Christmas Carols

Seems I am not the only one

So now that Halloween is over, but Thanksgiving is not yet here, it is time for Christmas music to start playing EVERYWHERE YOU GO. Not so sure about it starting to look a lot like Christmas but it will start sounding like it quickly enough.

Having worked retail almost all my life, I have dealt with Christmas music quite a bit and each year it only annoys me more. I know it is supposed to put you in the mood for the Holiday but after hearing Frosty The Snowman or Alvin and the Chipmunks sing for the billionth time you grow a little tired of it. While my dislike and/or hatred of some songs is greater then others but overall I pretty much shun them all.

I do have a list of "Christmas/Holiday" songs on my IPOD but they are not songs you are likely to hear in stores or eating places. If the songs were only one month, maybe I could deal but it starts at the latest in November, sometimes earlier, and goes on till February in some cases. It drive you mad and I don't see how anyone still enjoys it, maybe if you never shop in stores or don't leave your house or turn on a radio for the three months I am talking about, you may avoid it.

But most people don't have that luxury and so it slowly drive you mad as Rudolph is over and over denied the ability to play in Reindeer games and you MUST have a Holly Jolly Christmas and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Bah Humbug I say to that!
