Yikes! Christmas music 24-7 now

[LePaul]

Well apparently based on listener requests, a few local radio stations have kicked off "All Christmas Music" from now til New Years.

Now look, I like the holiday music like anyone else.  I especially like the Manheim Steamroller versions.

But 24/7 for 38 days?  Eh gad.

Now I really wish I had satellite radio at the office!

i HATE anything that has to do with xmas before december 1. I remember when shops and whatnot didnt have a single xmas item on display before december. Now they seem to start in october/beginning of november.

Please, I was up at 3:30 so I could be to work at 4:30 (need my coffee and time to get energy drinks).  Open at 5AM.  Honestly, who goes to Linens 'N' Things at 5 in the morning?  Don't people have anything better to do or at least somewhere better to shop?  Christmas music for us consists of the same 20-30 songs sung by pop or easy listening bands.  It's delightful:rolleyes:

Oh and I think we had Christmas stuff on the sales floor in the middle of September.

We've got a silly station like that coming out of Portland.  Started listening the day before Thanksgiving, and I'll continue until Christmas!

Was a pretty sore issue here some time ago when FDR moved our Thanksgiving holiday up a week to extend the Christmas shopping season longer to jumpstart the economy. Was watching this story the other day on the History channel and one shop keeper said sarcastically "better do your Christmas shopping today, who knows, Christmas might be tomorrow".

KVIL started doing that a couple years ago. What a beating! It's 85 in the shade and they are playing Winter Wonderland.

A station here is playing Christmas music 24/7, started on the evening of the 21st. Im going to be burnt out on it before too much longer.


I can only take so much from the 10,000 variations of "Frosty the Snowman" or "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer"


Makes me want to buy a sausage laiden pizza and drown my sorrows in it

Guys, you CAN turn the radio off or switch stations. That's what the rest of those little buttons are for.

Not if that's what is playing on the work radio.

Unfortunately for me, the rest of the stations that my radio can get is nothing but garbage music.  (I only have a radio with an antenna, cant get much inside the house)

You work in a grocery store right? Your taste in music was killed long ago by the continuous elevator music.
