I live (now) is winter as well, cold but not too much; there are some mountains around me and there is a lot of snow in these days. They're 20 km.about my home. But where we live is too wet and foggy. I think that where you live, it must be wonderful..and I can imagine the Christmas!!!! Here is nice, it much depends from the town and the kind of people. I love the idea that maybe we can get our children together, but how is possible? Perhaps did I not understand very well? Could you explain to me, please? (My English isn't very good) I'll be waiting your news Merry Christmas to you and your kids I wish very GREAT holidays for you and a lot of Peace and Love. Iolanda |
Posted by: RebeccaAnn 16-Dec-2008, 04:52 PM |
We can write regular email. Where do you live that it is midnight when it is 7 eastern time. For me 7 eastern is 6 my time. It is very cold here with lots of ice right now. RebeccaAnn |

The 12 Days of Christmas! contest continues with today's contest brought to you by: 9 Ladies Dancing!<hr> Today's CD is by Candice and Ritchie Blackmore. Their group, Blackmore's Night, currently has many albums playing on Highlander Radio. We all know Ritchie Blackmore from his days with Deep Purple and the lovely and beautiful vocalist, Candice Blackmore, makes "Winter Songs" a truly exceptional Christmas album: <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000" id="obj1" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" border="0" width="356" height="357" > <param name="movie" value="http://www.blackmoresnight.com/bmn_holidays.swf"> <param name="LOOP" value="false"> <embed src="http://www.blackmoresnight.com/bmn_holidays.swf" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" name="obj1" width="356" height="357" loop="false"></object> Our Review: "Few Christmas albums can really break new creative ground in the Celtic, Medieval or Folk genre - but leave it to Blackmore's Night to create a true inspiration for this holiday season. A beautiful composition of 12 traditional Christmas songs performed in true Blackmore fashion with electric guitars, angelic vocals and sweeping melodies. Winter Carols is a holiday CD that is to be treasured year in and out. One of our favorite tracks, Christmas Eve, is certain to put anyone in the Christmas Spirit - even ol' Ebenezer himself would certainly pour another glass of this fine musical wine and toast to humanity and life! Winter Carols is a symphony of resounding holiday sounds that will brighten your Christmas all through New Years."

Posted by: mainopsman 19-Dec-2008, 01:31 PM |
Just as in English, the two expressions are often combined to say “Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year” as follows: “Nollaig Shona agus Athbhliain faoi Mhaise Duit.” (NO-lihg HO-nuh AH-guhs AH-vlee-ihn fwee WAH-shuh wich). JIM |

Posted by: ChocolateFilk 19-Dec-2008, 06:43 PM |
I've heard of this snow stuff. I think it is that white stuff you go to visit in the mountains and then come home. It is also that fake white stuff they make and charge people to play in. Being in San Diego, we very rarely get it here, but it has happened before. Back in the mid 60s it snowed all the way to the ocean!! |

Me too but it's because we are not "full" moderators, we only moderate one forum or two not the whole of CR like the "super mod" or "moderators" that are here from the start...which board do you moderate WallaceGal? Hey Congrats again Leelee!!!!!! LOA |
Posted by: WallaceGal 19-Dec-2008, 07:58 PM |
phantomgerry.net There's one admin (she owns the board) then four moderators but we're global mods. Do you moderate another board too, LOA, or just here? |
Posted by: Lady-of-Avalon 19-Dec-2008, 08:10 PM |
Oh! I'm sorry I thought you were talking about moderating forums here on CR. Sorry I misunderstood...I'm moderating the "Historical Archives" topics in the "Medieval Gateway" forum and "Family Matters" in the "Special Interests" forum. LOA |

OH! I know what else I want! I want Celtic Radio on my Sirius Satellite Radio so I can listen in the car too What do you want for Christmas, Jim? |

“Nollaig Shona agus Athbhliain faoi Mhaise Duit.” I would like, a new CD or two for my Celtic Music Collection, or a Shillelagh to replace the one that belonged to my grandfather (he was of German/English decent, still trying to figure the connection) that was lost in moving. Most most of all, I would love to see our economy recovering and everyone back to work. That is something we can all pray and wish for. JIM |
Posted by: WallaceGal 20-Dec-2008, 09:56 AM |
Agreed on the economy!! I live in Michigan... *sigh* |
Posted by: mainopsman 20-Dec-2008, 10:31 AM |
WallaceGal: Michigan has been hit very hard in so many areas, other manufacturing states have been hit hard as well. The Canadian auto industry which is tied with the US auto industry is getting hit also. Charities are coming up short this year, due to the poor economic picture. Many food banks are empty. More people are needing help and there is less available for them. We can only hope and pray things will change soon. But, when you reflect on what is happening, maybe, it's time for all of us to get back to the true meaning of Hanukkah and Christmas. Peace and Goodwill toward our fellow man. Remember to drop what you can into the collection plate or the Red Kettles as you pass. A dime, a quarter, a dollar bill, adds up to help for someone who needs it, be it Hanukkah, Christmas or during the rest of the year. Just the musings of an old man. JIM |

