I can’t wait to see Mariah Carey, Cee-Lo Green, Rod Stewart and The Rockettes perform at the Christmas tree lighting special tonight at Rockefeller center! It’s a tradtition every year for me to watch this Christmas special so I know I won’t be missing it. My DISH Coworker reminded me it would be on tonight. I won’t be home, so I recorded it on my DISH Hopper with the Primetime Anytime feature. I set this up to record all prime time programming that comes on the four major networks, without having to set up any individual timers. This saves me a ton of time. I look forward to seeing all of these performances!
