Point: Christmas music should begin right after Halloween

Halloween has ended and the seasons are starting to change once again. Along with the change in season is a change in playlists. It’s time for some Christmas music to hit your playlists. Some people think it's too early for Christmas music since it is right after Halloween, but I disagree. 

Thanksgiving is a holiday without music. The music that fits perfect for around this time of year is Christmas music. It fits perfectly while the weather gets colder and kids eagerly await for Santa to show up at their house to deliver their favorite gifts. While Thanksgiving is a great holiday, there is nothing wrong with getting in the Christmas spirit beforehand by playing Christmas music. 

Christmas music amplifies holiday spirit during November and December, which are extremely festive months. There are some great classics every year such as “All I Want For Christmas Is You” by Mariah Carey, “Last Christmas” by Wham and “It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas” by Michael Buble. 

Typically most people begin to listen to Christmas music around mid November, but there is nothing wrong with starting even before that on November 1st to get in the holiday spirit. In my eyes, Christmas starts in November. Thanksgiving is just a holiday while Christmas defines an entire season of holiday cheer.  With that, what better way to get in the holiday spirit than to sip on your favorite holiday drink and listen to some Christmas music while you start getting prepared for your holiday shopping and decorating?

There is no better time of the year than the last three months.  There is no better way to conclude the year than to listen to Christmas music, and it will help you enjoy the stretch to getting to the holidays. For those who disagree with Christmas music right after Halloween, what is the difference between starting after Thanksgiving versus before? There is only a couple of days difference between the two. 

Go enjoy the best time of the year and turn up the volume on those Christmas tunes because there truly is no better feeling!
