Why We Should Save Christmas Music For Christmas

The minute Halloween ended, people stopped listening to "Thriller" and "The Monster Mash" and switched to "Last Christmas" and Michael Buble's entire Christmas album. That means almost two months of Christmas music. Doesn't two months of the same few dozen songs get old? How many times can we hear about Mommy kissing Santa Claus or Elvis's blue Christmas before we completely deplete our love for Christmas music?

Christmas is my favorite time of the year: family get-togethers, good food, lots of cookies, and everyone sharing the same holiday cheer. You can't deny that there's a special feel to Christmas that is unique to the few weeks leading up to the holiday. The songs during this time of the year add to the sentiment of the season and almost define the Christmas season. When we start playing these songs during fall, they get jaded and lose their effect. If the Christmas songs weren't synonymous with Christmas, they wouldn't be as exciting. Playing them the minute Halloween ends will change the identity of the songs, and they will lose their power.

Playing Christmas music at the beginning of November overlooks Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is such an important holiday in the U.S. and doesn't deserve to live in the shadow of Christmas.

Plus, there are so many Christmas songs that get old after hearing them a few times. There are many good Christmas songs, but others make me want to tear my hair out. We all know, you gave him your heart last Christmas, and because of that, you're going to have the worst holiday this year. The first few times this song plays, we can sympathize with you, but after, the song is complaining about the same loser for months on end, and we're over your drama. And we all learned our lesson about Rudolph years ago. There is no need to listen to his life story over and over—maybe a nice reminder once a year, but not every hour in department stores.

If we continue extending the Christmas season for so long, we will eventually lose our love for the holiday. Save the Christmas songs for the right time of the time of the year.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
