Unhappy It's here....the Christmas music has arrived!
'Tis the season for the stores to start playing Christmas music!

Working in a retail store - one day into the Christmas music & it's already driving me nuts.

Only 46 more days until Christmas.

Bah humbug!

Ack...I used to work in retail and the Christmas music drove me nuts too...they don't even play good versions of the songs, do they.

Lots of luck in making it to the actual holiday. I do think they turn that stuff on waaaay to early now, but them our town has thier Santa Clause parade this coming weekend...

Last year around this time I was working in a store that constantly had Coldplay's viva la vida playing at least once every 45 minutes. Even when I was there for other reasons I heard that stupid song over and over. I've calculated it up to having heard it ~998 times over a 4 month period.
... so it could be worse, maybe.

Can't take Christmas music anymore. I am 57, I have heard Jingle Bells since I was in the womb! Enough already!

OMG - you folks haven't even had your Thanksgiving yet!

Our neighbour put his outdoor lights up this past weekend but they don't turn them on yet. We have to wait for the soffit and eavestroughing guy to do his thing for us before we can put up any lights.

I hate working retail. It sucks all the Christmas cheer right out of you. I worked at Hallmark for a while back in college and I hated putting out Christmas ornaments in July!

Seriously, I was in WalMart the day after Halloween and there was Christmas music playing. Ugh!

Ah...but I would've been happy with that - I love Viva la Vida! Waaaayyyy better than Christmas music!

Not that many times... I wouldn't want to hear any band or song that many times, no matter how much I loved them. Sometimes (ok, most of the time) people need some variety.

Any chance, that's if there's a disc these Christmas tunes are playing from over the PA, that you could sneak back there and flip it to Christmas song parodies?

While at the local WallyWorld last year I heard Jeff Foxworthy's Redneck 12 days of Christmas.
