Too Early for Christmas Music?

[Anathema]

There is ZERO reason to see ANYTHING Christmas related until Advent Season starts on December 1st.

My brother believes in continuing to celebrate Christmas into the New Year, I forget he reason... some kind of season or ritual.... dumb....

As an atheist Christmas means absolutely nothing to me on an emotional level. It is disruptive, expensive, and filled with shitty music and bravado. However, on a positive note it does allow me to take some time off and visit with family. So for that opportunity afforded by the season I accept Christmas.

Very simple..... Despite what Americans believe, December 25th is the FIRST say of Christmas, not the 12th. The 12th day is January 5th, which brings us to January 6th, which is Three Kings Day (the celebration of the visit of the Wise Men).

More power to you, dude. People do not appreciate tradition and institution anymore. It is the unraveling of western culture.

Have a box of candy canes for the kids but not giving them out until Dec 1st onwards.

Well??????????

He won't answer. He thinks it's ok for kids to have sex. He'll be totally honest.. up to a point....

oh so you agree with him. Okay well, to each his own. I'm just glad it's over for us on Dec 26th. New Years (since I can drink or drug) is a total waste...

I just forgot (or ignored) what he said.... thanks for the reminder

It's not a matter of agreement or disagreement. I'm just pointing out the theological reasoning for what your brother is doing.

I think he just uses it as an excuse to prolong the festivities. He's a happy guy, loves all that stuff.... my total opposite (except we both like tennis) - of course, he's much better than I am...

Eggnog should make its appearance a week after Halloween, and not go away until middle of January. Then it should show up again for a week in July to remind us the first half of the year is over and we are headed to Eggnog season.

 

[ChrisL]

Eggnog is disgusting.

 

[Jarlaxle]

Some is. Good egg nog is great, at least in small doses.

The trick being: finding good egg nog!

.... or is it never too early? (or late?)

Have a favorite Christmas song?

Mine are:

O Holy Night and Sleigh Ride

Favorites, yes: the TSO's Sarajevo 12/24 comes to mind.

It is way too early...especially since they seem to play the same eight damn songs on a damned loop.

It's too thick!

 

[Jarlaxle]

Cut it with 25% milk.

 

[ChrisL]

It's too sweet too. I guess I'm just not a big fan of the old egg nog! I don't know how people can drink it with alcohol in it either. Blech. I'd probably throw up.
