Here's an update to our family Christmas music policy:
No member of the Iverson family shall sing Christmas music or play Christmas albums until the day after Thanksgiving. Playing Christmas music on the piano is acceptable after Halloween, but NO SINGING ALONG! The space between Halloween and Thanksgiving is STRICTLY reserved for practicing accompaniments. The new Christmas album of the year may be played after the Nov. 14th wedding anniversary (traditional time to by the new album of the year), but no other albums until Thanksgiving!
Amendment: If it snows before Halloween, disregard the above policy. Do whatever is necessary to maintain a bright outlook about the early appearance of winter!
We take our family policies pretty seriously around here.
