I like old timey christmas music. I'm not a christmas fanatic or anything, i don't even have a tree. Just something about the old timey songs hit right for me
Here is how old I am. We celebrated Thanksgiving and the next day stores were transformed into Christmas splendor.
A time for everything, everything in its time.
My neighbor put up decorations the day after Halloween, blasphemy I say!
I miss the old quiet Target, it was the last store I could wander around in blissful silence. They started that piped in music during that big remodel a couple years ago and I stopped shopping there. It was the end of the Target mojo.
I was in Target earlier today and can confirm this horror. To make matters worse it was Mariah bloody Carey’s ‘All I want for Xmas’…I turned around and walked out…Waaaay too soon for that sh…
Even when I worked in retail I loved listening to the actual Christmas songs. Not the knockoffs (I’m looking at you Office Depot), but actual Christmas songs.
For once I’d like Xmas song that’s realistic about how you and certain relatives don’t get on at all. And it’s just excuse to spend money on Linx Africa sets
Step 1) Dress as a Christmas Elf
Step 2) in an attempt to NOT draw attention to yourself begin singing all the Christmas songs out loud.
Step 3) I didn’t think we’d get this far? There’s nothing else that’s it.
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
It’s too early for the music!!! Several years ago we had a great rock/pop station, which is now defunct, that for some reason decided to play nothing but Christmas music 24/7 from Dec 1 - Jan 1. They promptly lost more than half their audience and never did it again.
If you think it's bad for the customers imagine how it feels for the staff, When I worked in retail the Christmas music was on a 60 minute loop and by Christmas eve most of us were ready to have a total breakdown
Ha. I worked retail a while. The music at my store wasn't locally controlled. Corporate flipped it one year on Veteran's Day. Manager said 'oh hell no!' and went out back and ripped out the speaker cables.
There ought to be a federal law that you can't celebrate one holiday before another one commences. Nordstrom has a sign outside their front doors declaring that's their practice. Yay, Nordie's!
knowing some1 working in a supermarket, this is unbearable since they're on a 1hr or so loop.
UNTIL some guys came up w effing hilarious new lyrics; caught them writing up lyrics in advance for this year
I worked at a dept store when I was 18 and it took me years actually close to a decade to be able to listen to Christmas music. I don’t know how the employees handle it since it starts weeks earlier now than it did then. I wanted to do violence I was so triggered.
Eh unfortunately the job was mostly going out and bringing carts back. I might have hung out in the general vicinity during a 15 minute break to figure out who it was.
Reminds me of FAO Schwartz in the 90s. They had that song that sounded like a knockoff of “It’s A Small World” and it was played on a constant loop. I wondered how the employees didn’t go insane.

what the hell, that's not a Christmas song, hands off it
Not two weeks after taking down the Halloween stuff, the house is fully festive.
Bah humbug
