56 Days

Every year, my mother drags out Christmas music in September (seriously, she’s nuts) and I always make some comment or other. I don’t break out the X-mas tunes until after Thanksgiving…when the decorations come out.

I can no longer chastise my mother for listening to Christmas music early. While listening to my media player at work, it went from Neko Case right on into a Christmas playlist and I didn’t realize it until I started singing along with Johnny Mathis halfway through the playlist. I was so involved in the work I was doing, that any and all music became background music.

You know, I didn’t intentionally put it on and I didn’t even realize I was listening to it right away…so it doesn’t count…right? Right?
