I Refuse To Listen To Christmas Music Until December 1st, I Don't Care That Thanksgiving Is Over
Madison Foster

A small percentage of people started listening to Christmas music the day after Halloween. Two months out from Christmas. While a majority of people think those select people are crazy, most people begin to listen to Christmas music by the time Thanksgiving has rolled around, basically completely skipping over this holiday.

From here, we are left with the people who debate whether to start listening to them the day after Thanksgiving or the first day of December. I am proud to say that I fall on the latter end of this debate.

I believe that the spirit of Christmas should be consolidated into the month of December. Christmas season is one of my favorite seasons of the year, and the Christmas music I listen to is a huge factor in this. The music truly gets me in the spirit and makes me feel warm and joyful throughout the cold month that is December.

That being said, as much as I adore Christmas music, I am not quite ready after Thanksgiving. The month of November is not associated with the spirit of Christmas in my mind, but the spirit of Thanksgiving. While the two are both amazing holidays that call everyone to be thankful and joyful, it isn't right to skip right over one.

I continue to listen to Christmas music throughout the whole month of December, and in the same way, I will enjoy the spirit of Thanksgiving for the entire month of November, even after the holiday has taken place.

I have several friends that begin to listen to Christmas music right after Thanksgiving, and they are all tired of the songs by the actual week of Christmas (a time when "Go Tell It On The Mountain" by The Pentatonix should be on full blast). I refuse to water down my beloved Christmas songs by listening to them too early.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
