StrawberryFields Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 This made me laugh. Just the other day when I was talking to my MIL I told her that I was going to put up my Christmas Tree after Halloween. The way I feel about it is that if music or a tree makes you happy then go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palerider Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 There is a song and I don't know the name of it or who it is by.....but I can tell you it has these words.......Christmas starts after halloween with a buffet in between and it isn't over until you throw away the tree....it is really funny........... I listen to Christmas music after thanksgiving......like all kinds.....this year I am going to get a Christmas Cd by the Trans Siberian Orchestra.....hopefully I spelled it right.......they are awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindy Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 When do u start listening to christmas music?My mother has already started listening to it...for me personally i like to wait till just after thanksgivingFunny you should ask Dancer.... I bought some Christmass music at a yard sale several weeks ago (in September)... listened to Christmas songs for hours while I drove home. I have been known to listen to Christmas music in June if the need arises I see Christmas songs like church hymns... they make me feel good when I'm down, give me hope, inspiration and ..... well, I know the words to many- so I can sing along to entertain myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blessed Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 My mother died on Thanksgiving ( be three years this year). The nurse was playing Christmas music when she died not knowing that that was my mother's favorite music. She played it all year round. I can hardly stand to listen to it still. Maybe this year it won't bother me that much as we are going Maui for Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pushka Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 I usually start listening to it when it starts to appear on tv, around November I think. I started thinking about which presents to buy yesterday, and collected the gift brochures from the local shops. I'm planning a Halloween party for my friend's 2 little kids and their mates next week...should be fun! It's a gift to my friend for having helped me out for the last few weeks while my legs have been poorly.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this year it won't bother me that much as we are going Maui for Christmas.Blessed,I don't know if this will help you or not but I will share something a hospice nurse shared with me while my own mother was dying three years ago. She told me to play her favorite music because it would give her a since of peace and control.I played some music from Elvis and other fifties music she used to love to listen too. I think holidays are the most difficult times after losing someone we love. My moms mother died on Thanksgiving she received the call, and then sat down to dinner without saying a word to us. My grandma had been sick for a very long time and my mom didn't want to put a damper on our holiday.This will be the first Thanksgiving I will spend at my dads house since losing my mom. My dad is now dying of cancer and more then anything he would like to have dinner at his house with him and his girlfriend hosting it. It will be strange to say the least. Have a wonderful time on your holiday in Maui.Pushka, Sorry to hear your legs have been hurting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr T Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 My wife has already loaded the CD player and has been playing Christmas music for about a week. I used to say, "At least wait until Thanksgiving is over!" but now I have to say, "Wait until Holloween is over!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maureen Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 The radio station I listen to at work usually starts playing Christmas music the beginning of December, so that's when I start too. :) M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outshined Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 About the first of November I start cranking up the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, to get ready for the concert. Then I take the wife and kids to see them live (the 17th of November this year), and see a great band give a great concert. They have three great Christmas albums. http://www.trans-siberian.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LionHeart Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 I have a friend (who is a dude) who, in the middle of summer, a bunch of guys were riding with him in his car and he had christmas music playing. So the guys just figured "well, he must have had it in here since last christmas and just recently turned it on again." So the tape gets over, and my friend starts digging through his collection of tapes for a different one. By now the boys are thinking "Yeah, we can now listen to something a bit less christmas." So my friend finds a tape and says: "Oh, this one's a good one." He puts it in, and what do you know, more christmas music. L.H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
