5. It has been so long since I had any Christmas spirit, I can scarcely remember what it feels like

Between the commercial sector turning a holiday into a profit grab, and the religious nut jobs griping the whole season about their perceived war on Christmas, I've pretty well lost interest in the whole affair. I don't go to Starbucks, because if I wanted a burned cup of coffee, I'd just make my own pot at home and leave it on the burner for a couple of hours. So I don't have any idea what they are playing. I haven't heard a lot of Christmas music this year, I suppose because I hardly ever leave the house anymore. A little Christmas music certainly goes a long way.

8. Decorated, too??

Heard a pop Christmas tune over the Wal-Mart PA the other day, and of course their Christmas merch was out by Halloween, but the store wasn't itself decorated yet.

12. what's wrong with playing Christmas music? It's wonderful.

[Raine]

14. Nothing really but I like my holidays one at a time 🙂

and I hate that Thanksgiving seems to get squeezed out. I'm good with Christmas music AFTER Thanksgiving.

I'm very pro-Christmas but it's too early.
