This morning my 5 year old was singing Let It Snow and I realized something. A lot of Christmas songs start playing in November, but are about the snow that (in Michigan) we usually don’t see until January.
Frosty the Snowman? Dude is not getting built until February.
Let It Snow? The weather outside is mild.
Winter Wonderland? Astronomical winter doesn’t start until December 21. You probably aren’t going to have snow glistening in your lane for another month.
The song that gets it right is White Christmas. I’m dreaming of a 36% chance of a white Christmas. And as the climate changes, that 36% is going to 📉
My point, if I have one, is that radio stations should start separating the Christmas music from the winter music, and milk the seasonal playlist for another 6 weeks until mid-February
One response to “Christmas Songs Are a Huge Scam”
For most of my life, I thought “winter” was around November to January, mostly because of all the holiday stuff. (I grew up in Southern California, so it’s not like the weather was any help.) It starts a few days before Christmas!? What the hell!?
