Ok, I love christmas time. But for crying out loud... 2 weeks BEFORE THANKSGIVING they go to 100% Christmas music on one of the local radio stations? <br /><br />And now to quote JB...<br /><br />

Home Depot is now all-Christmas-music-all-the-time. Good thing you don't work there.

The station that plays xmas music here started November 1. Full time xmas music. :rolleyes: <br /><br />They wouldn't do it if it didn't get good ratings...I'm sure you've all seen how quickly a station disappears when it becomes unprofitable.

I work there and we do not have Christmas music YET.<br />I don't mind Christmas carols though.

Re: Ahhhhhhhhrgggghhhhh....

Sean I have a rule in my home simple rule.... There is NO mention of the "C" holiday or shopping for it until Thanksgiving. The nerve of the major retailers trying to distract us from food and football!! :mad: <br /><br />It's funny but I raised my son that way and the rule applies at his place too!<br /><br />Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!<br /><br /> :D

I'll enjoy the spirit as soon as Thanksgiving is done.....then Christmas decorations can begin, but NOT until after that.

I decorate for Christ mas Dec. 15th, and do christmas shopping Christmas week. MY family has done it this way forever. I realy get miffed over all this stuff. Seems we have forgot the meaning of Christmas. Its all money and sales.I for one am not going to refer to it as the winter festive season. lwr

Re: Ahhhhhhhhrgggghhhhh....

Sort of like eating turkey , three meals a day, for a month before Thanksgiving. Really dilutes the joy for me. By the time it gets here I am sooooo glad it is over.<br /><br />People have been having festivals to celebrate the end of the year/beginning of winter, Hannuka (sp?), Christmas, etc. for at least 5,000 years.<br /><br />This orgy of marketing and promotion for a month and more before Christmas has nothing to do with what Christmas is about to me. It is an annoyance.

EE - I'm right there with you on the early Christmas insanity...'round here some places had up Christmas stuff along with the Halloween candy...<br /><br />BUT - Now that it's actually Thanksgiving, and we normal-type (semi-normal?) can start playing Christmas music with a clear conscience, well, here's one to start off the season:<br /><br /> http://www.nonstick.com/sounds/Seymour_Swine_and_the_Squealers_-_Blue_Christmas.mp3 <br /><br />Turn It UP!<br /><br />(I like it better than Elvis' versoin)

Re: Ahhhhhhhhrgggghhhhh....

I was volunteering at our shop turkey feed yesterday and one of the wives said we should have been playing Christmas music. I looked at her funny, and said no, this is the day before Thanksgiving!!! <br />I'm with you EE. I don't mind the Christmas music starting tomorrow, but not last week!!<br /><br />AK Chappy

I'm with you 100% Sean...<br />It starts earlier and earlier each year!<br />I'm pretty much fed up with it. Not going to buy anything between now and Christmas. Some things should not be messed with! :)

Try working in a retail setting for over 35 years and see how much you like Christmas. :mad: :mad: <br /><br />I enjoy seeing my family open gifts but I'm pretty well burned out on the "joy" of Christmas by December 5th. Oh yeh, and work on Christmas day for 7 years straight.
