Huh? My friend had this weird experience at a New Jersey hotel
I’m not going to use the names of the people involved or the venue where this took place because I’m not trying to dox anyone, but I do feel like this was too funny a story to not share with you.
I had friends coming into New Jersey over the weekend for a St. Patrick’s Day party, and they made their accommodations in a hotel.
They were staying for two nights, coming in on Friday, Mar. 13, and leaving on Sunday, Mar. 15.
The morning after the first night, housekeeping came in to tidy up the room. In order to get out of the way of the workers, the two hung out for a bit in the hotel lobby.
After a small amount of time, they noticed something strange.
Despite it being March 14, Christmas music was echoing throughout the hotel lobby.

Christmas music in March?
It would be one thing if it were mid-summer and they were celebrating Christmas in July, but that wasn’t the case here.
And it wasn’t just one instrumental song that played as a glitch… I’m telling you it was a full Christmas playlist, and it went on the entire time they sat there.
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, The Christmas Song, White Christmas, Auld Lang Syne, just to name a few.
Basically, if you’ve heard it while placing an ornament on a Christmas tree branch, they heard it in this hotel lobby in the middle of March.
No one else seemed to be concerned or put off by the music of choice.
I guess I’ll chalk it up to a new tradition that I wasn’t aware of. Happy Christmas in March, everyone!
