This is my gripe with the current commercialized Christmas season. Not for religious reasons or anything, but I never felt Christmassy until I was actually on vacation from school or off work, usually a couple days before Christmas. That's when I'd want to spend time with family, listen to music, and all that.
But nope, at December 26 at midnight all the radio stations that have been blaring holiday music since mid November go back to pop music. And the commercial calendar pushes New Year's Eve on us immediately.
I would love to see that shift back to celebrating a big holiday break.

Protestant vs. Catholic work ethic.
Protestant: Worry and prepare for Christmas and once it done, phew! It's finished, put the decorations in the box.
Catholic: Christmas is here! Let's get drunk for the next.. 2 months!

In Québec we play a lot of traditional music between Christmas Day and New Year which prolongs the festive ambiance.

On a tangential note, the tiktok translating le ziguezon to English is some of the funniest shit I've ever seen, ngl.

Hahaa yeah I saw that. It doesn’t really make more sense in French to be honest.

Yeah it's weird how the 'festival' of Christmas has somehow been reversed.

It's no longer profitable to advertise Christmas after Christmas. They gotta make that quick switch to New Years before it's too late.

Guilty on the mid-November, but I scheduled our station's Christmas clocks out to December 31.

We always celebrated mass on Jesus Christos Mass.
