It’s December 1… let the Christmas season begin!
Well, that’s how I see it anyway. I’ve always waited until the first of this wintery month to begin my decorating and playing those Christmas CDs.
One thing I’ve noticed, however, is this inverse relationship between how retail starts earlier and earlier, and people’s love of the season. For every Christmas carol in November, one more person feels like saying “bah humbug.”
I have a pretty healthy love of consumerism, so I’ve never, ever felt my love of Christmas wane. I love this time of year.
But that’s me – what about you…
WHAT MAKES
YOU FEEL ALL CHRISTMASSY?
And if you don't, why not? Too commercial? Too religious? Too culturally specific?
CBC Radio 3 blog editor John Paolozzi joins me today for some Missing Links…of the festive order. Do share yours.
