Universe kicked me in the junk so I dialed in Xmas Tunes

[Adcurium]

I'm healthy, and my wife and daughter are healthy but, the past 6 weeks have been tough. I can't seem to get out of my own way and things that can go wrong usually do (again, in the grand sceme of things everyone is safe and healthy but my cases at work are blowing up on me, I'm dumping milk on my newly polished shoes, dropping lunch on my best ties, etc).

So, even though it was only the first week of November, I dialed in Christmas Songs on Pandora and have been listening to Holiday music for the past 2 weeks. I realized it is the happiest music I know and it does a good job getting me in an OK mood.

Is anyone else listening to Holiday Music yet? My wife things I've lost it and she refuses to listen before the weekend following Thanksgiving.

I love Christmas music, too, but yeah, like your wife, I have to wait until after Thanksgiving before I pop in the Bing Crosby and Nat King Cole CDs.

If I had all that stuff happening to me I think I'd just get some Keystone Cops type music and use it as a sort of personal running soundtrack...

 

[Undertow]

I listen to Bing all year 'round, and sometimes his Xmas stuff pops in, too. As far as strictly holiday music, I also wait until Thanksgiving is over, the turkey's put away and the tree goes up. Then I can start officially.

I've been known to do the same thing at various odd times. Not so far this year, but it may happen.

Dont listen to it, myself, but Im glad you found something to help make you feel better. All the best!

Here in Utah there are 2, thats right 2, radio stations that play nothing but Christmas music for all of November and December. They are my go to stations once Halloween is over. I love it! Keep the holiday tunes coming I say.

 

[Foofoogal]

I actually have been listening to it. We have several channels on the TV with it. I like the instrumental best. Gets me in the mood to list my Christmas inventory.

I'm listening also. I have an extensive amount of obscure and rare Christmas music, so I can listen and enjoy and not feel like I'm "cheating". The real warm and fuzzy stuff like Nat King Cole, etc, I try to hold off til after Thanksgiving.

Yes, right after Thanksgiving is when we start decorating for Christmas. That's when the Christmas CD's come out.

I've been trying to hide it from mine too, but he caught me lol

I started the 2nd week of November, but my excuse is that I have to be ready for a Christmas tour by Dec. 5th. I needed mood music to decorate by

 

[ScionPI2005]

I haven't started listening to Holiday music yet. If I did, I might get burned out before Christmas gets here. I have to wait until after Thanksgiving too. Then it feels right.

Remember, Mell Torme wrote "The Christmas Song" while sitting at the beach!

Listen to whatever makes you happy.
