My heart!! 💔 These two are so stinkin’ cute and obnoxious and dumb about feelings. 🤣

I force myself, or at least attempt, to take Advent slowly, but I definitely start playing Christmas music right after Thanksgiving.

Surely they have a friend who’s enough of a troll to leave a copy of “Confessing Your Feelings For Dummies” lying around, right? This shouldn’t be so hard. 😆

I’m glad I’m not the only person who starts the music early!

KISS ALREADY. But for real, we're starting off strong with the feelings. I'm 100% invested! I'm also someone who plays Christmas music after Thanksgiving. But my playlist begins with the Nutcracker, especially because one of my new traditions is being a part of the ballet.

Yesss! And that's a great tradition! I'm hoping to take my 6 year old to see it for the first time this year.

Awwww! The softie in me wants them to just get together and be happy why don't you, but people are complicated, right, and l am very much invested in this story, is what I'm saying.

I don't actually care when Christmas "starts" but I will get bored with Christmas music. This has become a major issue in our family.

I have never heard of 8tracks.

I can see how that’s an issue!

8tracks is/was a site that only hosts user-made playlists. Back in Ye Day it was big for fanmixes and fanfic playlists, since it would keep your songs in order, you could customize your tags and add notes on each song, and cover images were very visible. Their biggest problem was the age-old issue of actually turning a profit off streaming music. Apparently they were only actually “down” for a few months before being relaunched by the new owner, but I missed that part due to having fallen out of the loop.
