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.
