Christmas Music

[Jazzy]

Well, my local radio station started playing Christmas music on Thanksgiving. I mean, isn't this a little early to start? It annoys me to no end. Does it annoy you too?

 

[DrLeftover]

At least they waited until then to start inflicting it on everybody.

Don't listen to the radio! It is evil!

Actually, holiday songs are easy enough to avoid on the radio... in shops on the other hand...

 

[Raven]

I'd rather scratch my own ears off!

 

[Raven]

Don't listen to the radio! It is evil!

Actually, holiday songs are easy enough to avoid on the radio... in shops on the other hand...

Or in an office where everyone sings them, just to annoy others like me who HATE them. And hate Christmas!

I think this is one of the best Christmas Songs I heard this year.

... .. .... what?

 

[Evil Eye]

... .. .... what?

Are you sure it's a Christmas song?

 

[McConnaughay]

I am listening to Dragula by Rob Zombie, ... I thought that would add something to the conversation.

 

[DrLeftover]

Either of the last two songs mentioned, by Messrs Seger and Zombie are as AS MUCH a Christmas Song as the majority of those played on either commercial radio or over the canned music in retail stores.



Face it, most of them are winter songs (Winter Wonderland, Jingle Bells, Frosty...) or celebrate some pagan aspect of the holiday.



And most santa songs have very little to do with the Birth of Christ and everything to do with greed, such as the Chipmunk song.

 

[Evil Eye]

But isn't that what the holiday is all about these days?

 

[DrLeftover]

Thank you for so neatly stating my point.

 

[DrLeftover]

Yeah, I love Christmas Music.

Some of the best pop music going was Christmas Music.



Case in point:

You know it's a Christmas Song when the crowd sings it to the artist.

[DrLeftover]

Maybe this one isn't really a Christmas song.

What say you?

What say you?

Can't say I'd mind it as a Christmas song.