I want a night of rest, a warm, comfortable place to rest my head, and tickets to a celtic concert...but I'd skip the concert for a nap right now. |
Posted by: Faerydreamer 20-Dec-2008, 08:12 PM |
Right now, I would love to be able to give my son more of what he wants and needs for Christmas. I have one gift for him and that is it. People that were going to help us due to layoffs at my husband's work backed out on us. So now I have to try to help my son understand that this is all we could do. I agree about the economy. IT SUCKS! My husband is now on a two and a half week layoff. When he goes back in January, we are not guaranteed that the layoff won't be continued either. Happy Holidays! Yes, I am trying to keep a happy face and do the best I can in the present situation. |

I would love to have this CD. All of the music I hear on Celtic Radio is wonderful. Keep up the great work! |
Posted by: RebeccaAnn 20-Dec-2008, 10:25 PM |
Faerydreamer Don't worry about Christmas. All things will work out. I grew up without a father and times were hard for us. We had many struggles but we always managed. We may have had second hand clothes and not much but we were rich. We had love which is the greatest thing to have. We learned very early that the best gifts are handmade for they are filled with love. Just being together was enough. Every once in awhile we received a special gift. Miracles often happen at Christmas. Enjoy being with your family and make special gifts for each other. You will have a wonderful Christmas. RebeccaAnn |
Posted by: Faerydreamer 20-Dec-2008, 10:27 PM |
That is very true, RebeccaAnn. Family is the best part of the holidays. We do treasure our time. My husband is seriously thinking about one gift for my son, adoption. My son's father passed away almost four years ago. I always stress to my son that we have the best, each other. Thanks. |
Posted by: RebeccaAnn 20-Dec-2008, 10:35 PM |
What does your son think of your husband? How does he feel? I think being adopted would be the greatest gift ever. It would mean someone special cares about me and wants me enough to be with me for always. A father for Christmas would be the greatest gift. I could think of nothing better. RebeccaAnn |
Posted by: Faerydreamer 20-Dec-2008, 10:48 PM |
Funny situation! My current husband was my ex-husband's friend and caregiver. We have known each other for 12 years. Rich waited patiently for me. When my ex died, Rich started spending more time with us. I was thick headed about it. I did not realize what was going on until Christmas Eve 2005 when he gave me an engagement ring. My son and my husband get along great. They have moments but my son is either and Indigo child (still researching) or ADD/ODD. Either way some moments are very difficult. We have made a wonderful family together. Many people do not realize that Rich and my son are not biologically related. And the story behind the relationship is good for a laugh. Happy Holidays to everyone! |
Posted by: RebeccaAnn 20-Dec-2008, 10:55 PM |
Sounds like your husband is a great man. The greatest gift for your son would be adoption. He already is a real dad. So make it official. |

We will take the next post to win the Appalachian CD! |

me please |
Posted by: Faerydreamer 20-Dec-2008, 10:59 PM |
We will. It just takes time to get all the red tape taken care of. My son said he wants to change his first name along with his last name when this all happens. Thanks for helping me look at things a bit differently this holiday. May you be blessed during this time of the year. |
Posted by: RebeccaAnn 20-Dec-2008, 11:05 PM |
Merry Christmas! We haven't much but we have lots of love. If you write me a private mail or email me we can get together and find something special for your son and family. For us Christmas goes all the way til 12th Night which is Jan 6th. I would like to know about your son and try to make or get him something special. RebeccaAnn |

I must say that everyone I have talked to on this website has been very friendly. I have received help with Medieval Kingdom and now this. I am so glad that I found it and can listen to music and talk to wonderful people here. |
Posted by: RebeccaAnn 21-Dec-2008, 08:06 AM |
We are family here. There is much love here. I found that when I first came here. RebeccaAnn |

Greetings to all on this day!!!!! Here in New England, we have been hit hard by snow and ice!!!! I am thankful today that I have my family and friends. This Christmas is the third without my Dan. I miss him terribly, but I am glad that I have found the love of my life for the second time in life!! It is the most wonderful Christmas present that I could have gotten!! The last two were very uneventful!!!!!!!! I have learned to be grateful for what I have been dealt!!!! And the best is yet to come!!!!!! Merry Merry to all |

Aaah! Snow, just what you wanted. Snow for a White Christmas. It's only 66 and sunny skies out here in the desert. |

