    Christmas music is so awesome - love that Christmas spirit. My favorite holiday song is Elvis Presley's Blue Christmas. I had this playing last christmas and was singing along, drove right past my house, that's how good this song is to me haha :D

    Good to know that you were paying attention whilst driving ;) I feel safer already

    No one has taken this thread seriously. I'm disappointed. This was a scientific study.

    I saw it as a challenge and an opportunity to share our favourite Christmas music........

    If you have defined the holidays solely as a series of unpleasant "things [you] need to do" then sure, Christmas music will cause you stress.

    However, if you view the holidays as a time to have fun with friends and family, take a break from work, eat and drink tasty things, watch a lot of sports, enjoy watching your kids open presents, etc., then holiday music likely will remind you of the positive aspects of the holidays and make you happy.

    So if Christmas music stresses you out, maybe it is time to consider changing the way you celebrate the holidays.

    Hearing Michael Buble at any time makes me feel suicidal but when he warblers out Xmas bull I become a suicidal homicidal maniac. Cue the eye rolling and snorting.

    Interesting. They sing Christmas music at my church (go figure).

    Should I stop going?
