Christmas Is In The Air

On more than one occasion this holiday season, I have been in a store...shopping.  On more than one occasion, I have heard Christmas songs being played throughout the store...typical for this time of year.  On more than one occasion, I've caught someone bust out the lyrics to the latest Christmas song currently being played over the store speakers...And I'm not talking about a little hum to one's self...

...I'm talking about a straight up bust out the lyrics like you're auditioning to be the next American Idol...and it cracks me up!

I'm not going to lie, I probably have done it once or twice too (and made someone's day with my amazing singing voice, no doubt!), but it is just so funny to be perusing the store aisles, shelves, racks, etc. and have a complete stranger, no more than four or five steps away from you, start singing!  The best songs are the ones with the lively beats: Wonderful Christmastime, Last Christmas, Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree, All I Want For Christmas is You (the Mariah Carey version), Feliz Navidad, Grandmaw Got Run Over By A Reindeer (this song must be accompanied by a leg slap and knee lift...repeated three times), Jingle Bell Rock, etc; you get the point.

Slower Christmas songs are sometimes just as funny because said singing person truly believes that they sound like the musical artist presently being broadcasted!  Sometimes you can stretch some awful hilarious notes out of your vocal cords that are not normally used outside of the shower.

This is just one of the joys of the Christmas season that makes me smile!  You can tell that we are definitely getting close to Christmas!

Christmas [music] is literally in the air!
