    I like Christmas music but listening to it for 2 months is a bit much for me.

    I don't like music being played in stores in general

    My problem is when you go into those 'trendy' stores and not only is the music deafening but it's usually some group I've never heard of and I'm like "WTF's this s-hit?"

    One of the radio stations here, each year starts playing Christmas music sooner each year. If I call recall, last year it was the week of Thanksgiving. Now, I like some Christmas songs and it puts you in the holiday mood, but dang after a week or two hearing the same songs over and over, Gah! They play it 24 hrs. A day too!

    I really hate Christmas music. A lot. But then, I kind of hate Christmas, so there's that. I'll bah humbug along with the rest of the grumps. And get off my lawn, ya hoodlums!!!

    I love Thanksgiving. You get a yummy meal and all sorts of family togetherness without all the rest of the stressful crap that comes with Christmas.

    These guys are complete badasses imo. This is my fav:

    Daft Punk - Pentatonix

    Aside from being mentally draining, we've been listening to the same crap for decades. Christmas music really is the worst ever.

    I agree so hard. And I’m no Scrooge but once when I was shopping and a god awful Xmas song came on, I had a dark moment where I imagined that the most evil thing a person could do to me is put me in a cell and play Xmas music over and over and over.

    Why would someone even dream of researching this??

    There's other music around all year which just sounds like noise, and IF you could even understand the lyrics, some of it is downright criminal.

    I love their 'Mary Did You Know.' They are amazing. I saw them in concert in August. They were performing John Lennon's 'Imagine' and and close to the end of the song a falling star or comet, not sure which, streaked across the sky. It was really bright. It only lasted a few seconds and was really close. I've never witnessed anything like it before. It felt to me like a divine message from God. IT WAS EPIC. The audience loved it. It couldn't have been more awesome. Of course, Pentatonix had no idea exactly what happened. I would've loved getting that on video!
    Eta: I love Christmas music. Oh Holy Night is my favorite.

    I'd have to say the british psychologist is bad for your mental health! Really? It is beautiful music of beautiful times and memories. If you don't like it simply don't listen to it. If I don't like something that is playing I turn the station, change stores, turn off the TV/radio/stereo/whatever device I have on and go on about my life.
