Chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping at your nose, building a man of snow with a carrot nose and a coal for each eye, scarves, warm mittens, and hot chocolate. There are so many pleasant things about the Christmas season, therefore the holiday joy must spread throughout November as well as December. And what defines Christmas more than the jingles of the season.
“Generally, Christmas music is more calming,” said Bob Nelson FM 100 radio talk show host. When the stress of everyday life is too overwhelming, Christmas music can calm the mind. Christmas music is mainly cheerful, mostly because it brings back memories of past Christmases of a person’s life, which are basically good, unless that person has had a very deprived childhood.
Some may say that November first is too soon to begin playing Christmas music, which would be true, but there is a purpose behind the early beginning of cheer. Radio stations were asked in the year 2001 to begin playing Christmas music sooner to serve as a sort of comfort to the country. The tragedy of 9/11 caused an overall gloom in America. Music is very affective when it comes to the psychological mind set. For example, if someone were to listen to angry music they are probably going to be an angry person.
“People are so passionate about radio,” Nelson quoted, stating that the effect that radio has on America is significant, making the main music on the radio significant to a person’s mind set. Christmas music consists of calming and energetic genres, making it easy for people of all shapes and sizes to listen and enjoy.
