This Christmas you can dial in Hanukkah music on your radio

Every year it's the same -- the relentless refrains of ``Santa Baby'' and ``Silver Bells,'' those saccharine lyrics that seem to fill every radio frequency, not to mention the airwaves in stores and restaurants and offices. By the time Christmas is over, Terri Lynn says she feels saturated.
"It's 24 hours of Hanukkah! I'll be dancing the horah,'' said Lynn, a publicist whose clients include the Salvation Army, the Jewish Federation of Broward County and Habitat for Humanity. ``This could be refreshing. Who knows? Maybe non-Jews will start loving these songs, too.''
Radio Hanukkah will kick off on Friday, Dec. 15th (25th of Kislev) and run through Dec. 23rd on XM Satellite Radio to XM channel 108. Included beginning on Friday will not only be Hanukkah songs including ``I Have a Little Dreidel,'' but also candlelight blessings and Jewish-themed specials with celebrities ranging from comedian Al Franken to sex therapist Dr. Ruth Westheimer to the rock band Barenaked Ladies.
