Tis the Season

Everyone has something that makes them the happiest.  Something that can dramatically change your mood.  In American slang I mean going 0 to 100 real quick because of this thing.   This is something that you embrace no matter what is going in your life or the time of year.  For me this would be Christmas, but more directly Christmas Music.
                Since I can remember, I have loved Christmas music.  It started when I was young at my grandparents’ house.  They had a little electronic Santa Clause that sang “Santa Clause is coming to Town.” My family would hit the button at least 20 times on Christmas Eve and it was magical every time.  I would dance and sing and in that moment everything was great.
                The first time I saw White Christmas I was in love.  That year I must have re-watched the show enough to be considered an expert.   The lead female’s voice was one of the best I had ever heard.  I would listen to the songs from the show throughout the whole year just to feel good.  I dreamed to be one of these girls, singing these songs and being idolized by young girls, like myself. 
                I have four copies of the Michael Buble Christmas Album stashed away both in my car and my room.  This is just in case I lose or scratch one.  I love the classics from Bing Crosby and the newer pop hits.  Even the Disney Channel hit from the Cheetah Girls, “This Christmas”.  I have five playlists on Spotify that contain my favorite seasonal songs.
                Now, I start listening to Christmas music the day after Halloween.  Why wait for Thanksgiving when I could embrace the Christmas spirit for a month long.  My family will yell and make fun of me for the whole year but I will never turn the Christmas music off.  And, I’m sorry but if Christmas music makes me happy then let me listen to it.
