Readers lament the rush of Christmas tunes on air and celebrate the season’s messages. A U S exchange with Radio Moscow yielded ten popular Russian tunes, prompting a contrast with American songs like Lie to Me Alley Cat You Beat Me to the Punch If I Had a Hammer and Monster Mash. The piece argues for classic carols such as Silent Night Jingle Bells and Hark the Herald Angels Sing as better expressions of free world beliefs.
