I'm driving home for Christmas


Or how the Christmas music literally drives you crazy.

In the beginning of the season, I think most of the people are rather pleased to hear a Christmas song. It reminds them of the upcoming holidays, lets us feel a little nostalgia for the good memories we associate with this time of the year (of course, it is scientifically proven that the brain represses unpleasant memories). Over the course of the couple of following weeks, one hears the songs so many times that you simply start to detest it. I mean, how long can you endure the same tune? Sure, if it were a great music, but even if it is, the same song over and over again just makes you want to punch something. There is a solution, and that solution is moderation. We can try not to actively search for these song and listen to them only if we have no other choice. That is whenever we are going to llok for the last minute presents for example.
This is another topic worth mentioning. how many times do we swear that the next year we'll buy something in advance? Why doesn't it work out (except for this minuscule precent that actually manages)?
