I have a confession to make. The date is September 27th and I am listening to Christmas music. I have always been one of those people who lives by the rule that Christmas music is only to be enjoyed during the Christmas Season, which does not begin until Thanksgiving and ends on New Year's Day. In fact I had a college roommate who loved to listen to Christmas music all year long and it bothered me so much I took all her Christmas music and hid it until Thanksgiving. (Or did I take it after Christmas and give it back while we were moving out? I don't remember now)
I have actually been listening to this CD all year long since last Christmas. At first I justified it because I ordered shortly before Christmas last year and due to the blizzards in Denver I didn't receive it until after the holidays. Then I heard one of the songs on the radio in February or March and I thought, "Well if they can play it now then I can listen to my CD." Then tonight I tried to justify it by telling myself that there were none of the traditional Christmas songs on the CD but that is only half true. Then I moved to the fact that I am studying Matthew for BSF and we have been studying Matthew 1 and 2 so that reminds me of Christmas. But the truth of it is that I love this CD and I wanted to listen to it even though it isn't Thanksgiving yet. (For those who "need" to know it is "Do You See What I See?" by Todd Angew.)
And I have to say that I have been humored as I wrote this that I am trying to justify breaking rules that exist only in my head. And none of you would ever know about any of this except that I am bothering to tell you.

I would know the part about the college roommate. And I don't remember when you took the CDs...I just remember being on your side in that discussion.
New rule: If you listen to Christmas music in the privacy of your own listening space, it's still okay. (Okay, I just realized...what does it say about ME that I have to make new rules to replace the ignored rules?)
I remember the discussion on when it was okay to play the Chrismtas music... I'm a whenever you want to listen to it go for it gal. Probably was then too, but I think I deferred to the popular opinion and just used my headphones. :) Must not have been my CDs that you hide.
No Sabrina, the CD's were not yours. They were in fact Rachel Gesch's. Of course there were other reasons they were hidden, boy's choirs still creap me out. Nor were they the only thing hidden from the owner within the walls of Delta 11.
