Who's Rockin' Around the X-mas Tree This Year?

Can't we just let it be Halloween first? Must we move on to Christmas before the Thanksgiving turkeys have been slaughtered? Prepare yourself for the ouslaught of x-mas misery, because they've just announced the lineup for the "Christmas in Rockefeller Center" broadcast. This is the 74th year of lighting the famous tree.

Al Roker and Ann Curry from the Today Show will host the event, while performances from Christina Aguilera, Sting, Lionel Richie, Bette Midler, Sarah McLachlan, Eyna, John Legend, Martina McBride, and Taylor Hicks kick off the shopping, shoving, fighting, over-spending , in-law & family visiting, crowded mall, delayed traffic hellish season. I need a spiked eggnog now.
