Good God. I work at McDonalds right now, and we HAVE to play Christmas music - we're not aloud to change it. It gets annoying with a variation of 25-ish songs...

As my attempt to brighten the season an provide a relief from the tedium of the same droning versions of "White Christmas," I present the following:

If i have to hear jingle bell rock one more time (it's only dec 2 by the way) I may be forced to hurt someone.....REALLY!

At work for the last two months that's all we've been listening to. I am still singing along. People giving me the look of death. Too bad, I am to happy around Christmas to let things get to me.

I avoid radio stations that go overboard so that I won't be overwhelmed when I get to restaurants or in stores that play so much of it. I like Christmas music.

Christmas music and I use the term music loosely, LOL, drives me nuts, especially when it begins the day after Thanksgiving! That's one reason I do most of my Christmas shopping online so I don't have to hear it.

As much as I like Christmas,yes, hearing the same songs over and over can drive one to kill.

As a classic rock and oldies fan, im with forgotten hero on this one. I would probably go nuts too if i had to listen to the same christmas music for a full workday. I was in Kmart not too long ago, and the christmas music on the Kmart radio network was awful and boring. Christmas music can be alright, but its gotta be stuff i can tolerate. I usually prefer to listen to christmas music by the Beach Boys, or Feliz Navidad by Jose Feliciano. I never knew what Feliz Navidad meant until i got older. I could of listened to that song all year.

If you think you've got it bad then think about the poor clerks at your local department store that has to listen to the same bunch of songs for an eight hour shift.

For the most part i really like Christmas music and play it often over the holidays. I suppose it would depend on what kind of music was playing. if I had to hear Christmas music operatic style. or choir music all day that would drive me around the bend. but carefully selected by favorite singers I would not mind at all.

Provided that the music is, in and of itself, tedious and annoying. Otherwise, the melancholy and recollection of early good times and of family gatherings that come with Christmas standards can be soothing.

It depends upon what kind of Christmas music it is.

While I'm not anti-Christmas by any stretch, am I the only one who gets annoyed at the constant chirpy X-Mas tunes blaring nearly everywhere the whole month? I esp feel for retail workers who must relentlessly endure this non-stop audio assault for five straight weeks. God help those employees who don't receive a decent holiday bonus or commission for such season beatings; listening to such tedium, in my view they've certainly earned it.
