When's It OK To Play Christmas Music?

It is that time of the year! No, not Christmas, but the time when people began debating whether or not it is okay to play Christmas music yet.

When's It OK To Play Christmas Music?

The TODAY show debates it every year, and every year, it makes me question my Christmas music habits.

There is nothing that makes me feel better than bopping to Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas is You" (except for when she's performing on New Year's Eve) or "Pentatonix's Santa Claus is Coming to Town".

These warm-spirited songs bring joy to my life and make doing chores around feel less time-consuming. But is November 1st too early to start these jams? I do not think so. Sometimes, when my phone is on shuffle, these songs come on in July, and they are just as fun then.

Christmas Music is meant to put everybody in the holiday spirit… and Thanksgiving is part of the holidays… isn't it? For some reason though, people are judgmental about me starting my music so early.

I just ignore the haters and play my music anyways. There is nothing better at turning my mood around than "Hark the Herald Angel" or "Little Drummer Boy".

So, the answer is, it is okay to play Christmas music whenever you want, but I won't be starting until November. Just block the haters out because they obviously just don't want to be as jolly as you.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
