It seems like every year, I have this debate with myself (and everyone around me) as to when it is socially acceptable to start listening to Christmas music. Every year, I think this is something that a lot of people struggle with. Even the radio stations don’t know whether to kick it off the day after Halloween with some subtle classics or wait until the first day of December to jump into the holiday season with song Bing Crosby. Either way, there is no denying that my love for Christmas music and the holiday season makes me a Christmas all-year-round kind of girl.
Needless to say, the Christmas season has already started for me, and my ears are enjoying Michael Buble’s melodic voice that puts me right to sleep after a long day of studying. If you ask me, the holiday season deserves to come a little early.
Why? Because the holiday season is the greatest time of the year (in my personal opinion). Spending time with family, reminiscing with old friends and partaking in all of the fun activities that accompany this time are some of the greatest memories that live on in my mind.
Everyone is always a little nicer around the holiday season. We look forward to the time we get to cherish with loved ones. We look forward to relaxing at home. We look forward to the joy that this season brings.
In a world that is constantly changing, embracing the values of the holiday season is something we should all do. So what’s wrong with that mentality coming a little early? If only every day could be like Christmas, right?
Whether you’re into Mariah Carey or Frank Sinatra, we all have our favorite Christmas tunes that we look forward to hearing each year. Even though it’s early November, don’t be afraid to whip out those classics now. Happy listening!
