Dear Hipster:
I like to play my Christmas-themed Pandora station every six weeks or so, even if it isn’t Christmastime. I think it’s funny to listen to Burl Ives in July. My friends don’t agree. They roll their eyes and beg for silence. I think they’re wrong. Tell me, is ironically listening to Christmas music in the spring or summer acceptable?
— Iain, North Park
I won’t be the one who stops you from getting your summertime holly-jollies on. No, sir. But, I’m guessing you just plain love Christmas music. Why couch that behind a veil of irony? A better strategy would be telling your friends it’s winter in Australia, a land so irreverent that they use surfing Santas to sell ham! Srsly! Also, this lays the groundwork for that Christmas party you’re going to throw this summer on the beach. I’m invited, right?
