      I do not think they will wait to December, but they will not bring her out in full force until after Thanksgiving. Then she will be EVERYWHERE.

      • Every radio station,
      • every shopping center,
      • every grocery store,
      • parks with lit fir trees will have speakers screaming out “All I want for Christmas is you, baby (Ah, oh, ah, oh)”

      You walk into Walgreens to pick up flu medicine, and pass by ornaments like these

      You’d rather hear the Whos in Whoville singing "Fah-who foris, dah-who doris, welcome Christmas, bring your light. " than this!

    In the 1990s, I worked at a video arcade. We had a VHS tape on a loop that we would get updated by mail once a month. It had a selection of music videos, cartoons, and other short things that no one ever paid attention to. That song was on the tape the December it came out. Because I worked a 40 hour week and we had the tape for a month and I had to hear the song once an hour, I heard it for a total of 160 times that month.

    I hate that song and Mariah Carey.

    You know why all Christmas music was written in the 50s or earlier? Cuz anything newer just feels like cash grabs and pandering.

      I am really getting sick of Christmas shit being displayed and pushed in October. Quit ruining Halloween. Save that shit for Thanksgiving at least that closer to it.

      For one I say Fuck Christmas and will not celebrate it. It all capitalism bullshit only reason they keep starting so early. Soon as fall hits they start right off with the Christmas shit because I guess Halloween doesn’t have the financial draw for retail as Christmas.

        Halloween is way too soon for Christmas anything and I refuse to partake in anything Christmas until about Thanksgiving.

        I hate Christmas from the business perspective too. It’s almost all a cash grab and it’s all so fucking hollow and shallow feeling.

        I like a quiet Christmas experience. Every Christmas movie basically has the same moral. It’s the people and the time spent with them, and I try to focus on that instead of all the corporate chaos. I like the religious aspect of it too, because Jesus isn’t trying to sell me anything.

    Oh she’s defrosted alright. My company sent the memo to start playing the Xmas playlist starting today, for 50% of tracks. Then December up to 100%. I’m happy I’m WFH and can listen to whatever I like.

    We need the holiday music draft. I’ll take ALL your Mariah songs if you just take my “Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time” by Wings. I adore McCartney, saw him in concert. I hate this song.

    Costco doesn’t play any music which makes it freaking awesome during holiday times
