I will fully admit that I’m not a fan of Christmas music. When I walked into a store the week before Halloween this year and heard a Christmas tune, I absolutely dropped an “F” bomb that wasn’t silent.

AFTER THANKSGIVING PEOPLE!! I can tolerate it, if I have to, after Thanksgiving. The weekend after Thanksgiving, I would tune the car radio until I found the Christmas music station and leave it for the kids when they were little. (I absolutely switched the station when I was driving by myself.) Now that they are taking turns picking their own music in the car on the way to school, only one has chosen a holiday tune once.

Fun tidbit: a local brewery (Radicle Effect Brewerks) will kick you out if you play a Christmas song on their TouchTunes. And that makes me love them even more. They do have the best Bloody Marys in town as well.

I don’t mean to hate Christmas music. I loved it as a kid — anxious about Christmas. We used to have an album with the Alvin & the Chipmunks Christmas song, a favorite in our household. It also had the songs “All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth” and “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas.”