Sorry to hear about all the snow down below. Not to bad here it's 14 and clear. we went to North Pole Alaska yesterday to see Santa Claus and it was about -7 there. Hope you all get warm soon. Don http://www.santaclaushouse.com/ |
Posted by: Faerydreamer 21-Dec-2008, 05:10 PM |
I like the song "White Christmas" but I can do without the real thing. Snow makes me housebound most of the time. I do not go out without my husband once the bad weather hits. We got about two inches out of these storms instead of 5-10 like they called for. |
Posted by: ogdenmusic 21-Dec-2008, 05:10 PM |
Aaah shorts and a t-shirt...Used to live in Cincinnati so I know all about the snow and bitter cold weather. |
Posted by: RebeccaAnn 21-Dec-2008, 05:15 PM |
I think I got address sent to right place. Please let me know if it got there. RebeccaAnn |
Posted by: ogdenmusic 21-Dec-2008, 05:17 PM |
RebeccaAnn, you need to take some of that saved up gold and go and buy some more CD's. W O W!!! over 8 Mil in gold. |
Posted by: Faerydreamer 21-Dec-2008, 08:27 PM |
I would love to know how to get that much gold. I need it to get more training done. |
Posted by: ogdenmusic 21-Dec-2008, 08:28 PM |
Good luck to all with today's CD give away and to all a good night. I can't hold on any longer zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Snooze... Later. |
Posted by: RebeccaAnn 21-Dec-2008, 08:33 PM |
Don't know how I did. It just happened. I think my workers all went to the mines because it was warmer down under the ground than in the fields and woods. It's -1 and the wind is howling. Wish I had a nice warm fire to curl up by with a cup o hot spice cider. |
Posted by: Faerydreamer 21-Dec-2008, 08:45 PM |
That sounds wonderful except it would be hot chocolate in my mug. It is not quite that cold here but it sounds pretty windy. I am the only one awake in my house. So, I am spending my evening warming up with my computer...LOL. |
Posted by: RebeccaAnn 21-Dec-2008, 09:03 PM |
I got two in bed and one growly bear still running around. I'm freezing. I think I'll go make a Polar Express, if I can get hot water. Than I'll see if the sleeping bear will let me share some covers. RebeccaAnn |

You got it Faerydreamer!!! Send us your snail mail using our contact form. Tomorrow we will post the CD in the early morning and then take the winner in the afternoon. Sorry for late posts, but have been dealing with alot of snow in the Northeast. Also had a scary trip home from New Hampshire on Saturday over Mt. Kancamagus - completely snow covered and thousand foot drop over the side of the road....don't want to do that again! Glad to be home and will be on top of these contests for the rest of the week! |
Posted by: CelticRadio 21-Dec-2008, 10:23 PM |
Here are a few pictures of our trip over the Kancamagus highway in N.H. this past Saturday. This is a picture my son took looking out the passenger window. That is the side of the road and then about a thousand foot drop. I will post a few more pictures! |
Posted by: CelticRadio 21-Dec-2008, 10:25 PM |
This picture shows a very dangerous grade that ends as a hairpin turn. One minute you are going west, the next you are going east. |
Posted by: CelticRadio 21-Dec-2008, 10:29 PM |
This is a picture as we started out on our adventure. The pictures do no justice. It is absolutely heaven driving through deep snow covered ravines, mountain meadows, forests, glacier ponds with the temperture hovering around 7 degrees and snow squals coming and going with each turn of the road. Would not recommend this for the faint at heart. I nearly had a panic attack at the summit which was 2,800 feet. I've driven this route many times in the summer, but winter driving is another story... Ok, enough with the pictures, we will get back to the contest. I am just glad to be back on the level ground of the Celtic Radio studios! |
Posted by: RebeccaAnn 22-Dec-2008, 07:34 AM |
congraulations Faerydreamer. I'm glad you made it home safe CelticRadio. Those switchbacks can be fun even in good weather. RebeccaAnn |

The 12 Days of Christmas! contest continues with today's contest brought to you by: 3 French Hens!<hr> Today's CD is by Candice and Ritchie Blackmore. Their group, Blackmore's Night, currently has many albums playing on Highlander Radio. We all know Ritchie Blackmore from his days with Deep Purple and the lovely and beautiful vocalist, Candice Blackmore, makes "Winter Songs" a truly exceptional Christmas album: <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000" id="obj1" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" border="0" width="356" height="357" > <param name="movie" value="http://www.blackmoresnight.com/bmn_holidays.swf"> <param name="LOOP" value="false"> <embed src="http://www.blackmoresnight.com/bmn_holidays.swf" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" name="obj1" width="356" height="357" loop="false"></object> Our Review: "Few Christmas albums can really break new creative ground in the Celtic, Medieval or Folk genre - but leave it to Blackmore's Night to create a true inspiration for this holiday season. A beautiful composition of 12 traditional Christmas songs performed in true Blackmore fashion with electric guitars, angelic vocals and sweeping melodies. Winter Carols is a holiday CD that is to be treasured year in and out. One of our favorite tracks, Christmas Eve, is certain to put anyone in the Christmas Spirit - even ol' Ebenezer himself would certainly pour another glass of this fine musical wine and toast to humanity and life! Winter Carols is a symphony of resounding holiday sounds that will brighten your Christmas all through New Years." Read the full review here: http://www.celticradio.net/php/news.php?item=737 We expect to give this CD away today, so keep watching this thread for when the contest begins! This is our last Christmas CD we have up for grabs. The next 2 CDs/DVD will be announced on the day of the contest. |

Posted by: WallaceGal 22-Dec-2008, 11:24 AM |
That's sweet!! Like a little kid who can't wait to see what you think, huh? Yes, this is the one I'd really like, but if I don't win it here, I'll buy it after the holidays. And I probably won't be here when they do the give away anyway. I have a ton of last minute stuff to do today of course. |
