    When I managed a store I was able to modify our piped in music. I would do all Christmas for Thanksgiving weekend, the go to 25% for a week, 50% the next, etc and only the last 10 days or so were 100% Christmas. I still dislike Christmas music so I play alternative to the standards. I have a Christmas CD by Jethro Tull, Jimmy Buffet, Lorena McKennitt, and a couple of the "Very Special Christmas" CD's. You don't hear any of those on the radio.

    Ok I must live under a rock - I have never heard of this Christmas Shoes song - and honestly I do love a lot of Christmas music (except for the one I say is the worst above - which I can't even type because I know it will be stuck in my head) but I do have to say I hate hearing it early - I just started listening to it this week to get in the mood (just not feeling Christmas this year for some reason). So now my thing is - do I try to find this song and hear how awful it is, or do I just avoid it? I hadn't heard the I want a hippopotamus for Christmas song before this year either - that one wasn't bad - not great but not bad.

    ^ Do NOT listen to it. You WILL be sorry.

    There really needs to be an all classical/instrumental/Celtic Christmas music station somewhere.

    Nope.
    Work has played the same mix for the last six months (as long as I've been there). The switch after Thanksgiving to Christmas music is welcome. Even if some of the songs are among the worst renditions I have ever heard, the change from the regular tape is refreshing!

    I'll say it--24/7 Christmas "music" (in quotes, it is NOT music according to my ears) is the DEBILLLLLL! That's right, come at me, haters!

    Mariah Carey, used to be hot. That image of her, during that time, makes me smile.

    I FOUND THE HIDDEN VOLUME SWITCH FOR THE INTERCOM IN THE OFFICE!!!!!!! You now have to strain if you want to hear "Last Christmas I gave you my heart.....this year I'm gonna give it to someone special" (I dunno, she sounds either wishy-washy or pretty easy)

    I'm glad you found the volume, haha.
    I like Christmas music BUT I am not subjected to it all day.
    Last year I was, and I remember the rage well.
    I understand!

    Mulled wines (BBC R1 parody of blurred lines from last year) is pretty good. Don't like 'serious' Christmas songs though
