In our area (southern California), they started putting up Christmas decorations BEFORE Thanksgiving...even the Salvation Army "Bell Ringers" were outside the Post Offices at least a week before Thanksgiving...There are a few homes in my neighborhood that have front yard displays so big and bright, they can probably be seen from the Space Station. :omg: Steve

There are a couple of big industrial complexes on the drive home, one that makes zinc, and the other makes concrete, I think. My kids see those lights sometimes and think they are a house decorated for Xmas. Christian I have drunk the cool-aid and found it wan and bitter. - Chris Maunder

At the risk of sounding grinch-ish, I am beginning my usual descent into fear of public places that play non-stop Christmas carols. I was out for brunch yesterday and was going loopy after about 20 minutes. Whenever I'm close to snapping, "come, they told him, pa rum pa pa pum" kicks in, without fail. I fear for my sanity. It's only the 8th. :~ Bianca Wylie
At least you have some sanity to worry about :rolleyes: Elaine (manic giggling fluffy tigress) The tigress is here :-D

As do I, although I have learned to dismiss it. Have you gotten to that point yet? At first however it drove me crazy. :sigh: Signature under construction.

It depends on how busy it has been, if I have been really busy I can easily dismiss it, but if its a little slow it will drive me nuts.

I see, yeah the same goes for me, the more people asking for stuff, the easier to dismiss the music. Signature under construction.

I thoroughly love Christmas. It is the only time we can torture the sour-pusses of the world with good cheer and merriment.:laugh:

I hear ya. <scrooge-mode>They ought to ban x-mas!</scrooge-mode> Seriously though, I hate the stress that fills the air this time of year. It's got a grip of me right now. I haven't bought any presents yet, and I wonder how much longer I can procrastinate. :sigh: -- I'm your turbo lover. Better run for cover![^]

It's not being a sour-puss at all. It's being sensitive to terrible terrible music. Christmas is lovely. Multiple renditions of The Little Drummer Boy on a daily basis are not. ;P rum pa pum pum, rum pa pum pum, rum pa pum. Something about grown people singing that chorus really does me in. Bianca Wylie

I think that the renditions and styles of Christmas music they pick are tasteless and sometimes annoying, but IMO it's better than what they have the rest of the year, so I don't complain. ;)
