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?

15 Things That Happen On Your Birthday

Do you have a small get-together or throw a big bash?

University of Southern California

4691

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

1950

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
