    Christmas Music before Thanksgiving
    She+Said

    Am I allowed to listen to Christmas music after Halloween? How long is an acceptable time to wait for Christmas music to be played? Sometimes when you’re having a rough time you and you need a little holiday cheer. What better way than with Wham’s “Last Christmas”? Maybe some old classic Christmas songs such as “Here comes Santa Claus (Right Down Santa Claus Lane)” by Gene Autry. 

    I am not saying we should decorate for Christmas, I am just saying sometimes music can get you into a festive holiday mood. Besides, with all of the early black Friday deals, everyone is getting prepped and ready for Christmas,

    I think that even though Thanksgiving is a very fun holiday, and I look forward to cooking and spending time with my family, I get way happier from the Christmas season. It’s never about the presents for me, but the happy memories and nostalgia I get from all those times.
