Every year, I look forward to one particular time of the year, one particular month of the year.....December. This month seems to have everything in it. You have school, yet you have some holidays. You get to give and receive. Basketball has started and is on a roll, and my birthday is in December. (everyone always says "that would be so cool to have a birthday on a holiday especially Christmas".......yeah it's not. you only get one gift from your friends because it's so close together and finals are always on my birthday.)
Anyways, back to the point. Christmas is a wonderful time of year. You get to spend time with your family, decorate the Christmas tree, open up presents, go look at Christmas lights, the list could go on and on forever, but this Christmas I noticed something. The past few years I haven't enjoyed Christmas music because my radio station would play every version there was of "Jingle Bell Rock" or "Rocking Around the Christmas Tree", but this year, the station changed and started to play the Tran-siberian Orchestra, etc. I love listening to different Christmas songs or different versions of all kinds of Christmas songs now. However, Christmas night, when I was going to bed, I turned on my radio to listen to some music before I went to bed and loe and behold, the Christmas music was gone. Instead of listening to "Christmas Canon", I was listening to "Party like a Rockstar" and instead of "The Christmas Shoes" or "The Little Drummer Boy", I heard "Who Knew" and "Bad Day". I was very distraught over this.
I understand that Christmas Music goes on for 6 weeks and after a while it can get old. Believe me, I know. However, ending Christmas music Christmas Day?? That doesn't seem right. Shouldn't we at least go several more days, slowly decreasing the amount of Christmas music we play? It just doesn't seem right that as soon as everyone opens up their gifts and presents and eats the Christmas Dinner, we turn off all of Christmas. Christmas is more to that, yet why does it seem like it's all about?
