i listen to Christmas music and watch holiday movies all year round. It's my favorite time of year, even when i was working and didn't get to enjoy it as much as i use to. And, as Michael's not a huge fan of the music, i don't play it much at home during the holidays unless i have some alone time in the house. So, i don't get to hear it as much as i'd like when it's in season lol
But for some reason, i take great comfort in it. i think it's the memories from the wonderful Christmases i had growing up. Music, at home and at church, was always a big part of the holiday season and i just adored it. i still have all of the Christmas albums that i heard when growing up. i think my Christmas record collection is about 75 and growing now haha :)
When i get really depressed or worried, and i'm by myself, i'll watch a Christmas movie. i don't know why, but they always make me happy and that helps get me thru the rough patches. i remember when Mom's cancer came back, the day we were all at home waiting on the phone call from her doctor to see how bad it was, i was scared to death (this day began my stoic period that lasted about 6 years when i never cried) So i called my friend Blair who lived down the street and borrowed her copy of White Christmas to watch while we waited. i don't really know why i wanted to watch it, it was the middle of summer. But, it made me feel better and i'm glad i did.
Probably not as interesting as you'd hoped, but there you have it!
