I've been listening the Christmas music for the last 2 months, but it's been on ipod arrest, since my teammates don't believe in pre-Thanksgiving Christmas enjoyment. But now it's playing loud and clear throughout our place.
Andy Williams, Harry Connick Jr., and yes....even some Mariah Carey folks.
Everything has a different ring here--it evokes a different reaction than it used to when back at home. It's almost more pure in some way, as if all the distractions of the Walmart aisles and t.v. holiday commercials numb up the beauty of Christmas a bit. It's not like I don't love holiday commercialism--i unfortunately do. But among the unrest of a place like this, I find myself wishing for a silent night more than ever.
