Christmas Music? Not a fan...

Christmas music, an unfair and biased propaganda, which has plagued the spirit of Christmas since the advent of Santa Claus. Not only is every single mall, dentist office, hospital, Wal-Mart, and any other popular outlet in America sucked into this assemblage of bad composition. But television and radio stations air this from Halloween to Martin Luther King Day. The interesting part is that all this biased propaganda is illegal according to the fairness doctrine mandated by the F.C.C. (Federal Communications Commission.) In 1948. What this states is that any broadcasting station that gives a certain amount of air time to one particular popular media in support of a belief or event. There must be an equal amount of air time to something negating a belief or event. This law, in blatant terms, says if you put Christmas music on air, you must put anti Christmas music on air for an equal amount of time. Although we all know this would never happen, especially in Christmas hungry America. It still says something about our society. Everyone loves Christmas in America, and it won’t change until something drastic happens. Say, Santa Claus was caught money laundering. Again, impossible, Santa isn’t real. So it can’t happen. Citizens need to take a step back and look at the entire holiday spirit. This is a birthday, and on this birthday we listen to music that has nothing to do with this day months before, and after. We rush around stores thinking of characters of fiction, what we get and what we give. This isn’t necessarily wrong; it just can’t cloud the real spirit and reason for Christmas.
