Chrisgiving Music

I've never been an advocate for Christmas music before Thanksgiving. In fact I've been a pretty big advocate against.

I feel as though Thanksgiving gets overshadowed. I feel as though we don't give it its fair justice. I mean Thanksgiving is a pretty great holiday. Any holiday that involves the 3 great F's (Family, Football, and Food) is awesome in my book!

So like I said, I never listen to Christmas music before Thanksgiving.

But, today I bought Alex Boye's Christmas CD!!

Today I listened to Christmas music before Thanksgiving! (Don't tell Christopher)

But I also came up with a nice thought. At Thanksgiving we are reminded of all that we have to be grateful for. And then comes Christmas where we give to others. It's like the hymn Because I Have Been Given Much. Because I have so much I can give to others. Thanksgiving and Christmas are so interrelated. So maybe I'll just call it ChrisGiving music.

But maybe I just made this connection so I wouldn't feel as guilty for listening to Christmas music before November 26th this year.

If you don't know who Alex Boye is you should be ashamed. He is only the coolest black motab member ever. He's so awesome! And I freakin' love him. I heard him perform tonight at the BYU bookstore. He is so funny. And he has one heck of a voice!
