When is it acceptable to start listening to Christmas music?
‘Anytime after Thanksgiving, never before’
Christmas might be a few weeks away, but I wouldn’t mind going to the Bell Tower and start blasting Christmas music with the largest speakers that I could find! Starbucks has their seasonal flavors out and Dilworth Park has the skating rink ready to be skated on by everyne who’s in the holiday mood.
Yes, it’s early. But is it ever too EARLY for some holiday joy? We asked students on campus about what they believed was the acceptable time to start listening to Christmas music.
