I usually keep it down,somewhat, while they are eating main coarse and talking.I mix in a few slower pop Christmas, and a few traditional. For the first time, I will include some "White Christmas" tempo vocals as background, also. It is a little tricky because it is staggered buffet,but I just watch the crowd to get a feel of appropriate tempos and sound levels.

With, now, 65 Christmas songs, I am leaning to keeping the spirit of Christmas intact, but never thought of Hanukkah. I can do Hava Nagila, along with Boogie Woogie Choo Choo Train, just to name a couple upbeat tunes.

Thanks for the response, Donny
