November 1st may just seem like the day after Halloween to many, especially those nursing killer hangovers. But today is actually a special day because it signifies the time when I allow myself to start listening to Christmas music!
People may think it's weird that I, an individual who definitely identifies as Jewish, would get so excited over Christmas music. But I love Christmas, especially all those aspects of it which are deemed "too commercial" by some Christian groups. Jesus is NOT the "reason for the season" for me, but the overproduced music and manufactured nostalgia totally are the "reasons for the season".
I love how festive everything seems, and I'm totally excited to actually be in a city where it snows around Christmas time this year. But I'm sure I'll be changing my tune when it comes time for me to stand outside in the bitter cold and slowly chip away at the ice that coats my windshield.
