5 Views on When to Start Playing Christmas Music

playbuzz

It's after Halloween, and so the most common question being asked is when is the right time to start playing Christmas music? I've heard it on the radio, on talk shows, and even between classmates. Each person has their own very strong opinion. Here are the different levels of people who listen to Christmas music.

1. The Hater

This person does not want to hear Christmas music at all- especially in the month of November. MAYBE they will allow it on Christmas eve and Christmas day, but never before or after.

2. The Decemberist

They consider the best time to start listening to this genre of music to be on December 1st. Maybe they think that they will get sick of it if they start listening any sooner. Most likely they want to keep Christmas music special and only want it to be played during the 25 days leading up to Christmas.

3. The Holiday Appreciator

Why wait until December when you can start listening to Christmas music the day after Thanksgiving?? Thanksgiving is the last holiday before Christmas, so this must be the perfect time to start listening to Christmas music, or so that is what this person thinks. They want each holiday to have their own day to shine. They think that if you start playing Christmas music before Thanksgiving, then the Thanksgiving holiday could be overlooked.

4. The Loyalist

Then there is the person who declares November 1st as the perfect day to start listening to Christmas music. Right after Halloween, after you have heard the monster mash 100 times in a row, they go directly to the cheerful and lovey music of the Christmas season. This person adores the Christmas spirit and wants to make the most of it while also trying to be a little conservative about when they start playing the tunes of a holiday that is two months away.

5. The True Believer

Finally, we have the person who puts us all to shame (or annoys the heck out of us). They think that there is never a bad time to listen to Christmas music. They have decided that it should be normal to listen to it year round. You might get into their car in May and they could be blasting one of the many versions of Jingle Bell Rock. You know this person and you love them for their uniqueness but you are also annoyed when they insist on playing a genre of music when it is boiling hot.

So, which one are you?

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
