Each November 1st, a radio station here and there start playing Christmas music 24/7. More join in with each passing week. By December 1st, everyone is all in on the Christmas music.
We get week after week of Rocking Around the Christmas Tree and – God help us – Feliz Navidad.
So isn’t it weird then, that at midnight on December 25th, it all comes to an abrupt stop.
NOBODY plays a single Christmas song after Christmas Day.
Zip. Zero.
There is no afterglow whatsoever. It’s like Christmas never happened.
I guess I am weird about Christmas music.
I grumble about the excess before Christmas.
And then bemoan its prompt dismissal after.
Can’t we have just a little bit of balance?
