I caved. It is not even Thanksgiving and the need for Holiday cheer (not to mention the perpetual playlist) has led to a disgusting amount of Christmas music played on the radio. It seems as if this holiday begins earlier every year. Eventually, Christmas will end, we will celebrate New Years, and then we will have Christmas preparation for the entire year following. Every year will be Christmas, it will be a year-long event.
People have great memories of the holidays. I celebrate Hanukkah (so Anthony likes to poke fun at me that I will never have the experience of running down and seeing presents under a tree) but it does not matter what holiday you celebrate, there is just something about the time. The weather is cold, you sit bundled up in a warm blanket with hot cocoa and presents, wrapped up and mysterious. You may know what you are going to get, you annoyed your parents enough about that new video game, but there is still this sense of the unknown. There is sincere excitement. It does not matter how old you are. The holiday season is just wonderful.
But, does it need to start so soon. I want to be able to stuff my face with my grandmother’s stuffing before I have to start listening to Christmas cheer. I like getting the gluttony out of my system first. So, in honor of the early Christmas music, the Music Court will start off the holiday right with a poll about Christmas albums…The Worst Christmas Albums Ever!
There are a lot of worthy candidates. Do your research and make a choice. I know it will take me a while to decide. Good Luck!
