Friends and family I welcome you to the insanity that is the holiday season. A time when Christmas music clogs the airways, and decorations are set out so early that I feel I may be celebrating the wrong holiday. It seems to begin creeping in earlier and earlier every year, and it causes me to want to sing Deck the Halls as I munch on a plate of turkey.
I don't mind Christmas music, I actually enjoy listening to Christmas music at various points in time during the year. Strange, I know.
The one aspect that I do not enjoy about the holidays is the gruesome travel days before the main events. All of America seems to leave at exactly the same time and cause trip times to suddenly double. But, the outcome is worth the effort in getting to see friends and family and share the joy of being able to be together.

i actually really like the holidays. i'm a little torn this year because i am staying in charlotte instead of going to be with my family in memphis.
i've said it before and i'll say it again: Christmas music is THE BEST. my favorite CD of all-time is the Charlie Brown Christmas album- Vince Guaraldi is a genius.
OH MY GOSH, KIM! i, too, adore my charlie brown christmas cd. i listen to it every night (from thanksgiving through new years) as i drift off to sleep. :)
i love the holidays. i'm so excited. i just wish it would get cold. it's not right that thanksgiving is in like three days and it's still in the 80s here. bleck.
I love the holidays. The only aspect that bothers me is the travel days.
My old roommate used to start listening to music November 1st. It was insane. I love the holidays, but when Christmas decorations start coming out in September, I get a little annoyed.
