:: quick facts for monday, december 1st

it's the first day of the end of your year. it's also the first official day you can listen to christmas music. i know, some people started listening to christmas music before it was even thanksgiving. some people were able to hold off until the day after thanksgiving. i made it until yesterday. i actually listened to a whole heck of a lot of christmas music.

i'll post a guide to some good christmas music tomorrow or wednesday, in case you're having trouble finding some.

i'll let you in on a little secret. i love this time of year. it's now officially them christmas/hanukkah/kwanzaa/holiday season, and that makes me very happy. i love listening to christmas music. i love the cold weather, even though there is rarely any snow. i love the mood that the collective populous seems to get into. i know jesus probably wasn't born this time of year, but i'm glad we celebrate it now.

and because i love this time of year so much, i'll be posting stuff about christmas a lot. like the afore mentioned guide to christmas music, artist of the week christmas edition, a look at "the twelve days of christmas", fun stuff like that. stick around, it'll be fun.
