Listening to Christmas music is bad for your health

November has just begun and I have already taken my gloves and thick wool scarf out from under the dust. I don't like the cold, but I do find the prospect of December very cozy. Fireplace, candlelight, lovely evenings and the Christmas days: sounds quaint, but I love it. Still, I want to talk to you about that last part. I don't know how it is for you, but I have already heard the first Mariah Carey of the season coming from the speakers. Not to mention Chris Rea. Favorite, but not for everyone. Can't you wait until the craziness is over? Then I have good news for you. The most wonderful time of the year apparently isn't so good for you at all. At least, the weeks leading up to Christmas . According to Linda Blair, a British psychologist, Christmas music can have a negative effect on the brain. According to her, the jingle bells only serve as a distraction and take you out of your concentration. Very cozy, but therefore anything but handy if you are typing away at your laptop while singing.

Not only at work should you better switch to another station: ‘People who work in a store during the Christmas period should postpone Christmas music for as long as possible, because if they don't, they will not succeed in concentrating on anything else. After all, you spend all your energy trying not to listen to what you hear,’ says Blair. Although it is probably no surprise that it must be hell to listen to angelic singing for weeks before the holidays even begin, it actually works for the retailer. Scent and music ensure that you can't wait for the warm days with family and friends. Healthy or not, for me we can start, you know. DJ Elkeholic, bring it on... It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
