Christmas Music
One of the biggest indicators of the holidays approaching is the non-stop blaring of Mariah Carey’s music on every radio station.
It seems like the holiday season comes earlier and earlier every year, with Christmas music being played in stores as soon as November 1.
This can be frustrating or downright annoying for many people, because it takes away from their enjoyment of the fall season and rushes them into winter too soon.
On top of this, Christmas music is incredibly repetitive.
Due to there not being many popular holiday songs, the same few musicians and tunes are played over and over again.
By the time the holidays roll around, people are sick of the festive music they’ve been hearing for the past two months.
Frost and Ice
With colder temperatures comes more snow, sleet and slippery ice.
As fun as a snow day may be, the ice and frost that come with it are not.
Every year, as the winter months approach, more and more people wake up to frost covering their cars and ice slicking their driveways and roads.
Having to get up earlier to warm up the car and scrape the frost off the windshield are some of the most frustrating chores that plague snowy mornings for many students and teachers.
However, the ice isn’t just inconvenient for people; it can also be dangerous.
Icy roads are incredibly dangerous for drivers all over as they make their way to school or work every morning.
Flu Season
Runny noses and sore throats are some of the most frustrating symptoms for people of all ages.
However, as the weather drops, disease becomes common with the approach of the dreaded flu season.
Due to the cold, crisp, dry air, viruses like the flu are able to thrive and spread, infecting hundreds of people every year.
This can be especially frustrating for students and teachers who spend countless hours trapped inside schools, where they can easily become infected by others.
Whether its a stomach bug, the flu or just a common cold, being sick during the winter is dreadful. So scrub your hands, have tissues ready and have a happy, and hopefully healthy, holiday season!
