I don’t start until after Thanksgiving is over, and I end on midnight of Christmas day.

Christmas music listening does not start until the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. That's always my first Christmas gig. It ends the 26th.

I've had years where we spent August-November preparing 50ish Christmas gigs. As long as it stays in rehearsal (and at-home practice) i can stand it. If it breaks containment, may crab god have mercy on whoever did it.

I still can't listen to Jingle Bell Rock because this one dingleberry decided to prank me with it for a year.
