Just the Essentials!


Christmas music, starting November 1st. DO NOT FIGHT IT! 

Yes, Thanksgiving gets its own accolades - it is a part of the HOLIDAY SEASON. We take the day, celebrate with food, family, a parade, and traditions. 

But when it comes to the holiday season as a whole, Christmas music starts November 1st for me. I know there are two camps when it comes to this debate - and respect either choice. I am simply speaking for myself, as this is my platform to do so! 

Another essential is Christmas movies. I love a good Christmas movie - but I don't play them until after Thanksgiving. The campy/cheesy Hallmark movies we are all suckers for are an exception to this rule, as they start in early November and are only shown on weekends.

I will also say that decorating can start after Thanksgiving too. I personally feel that the glow of a Christmas tree in the evening is magical during the holidays. I love seeing everyone post their decorations on social media, their kids in matching PJs, the dog in PJs. All of it is just wonderful.

The most important essential to my holiday is kindness. Whether it's people all over the parking lot, in the aisles at the stores, or traffic - just be kind. It's definitely hard this time of year, but you never know what someone is going through. Being kind will make a difference in someone's day, and you will feel better for it.
