I have been listening to Christmas music ever since the day after Halloween. I love how it relaxes me and brings happy thoughts and feelings to me and my kids. I have been getting a lot of flack from others though as they hear me singing along or as they hear it playing on my work computer. I am surprised by each of their reasons for being bothered by such fun music. All in all though, I can't believe that they are unable or unwilling to let their hearts be filled with the Christmas spirit. Many of them, I am sure, are only willing to let it happen on Christmas day. I would hope that more people would keep the feelings of Christ's birthday in their hearts through out the year. (You can lump me in with those who need a little more spirit).
I have to tell you that when Laura and I were delivering the paper the other morning together that we were singing to the radio all of the carols at the top of our lungs in the car. We had a blast! I wonder what we sounded like when we had to stop for porches and we were singing out the window. The time certainly went by fast for us. I felt like we had been floating around the neighborhood while we were delivering...almost like a sleigh on a cloud of snow...
Merry Christmas Y'all!!!! Get in the mood!!!!

Funny how music affects us. I was kinda down at work the other day and decided to pop in an old country CD -- they were singing gospel country. Old time country. Next thing I knew, I was tapin' my toe and singing along ... probably drove everyone in the office crazy -- but it really picked up my spirits.
Now if I only had my ABBA CD --I could of belted out those high notes and REALLY had the crew in an uproar. LOL!
I love Christmas music too. The only reason why I think people might hate hearing Christmas music in November is because Christmas has become so commercialized and we can't even get through Halloween before the retailers are trying to get us buying and buying for Christmas. Sometimes it is nice to take a few weeks and focus on Thanksgiving and being Thankful before we get to caught up in the commercialization of Christmas. It is sad that such a special holiday has become this way to so many.
Anyway, that being said I am guilty of liking Christmas music too early sometimes too.
