Some people prefer chocolate. Some prefer vanilla. Some prefer strawberry. And some people prefer some other exotic flavor. If you ask people about their favorite flavor of ice cream, you’ll get some pretty decisive answers led light china. There’s not a lot of wishy-washiness when it comes to favorite ice cream flavors.
And similarly, there’s not a lot of wishy-washiness when it comes to this question: Is Christmas music only for Christmas? When answering that question, most people will fall into one of three categories:
Bah-Humbuggers. Did you know that there’s a small segment of the population that doesn’t like Christmas at all? (Gasp!) ‘Tis true, and I guess we all know what their answer to the question would be: No Christmas music at all, anytime or anywhere.
Seasonalists. (According to Merriam-Webster, we’ve just made up a word here LED street light purchaser. But let’s go with it; it seems to fit. And all words have to start somewhere, right?) A seasonalist loves Christmas, and loves Christmas music, but believes that each belongs in its clearly defined time of the year. And any Christmas ‘stuff’ that dares to venture beyond those calendrical boundaries is just simply out of place.
So if you’re a seasonalist, you might get all misty-eyed and gooey when you hear the immortal sweet strains of Silent Night – but only if it falls within your definition of the Christmas season. Anytime before and after, and the song might have more of a fingernails-against-chalkboard effect on you. It just doesn’t seem right.
Any-timers. This one’s obvious enough: Any-timers love them some Christmas music at any time of the year. December or July, 4 foot LED tube lights it’s all good. They’ll tell you that good music is good music – no matter when it’s played. And by they way (they might add), Christmas is the happiest time of the year. So what’s wrong with pepping-up other times of the year with some auditory seasoning borrowed from that most wonderful time of year?

Ryan Lochte keeps his clothes on, hosts at Azure Luxury Pool at Palazzo
This past weekend in Las Vegas saw the highs surpass 100 degrees, so it’s befuddling that Olympic swimming champion, heartthrob and reality TV star Ryan Lochte would keep his clothes on while hosting at Azure Luxury Pool on Saturday afternoon at Palazzo for the third consecutive season.
Lochte, who looked the part of a world-class athlete in a gray striped tank top and camouflage cargo shorts, however didn’t even take off his sunglasses for photographers on the red carpet or while frolicking interlining fabric with bikini-clad ladies and Perrier-Jouet Champagne at the luxe pool playground.
Maybe he’s grown tired of the teasing from past appearances here in a barely there white Speedo and an inexplicably flashy — and once again barely there — pink Speedo. If you’ve got it, flaunt it, no?
The 11-time Olympic medalist, who is training for the 2016 Summer Games in Rio, Kufner Interlining as he discussed on the arrivals carpet, took the weekend off to party at Azure with friends and fans. Lochte et al were treated to a cake adorned with a gold medal from the “Cake Boss” star Buddy Valastro’s Carlo’s Bakery at the Venetian-Palazzo.
The group partied through the late Saturday afternoon and mixed and mingled poolside to the beats of DJ Roman Rosati. The group enjoyed libations as well as cuisine from chef Wolfgang Puck’s Solaro.
“Azure Luxury Pool at Palazzo Las Vegas is my favorite place to hang out, especially in these gorgeous cabanas,” Lochte said. “It’s the perfect place to celebrate my friend’s bachelor party, which is what we are doing this weekend.”
On Friday night, the bachelor party group celebrated at Hyde Bellagio, where Angie Everhart and Shar Jackson also were spotted loving the nightlife. In past visits to Las Vegas, Lochte has partied at D Las Vegas, the Venetian, Tropicana and CityCenter.
