All Christmas All the Time
You've heard those stations that play Christmas Music non-stop, right? Does it seem like they start earlier every year? I avoid them. I would rather take my commercial Christmas music in small doses. It is true that the music can make me nostalgic. I guess it's all about a longing for home. Perhaps, a longing for safer and more secure days in my childhood. But, I can't go there non-stop.Apparently others can and do. It's a ratings bonanza for the radio stations that play all Christmas Music, and that translates into revenue.
Marketplace has a report...
If you're like me and find the commercialism disconcerting, fear not. Charles Schultz got it right.
The symbolism of the evergreen is the hope it represents that we will emerge from the bleak midwinter and be renewed like the earth with the coming of spring.
