12 Songs That Prove Christmas Music (Still) Needs To Wait Until December 1st

Look, I know 2020's been rough. I'm not saying we couldn't use some Christmas cheer. But Thanksgiving still exists, and I think it's important now in particular to remember and be grateful for the things that really matter. Besides, we didn't have the pandemic as an excuse for radio stations playing Christmas songs in November all those other years.

Come on, just look at the titles of the songs themselves. Here's 12 of them that show Christmas music was just meant for December, or, if you really, really want, at least the day after Thanksgiving.

1. "All I Want For Christmas is You" — Mariah Carey

Aren't you going to see them at Thanksgiving?

2. "Frosty the Snowman" — Gene Autry

He's not ready to come back yet.

3. "Sleigh Ride" — Amy Grant

Not sure where you're going to go sleigh riding in the middle of fall.

4. "Where Are You Christmas?" — Faith Hill

Maybe it's hiding behind Thanksgiving.

5. "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" — Andy Williams

Let's be honest, has 2020 really had a "most wonderful time" yet?

6. "Winter Wonderland" — Michael Bublé

Once again, not even close to winter.

7. "Last Christmas" — Wham!

You've still got Thanksgiving to enjoy, why are you already worrying about last Christmas?

8. "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town" — Bing Crosby

Santa hasn't even started packing yet.

9. "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" — Dean Martin

Not yet it's not.

10. "Christmas Time is Here" — Vince Guaraldi Trio

Craig Adderley // Pexels

Actually, Thanksgiving Time is here at the moment.

11. "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" — Gene Autry

Tim Gouw // Pexels

We don't even know if we'll need him yet.

12. "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" — Dean Martin

Do we want that much snow already?

Trust me, the minute it's December 1st, I'm cranking up 101.5 The River and singing my heart out. I'll even tolerate Christmas music in those last few days of November. But let Thanksgiving be.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
