Fact: Christmas music is the best kind of music. As the leaves change and start to fall, you can't deny that one of your first thoughts is that it's almost Christmas season.
Right now you're like, 'wait a second...what about Halloween and thanksgiving?'
Again, two great holidays filled with fun activities, but NOTHING beats Christmas.
No matter who you are or where you're from or what holiday you celebrate, you LOVE Christmas music. Some of you may love to hate it, but at the end of the day, you can't NOT sing along to 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' (PS- that song is played all year round at local karaoke bars so don't even pretend that this song only appears during the winter).
So, I suppose I've gathered you here today to discuss one of Americas leading problems: when is it socially acceptable to begin bumping the Christmas tunes.
Now, there is no definitive answer so as a Christmas lover I'm here to share my opinion.
Picture this, it's November first. Halloween is over, you're probably hungover and you're laying in bed. It's NOVEMBER. Crazy, time flies, you know the drill. You truly don't have much to look forward to in November. I mean, are you going to decorate for thanksgiving? Are you going to make a thanksgiving Spotify playlist filled with songs about pilgrims? You know, I FIRMLY believe that this is the perfect opportunity to begin, subtly, playing your favorite Christmas tunes.
This does NOT mean immediately whipping out 'Holy Night' or 'Carol Of The Bells'. That's incredibly overwhelming and a song that is 100 percent meant for the week leading up to Christmas. If you're going to play Christmas music and probably annoy those people who I refer to as 'anti fun', you MUST play the right music.
November 1 acceptable jams (just to give you an idea):
Justin Bieber: 'Mistletoe'
Mariah Carey: 'All I Want For Christmas Is You'
Nsync: 'Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays'
Britney Spears: 'My Only Wish (This Year)'
Straight No Chaser: 'The 12 Days Of Christmas'
Anything Michael Buble... Literally anything
Now, as for the intense Christmas music, I would prefer that you keep that on mute until after thanksgiving. As soon as it's over, go crazy. But hearing Jingle Bells in November is a huge no from me. Stick to what I call 'Christmas Pop' until thanksgiving then let the real fun begin.
So now, it's time to eat, drink and be merry! I'll be patiently waiting for the inevitable hate mail I'm about to receive for being THAT girl that's already listening to Christmas music. You can't stop it, so you all might as well embrace it.
