What's this? KEZK isn't playing all Christmas music yet? Why, Christmas is just a mere, um, seven weeks away. Outside my window, I can see the seasonal indicators of, well, colorful leaves on trees. However, today's high temperature is predicted to be a Christmas-like, uh, 79 degrees. At the grocery store yesterday, a beverage commonly associated with Christmas had its own display. Well, not really. It was apple cider, not egg nog.
As much as I love most Christmas music, it's still firmly Autumn. Forty years ago, it was bold and unusual of KCFM 97.1 FM to start playing continuous Christmas music on December 1. Today, if at least one station isn't playing all Christmas music by mid November, it's surprising.
The Christmas music will start any day now, I'm sure. Until then, I'd like to savor what remains of the beautiful season of Fall.
