After work on Wednesday, I went over to my mom's for my "big" family get-together for Christmas. In attendance were my brother who lives locally, my sister and two older nieces who also live locally. Also there was my brother and sister-in-law from California with my younger niece and nephew.

We had a delicious dinner prepared by my mom and then desserts that included Angel Food cake OR Chocolate Chip cookies baked by my sister's younger daughter. She makes some of THE BEST cookies! Somehow we had a few left, so I brought them into work this morning where they are sure to be finished by probably 1:00 this afternoon. haha.

By the way, I need to say an early Happy Birthday to said niece, Riley...she turns 21 on New Year's Eve!!! Happy Birthday, Riley!!!!

I'm in for Cherise all week on WQMX. This week with the Country Quiz at 11:15, I have your chance to win a $25 gift card to Sergeant Clean Clean car wash! With 16 area locations, there is one not far from you...what a perfect way to ring in 2024 - with your car nice and clean!

It's our Wash Away 2023 with Sergeant Clean and WQMX.

We are into that week between Christmas and New Year's. This is NOT what the roads look like with people going to work this week. Coming into work this morning, I could count the number of cars on the road!

This is just a strange time of year. Kids are out of school. Some people have to work. Some don't (LUCKY!!!) HAHA.

If you have gifts to exchange...good luck in THAT traffic.

This is it! It is Friday afternoon of Christmas weekend. Other than those of us at the radio station, is anyone still at work? ;) haha. Christmas is on Monday which is great...it'll be a green (brown really) Christmas with temperatures nearing 60. Not exactly the Christmas we grew up with, huh?

Make the best of it and turn on WQMX all day Christmas Eve and Christmas Day for two full days of Christmas music. Your favorite weekend personalities will be here with you for the holiday, and the rest of us will be back on Tuesday.

Have a very Merry Christmas from the WQMX family!

With today being the Winter Solstice, that means it is the shortest day of the year!!! Rejoice, because for the next six months we will see more daylight every day. I love the longer days when it stays light until 9:00 and is nice and warm in the summer.

As you travel around town the next several days, you may just see me jumping for joy like the two people in the picture..now if only we could get rid of the clouds and actually see some sunshine!

On my way into work today, I saw a great looking snowman. A classic! The tree branches for arms, a scarf, a hat, eyes and a nose. He looked awesome! He was a little on the smaller side though. Not sure if he was made that way or if today's sunshine sped up the aging process a bit.

Either way, temperatures are supposed to be sticking around the 40s through the weekend and right now, Christmas Day could be near 60!!! Whoever made this awesome snowman is going to have to have a little snowman funeral in the coming days :(.

If you happened to miss the CMA Country Christmas hosted by Trisha Yearwood & Amy Grant last week, or you want to watch it again...have no fear!!! ABC is going to air it again this Wednesday evening.

That's right! You'll have another chance to catch the performances of Jordan Davis, Lady A, Jon Pardi, Lainey Wilson, and more this Wednesday night (12/20) at 10 on ABC. Not only that, you can stream it on HULU and Disney+ as well. Merry Christmas!

It appears we are getting new music from Carly Pearce in 2024. She posted several pictures on Instagram to hint that new stuff is on the way! 

Not only that, the next album will likely be a little more upbeat than her last, 29:Written In Stone. Check it all out on her Instagram page!

I don't know about you...but I think the past couple of days have been awesome! Of course we don't see much sunshine around here this time of year, which leads to some depression in some people..myself sometimes included. That, and with how early it gets dark, it gets bad.

That's why I have been so happy this week with how much sunshine we've been seeing. Nevermind if it's chilly...the sun still helps your mood. It looks like we have one more sunny day tomorrow (Friday) before we go back to the clouds and yuckiness. Enjoy the sun and smile!!! :)
