I have a confession...I'm a scrooge.  It's true.  Nothing sends me into scrooge mode faster than hearing Celine Dion's "Feliz Navidad" in a retail store BEFORE Thanksgiving.  This means that six weeks out of every year, we're hearing Christmas music.  That's more that one day out of every ten this year, you will hear Christmas music.  This, to me, is offensive.  No, not religiously offensive.  But musically offensive, yes!  We should create a two laws to remedy this predicament.  1.  Christmas music may only be played after Thanksgiving.  2.  No new Christmas songs may be recorded.  Miley Cyrus or Black-Eyed Peas or Snoop Dog does not need to re-record "White Christmas".  PERIOD! 

December 26th marks one of my favorite days--the day when I will not hear another Christmas song until late October.

Happy Christmas, everyone!
