I've tried and tried to listen to Christmas music, and I just can't get into it. I have no idea why.
I'm usually one of those annoying people who plays it constantly from Thanksgiving to Christmas. But for some reason I just can't enjoy it this year.

What the heck is wrong with me?!?!

You are going to have to force yourself to do it. We have been listening to it non stop at work! I love it!

ENGLAND... LAND OF HOPE AND GLORY!
Come on Heidi, after 3!!!. 1...2...3...


Rockin' around the Christmas tree
at the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Every couple tries to stop.

Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Let the Christmas spirit ring - (bop shoo wah-dee-wah)
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie
and we'll do some caroling! (do some caroling!)

You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear (ooh...)
voices singing, "Let's be jolly
Deck the halls with boughs of holly!"

Rockin' around the Christmas tree
have a Happy Holiday. (bop shoo wah-dee-wah)
Everyone dancing merrily,
in the new old-fashioned way!

Oooh...

In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind makes moan.
Earth stands hard as iron, water like a stone.
Snow has fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow.
In the bleak midwinter, it is ever so.

Darkness now surrounds us as the nights grow long,
Yet we fill the night time with our hopeful song.
Winter’s cold won’t reach us here, where we light our fire,
As we burn the old year on its funeral pyre.

Now the new year beckons, even in this night.
Soon the days will lengthen, and our hearts grow light.
Hope will grow within us as we look ahead,
And we see that spring wakes out of winter’s bed.

Light will follow darkness, as the earth turns round,
Sunlight follows moonlight, thawing frozen ground.
So our lives renew with every dawning day,
And with every new year, blue skies follow gray.


(In the Bleak Midwinter, first verse by Christina Rosetti, slightly altered, additional verses by Laura Deal Raeder. Tune: "In the Bleak Midwinter" by Gustav Holst)

Try switching to Hanukkah songs

Maybe you just need a new set of tunes:

Dreidel Dreidel Dreidel
I made you out of clay
and when you're dry and ready
Then Dreidel I shall play!

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air.

What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet
That's the jingle bell,
That's the jingle bell,
That's the jingle bell rock.
