Christmas comes to XMKids radio

The holiday shopping season just began a couple of hours ago, and already you're probably sick of Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree. Possible solution: XMKids, XM satellite radio's channel for kids, which for the next month will specialize in off-the-beaten-path Christmas music, from the New Birth Brass Band's jazzy Santa's Second Line to the Smithereens' rockabilly version of Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer. And if you're toting the kids home from a long day at the mall at 11 p.m., the Absolutely Mindy variety show has a group interview with Nick at Nite's resident boy band, the Naked Brothers Band.
