It's no secret that people really hate when others start celebrating Christmas before Thanksgiving is over. That being said, Can we celebrate Christmas now, since Thanksgiving has passed?
After reading countless articles about how it's wrong to listen to Christmas music before thanksgiving takes place, I think I am ready for some Christmas music. I will had to admit, I don't usually like to listen to Christmas music before Thanksgiving. It's not because I don't think people appreciate being thankful before wanting things. It's simply because I enjoy have my holidays in order and not diving into them too early. My Zodiac is a libra and we're all about balance. Playing Christmas music at thanksgiving is tipping the scales.
I feel Christmas has a distinct feeling that everyone can relate to. It's hard to describe, but I guarantee you know what I am talking about. When you hear Christmas music you start to feel a certain way. Let's say "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas" starts playing. That song is associated with the things that change when Christmas comes. I like to wait for Christmas music, because the seasons have to progress. It's hard to be in a Christmas mood when songs are talking about snow and there's not even any snow on the ground. Although I am ready to embrace the magic of Christmas music. I still can't fully get into the mood because where I live currently there is no snow and mostly rain. Not exactly the ideal weather to get you ready for Christmas.
Despite not being in a Christmas mood I do my best to force myself into a Christmas spirit. I find the best way to do that is Christmas shopping and no.. I don't mean black Friday shopping. That is a completely different thing and we aren't even going to go there. I mean actual Christmas shopping. Going out when December first begins and head to the mall and start searching for things people would like. Hoping you can find a nice deal without having to kill someone like black Friday.
I realize people have different feelings aboout Christmas too early or Christmas too late, but at the end of the day. We're going to celebrate Christmas how we want and when we want. No one can tell us different and that's okay. In my opinion, I think it is now time for Christmas!
I realize not everyone happens to celebrate Christmas, it just happens to be the Holiday I celebrate. To all of those who celebrate differently. Happy Holidays!
