5 Views on When to Start Playing Christmas Music

playbuzz

It's after Halloween, and so the most common question being asked is when is the right time to start playing Christmas music? I've heard it on the radio, on talk shows, and even between classmates. Each person has their own very strong opinion. Here are the different levels of people who listen to Christmas music.

1. The Hater

This person does not want to hear Christmas music at all- especially in the month of November. MAYBE they will allow it on Christmas eve and Christmas day, but never before or after.

2. The Decemberist

They consider the best time to start listening to this genre of music to be on December 1st. Maybe they think that they will get sick of it if they start listening any sooner. Most likely they want to keep Christmas music special and only want it to be played during the 25 days leading up to Christmas.

3. The Holiday Appreciator

Why wait until December when you can start listening to Christmas music the day after Thanksgiving?? Thanksgiving is the last holiday before Christmas, so this must be the perfect time to start listening to Christmas music, or so that is what this person thinks. They want each holiday to have their own day to shine. They think that if you start playing Christmas music before Thanksgiving, then the Thanksgiving holiday could be overlooked.

4. The Loyalist

Then there is the person who declares November 1st as the perfect day to start listening to Christmas music. Right after Halloween, after you have heard the monster mash 100 times in a row, they go directly to the cheerful and lovey music of the Christmas season. This person adores the Christmas spirit and wants to make the most of it while also trying to be a little conservative about when they start playing the tunes of a holiday that is two months away.

5. The True Believer

Finally, we have the person who puts us all to shame (or annoys the heck out of us). They think that there is never a bad time to listen to Christmas music. They have decided that it should be normal to listen to it year round. You might get into their car in May and they could be blasting one of the many versions of Jingle Bell Rock. You know this person and you love them for their uniqueness but you are also annoyed when they insist on playing a genre of music when it is boiling hot.

So, which one are you?

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
