How do you feel about Christmas music? When fall ends and the Christmas season is ushered in with enthusiasm, you begin to hear Christmas songs everywhere; what is your reaction? You either love it, hate it or tolerate it. Here in Ottawa, Canada, we have a radio station that starts playing Christmas music right after Halloween ends. They have an l-o-n-g Christmas playlist.
Every. Single. Song. Is. Christmas.
In our family, some of us do not like this (me), and some love it (everyone else). As a result of the familial imbalance, every car ride is flooded with the whole spectrum of holly, jolly…and sappy Christmas songs ever created.
Honestly, I’m not a huge fan, but seeing the rest of my family singing along to their favourites with smiles on their faces is fun (I’m not fully Grinch).
Have you ever wondered why some of us get so annoyed with Christmas songs? It may be because they are played too early in the year or because they’re played too often. It may be that we’ve heard them so often that our ears can’t handle yet another rendition!
