“Then I should definitely not be your first choice. I will wail some Mariah on karaoke night at Open Season.”

Oh, I guess you wouldn’t be the best choice. I just wanted to make sure I’m not being inconsiderate of other people.”

“Wait until December at least? Seriously if one starts they all start, and then I have to get someone else to do my shopping for me because I can’t stand it. Even Mariah needs to wait. I also don’t want to have to start putting up christmas decorations up in the B and B yet.”

“How about I gradually adjust to the holidays? I’ll spend this week getting the  decorations and the playlist ready and it’ll go into full effect on the Friday after Thanksgiving. I don’t want to pressure the other businesses into this and it’ll give me extra time to make snowflakes.”

“I’m pretty sure you’ve had Mariah on repeat on your iPod for the last month, whether it was Christmas music or not.”

“True, but I still wanted input from someone unbiased.”

“I think you should, just to get the spirit of it. Mariah is a great choice.”

“The spirit of the holidays never left me, but I just wanted to make sure nobody is bothered by it like other people are about the Starbucks cup.”

“Ice cream knows no boundary. Personally, I think the cold weather makes the ice cream taste better. I still manage to get customers even when it’s below freezing outside, ”

“Anyone who has every lived anywhere tropical.” 

“Well, the weather has been unusually warm this year just saying.”

“Oh, for the love of god. Why must you be one of those people, Audi?” Alexa snorted.

“Because it’s almost time for the comeback of the peppermint favor. Who doesn’t love the winter?”

“Christmas music is immediately appropriate once Halloween ends. Obviously.”

“Thank you! I tried explaining it to someone today and they told me to remember Thanksgiving, but come on-the winter holidays are ranked higher than Thanksgiving.”
