Vox Pop: Students divided on listening to holiday music now

Is it too early to start listening to holiday music?  We asked that age old question to students passing by in the Marano Campus Center.  Once Halloween passed you probably found yourself hearing a song here and there on the radio that wasn’t just Drake’s “Hotline Bling”.  Will you escape the vortex of holiday music?  Or will you embrace it?

Finance major, Chris Evans thinks it’s just a tad bit early to be spreading holiday cheer, since after all it isn’t even Thanksgiving.

“Yeah [it is too early] because It’s not even Thanksgiving yet and Thanksgiving is when I put up my Christmas tree,” Evans said.

Sophomore’s Marianela Quero and Leah Lannone had opposing views on subject.

Quero think it’s completely acceptable to jam out to the music all year round.

“I listen to it in June when I’m cleaning and I just want to put the station on Pandora,” Quero says.

Lannone stands by the notion that it’s a bit too early and listening to the music now may lead to what I like to call ‘Christmas burnout’.

“Thanksgiving has not even happened yet!  I like to trick my brain into thinking it’s not yet Christmas so when Christmas is here you don’t have that build up waiting for it,” Lannone said.

Setting the tone for the upcoming holiday season, was Oswego State Lakers men’s ice hockey Captain Christopher Raguseo, who believes that once Halloween comes to an end, holiday music is where it’s at.

“As soon as Halloween’s over, let the holiday music come, it’s the best time of year,” said Raguseo.
