Christmas Music is Bad For Your Health

Even though it's still early November, you've probably heard Christmas music already.  It's more or less impossible to avoid it.  But according to one psychologist, it's not getting you into the spirit . . . it's making you insane!

A woman named Linda Blair is a clinical psychologist in England.  And she says that listening to Christmas music too early in the season is bad for your mental health.

Why?  Because it's a reminder of all of the stressful stuff you have to do to get ready for the holidays.

In other words, when you hear "Holly Jolly Christmas", it reminds you that you have to buy gifts, organize parties, send out cards, get your travel arrangements set, cook, clean, prepare for political discussions with your family members, and everything else.

She also says it's REALLY bad for people who work at stores where they play Christmas music all day for two straight months, because the catchy melodies make it hard for them to focus on anything else.

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
