Green Turned Around



Some people get upset when they hear Christmas music on the radio and at the mall before Thanksgiving’s over. I can understand that. Part of what makes Christmas music special is that you only get to hear it one month out of the year. With that same logic in mind, I’d suggest we reserve songs about winter until it actually IS wintertime. Take Jingle Bells, for example. It’s not a Christmas song, but I hear it everywhere I go, alongside Frosty the Snowman, Sleigh Ride and Baby It’s Cold Outside. These are winter songs, and winter is still a dozen days away. Three weeks from now, when it might be nice to hear Marshmallow World, Frosty the Snowman and Suzie Snowflake, all these songs will have disappeared until next autumn. Maybe I should just make my own “Winter Mix” so I can play Winter Wonderland and Let It Snow after Christmas is over.
