When should Christmas music be played? I personally think Christmas music should be played year round! Unlike Brightyn Mills I actually enjoy the sound of happiness and childhood. I enjoy listening to the music that I grew up listening to repeatedly. My family and I would enjoy listening to Christmas music while we would set up the tree and bake cookies. We would also go around and visit family and all I can remember is the smell of cookies and christmas music in the background. I have a sentimental attachment to Christmas music because it reminds me of my family and when things were simpler. I remember visiting my Grandpa during Christmas and we would listen to the Christmas radio non-stop. Before he moved across the country we were able to spend one last Christmas together and we listened to Christmas music all day and set up his tree for the last time.
