I think you all know someone who is unusually interested in Christmas.
Christmas songs, Christmas movies, Christmas decorations, etc etc. Maybe you’ve seen them on TV. Maybe you suspect the guy down street is one just because he left his lights up for too dang long. Well I’m one of those people (not the kind that’s been on TV or podcasts – I’m really kind of just coming out of the closet here). So I decided that someone needed to come up with a name for our affliction, and so I submit to you – “Noelemia”.
“Noel” because it’s the French word for a Christmas Carol, but also used to refer to Christmas itself, and “emia” which usually refers to the presence of something in blood. So we’ve got a fever, caused by Christmas flowing through our body and the only way to cure it is with MORE JINGLE BELL.
My primary affliction is Musical Noelemia. I’m at least semi-obsessed with Christmas Carols, and already own or have listened to an amount that most people would consider excessive. So I decided I’d have a little fun and start a blog where I talk about it. At this point, I have no idea where this will lead, but as long as it stays fun, I’ll keep doing it. Perhaps at some point someone else will find it interesting..
