Scrooge

So here we are and Christmas will be here in just two days.  I love Christmas and many things that come with it.  I love the feeling of Christmas, the food, the friends and family, and of course the remembrance of Jesus' birth.  I would say that I am a relatively positive person when it comes to Christmas; however, I have been given the label "Scrooge" because I am not a fan of Christmas music.  I do not like it at all, not even a little bit.  I come from a background of being a drummer; therefore, I prefer my music have a distinct beat.  Don't get me wrong, Christmas music has a beat, it's just a very boring one.  I love hip-hop, rock, worship, and various other types of music.  I just have a problem with any music that doesn't have a groove to it of some sort.  This doesn't limit itself to just Christmas music.  I also dislike opera, many forms of Southern Gospel, blue grass, George Jones and Michael Buble'.  No one gets on me for not liking those, but because I don't like the sound of Christmas music people feel the need to call me a scrooge.  People can't seem to separate the fact that just because I don't like Christmas music doesn't mean that I don't like Christmas.  You have to admit that Christmas music is boring many times and I don't appreciate the fact that the radio stations play only that for 6 weeks prior to Christmas.  Even Christmas music lovers would tire of that consistency.  Well I am done being on my soapbox.  Just for the record, I am not a scrooge and I wish everyone a wonderful Christmas.
