Dolly Parton just can't get enough of Christmas. I'm sure we can all relate to that in some form or fashion. There's nothing like a Christmas tree and some strung up lights to raise the ol' serotonin levels this time of year. The Christmas music this time of year also helps, though I hope you didn't start listening to it a little too early. There are studies that show firing up the Holiday Playlist too soon can actually have negative effects on your mental health. But I've lived my life so far by a simple mantra, and that's whatever Dolly Parton says goes. It's never led me astray, and now that I've heard about how the 78-year-old country music legend views the holiday season, it only makes the "WWDD?" guideline for life that much better. Parton recently revealed in an interview with People that she values nothing more than being home for Christmas: “I love being home for Christmas, and so far I’ve missed all kinds of holidays, but to my knowledge I have never not been home for Christmas. (I love) the tradition of being home for Christmas, and being with family, and having all the good food and all the different dishes that different family members make, and just the music, and just all the festivities of the lights and the sounds, and everything to do with Christmas.” Love that. Same here Dolly. That statement above is mutually agreeable, is it not? There's nothing like going back home for the holidays, eating food, and spending time with friends and family. Christmas is simply the best. The only thing I have a bit of an issue with is just how much Christmas music Dolly says she consumes. In that same interview with People, Dolly was talking about all of the things she adores about Christmas, including the variety of Christmas songs that we've all come to know and love: "Well, you know I love all the Christmas songs. I love the fast ones, I love the slow ones. I love ‘Silent Night’ and ‘O Little Town of Bethlehem,’ but then I love ‘Rudolph’ and all of those fun things. I just love all of that.”  Nothing wrong with that. Every good Christmas playlist has a juxtaposition of slow songs like "O Holy Night" and faster songs like "Last Christmas" by Wham! But its the next part that Dolly Parton said that I'm not so sure how to feel about. It has to do with the duration that the country music star usually has the holiday music playing: “We all have either an Alexa or Siri or one of those kinds of things. I just always holler out, ‘Alexa, play holiday music for 12 hours in my house,’ or something like that, and I just like all of it.” 12 hours? Sheesh. I don't know if there's actually that many different Christmas songs in existence. Sure, you could hear "Let It Be Christmas" by Alan Jackson, then hear it again by another artist in the next hour. But I'd like to think that you could only hear the "12 Days of Christmas" so many times before you start shouting, "ALRIGHT WE GET IT." All that being said, if it makes Dolly Parton happy, maybe there's something to it. As I stated earlier, asking myself, "What Would Dolly Do?" is typically a great guardrail for going about life... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvK1F6bUrzU&pp=ygUpaGFyZCBjYW5keSBjaHJpc3RtYXMgc29uZyBieSBkb2xseSBwYXJ0b24%3D
