Christmas Music
Christmas music is one of the pleasant experiences during the year because of the unspoken restrictions of playing the themed music. I think that the unspoken rule should be that the day after Thanksgiving, which is Black Friday should be the first day one should listen to Christmas music. Anytime before that point would just be overkill. I will give one exception to the unspoken Christmas Rule, and that is July 25th, which is Christmas in July.
I think that the Christmas Music should only be played after Thanksgiving because there is room for only one holiday at a time. I used to look forward during high school and college to the break that I would get during the Thanksgiving holiday week. While I would like to look forward to Christmas because of the weeks I would get a break during my school days, I would not want to wish the 4+ day weekend away to think about Christmas. When I’m celebrating the holiday and enjoying my relaxation, I can’t imagine pushing it away to start thinking about another holiday! Christmas music brings to mind that specific holiday, and by remembering that holiday, it makes me think past Thanksgiving.
Therefore, what I’m trying to get across, is don’t play Christmas music before Black Friday. It will help you enjoy your 4+ day weekend and help you relax.
I agree with you Jason!
Thanksgiving is a time of relaxing and thanking the Lord for his many blessings (as every day should be) while xmas is as well BUT it also brings headache.
Atleast for me because im always thinking what am I going to get this person and that person? How am I going to get it there will it get there on time? Things like that!
And I dont want to be reminded of it during Thanksgiving! Dont get me wrong I LOVE LOVE LOVE Christmas, The lights the music (after Thanksgiving) everyone just has a totaly different attitude about them ah I love it!
But at the same time like I said brings headache.
