Christmas

Christmas music has wafted through the air since the Middle Ages, when monks decided that chanting about a baby in a manger needed a catchy tune to really capture the spirit of the season. Typically featuring bells, choirs, and an impressive abundance of jingle, it ranges from the heartwarming to the downright cheesy, often leaving you wondering why you suddenly feel an inexplicable urge to sing along in public. Notably, it's the only genre where every October, mall speakers transform into festive orchestras that make you question your sanity amidst the flurry of gift shopping.
