gangsterfurious Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 It's that time of year again... I just had to sit through the original recording of "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus". The kid signing it sounds so creepy, his/her voice really doesn't settle well with me at all. Manheim Steamroller? Really? It's times like this I miss working in an operations based behind-the-scenes setting. But now that I work in a people-facing setting I've had to listen to Christmas Music. Don't get me wrong, I love the old classics. Silent Night, O Holy Night, old hymns like that. I just don't like that so far, I've been at work for 4.5 hours and the radio station has played like five different versions of "O Holy Night". I just find it all so redundant. Am I alone here or are there any other cranky Scrooges like me? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narps Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 My wife started her annual "Christmas music in the car routine" about a week ago. I just put it back to classic rock when given the opportunity. I would probably be considered a Scrooge for sure. If you can't wait for it all to end, I would think that would be the definition.... :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So instead of me being able to listen to Rush when I cook Christmas dinner (which ensures productivity and ultimate food flavors) I'm forced to butter and season my chicken with a twitching eye that cannot focus. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluefunk Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Humbug, I say! I've had to listen to Paul McCartney's 'Wonderful Christmas Time' and Shakin' Stevens' 'Merry Christmas Everyone' at least three times today! And no-one ever plays 'The Darkness' or 'The Pogues'.

workingcinderellaman Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 (edited) I like Christmas music but I get sick of it really fast if it's played before Thanksgiving or after Christmas. The song I feel has been overdone (It seems like everyone has a version of it on their Christmas album.) is "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire". It's not even that good of a song.

Narps Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Believe it or not this is a Christmas staple around my household. My advanced age probably has much to do with it.....

invisible airwave Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Here's some kickass Xmas songs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Y5GtaTrPHM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utj7MgslLOs Knowing the average music taste here of the few years I've been here I know many will agree with me on the 2nd one. :haz: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushCanuck Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I will be playing the Nutcracker Suite by Tchaikovsky and James Last Christmas dancing until Christmas is done. For anyone who doesn't know who James Last is, he's a German musician. His Christmas Dancing album has many German Christmas songs (done in his style). Good stuff!

Mara Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 WANT. :D Ex fiancee used to have a Christmas tie adorned with what appeared to be ornate and lovely script. Closer inspection revealed the lovely writing spelled out "Merry f***ing Christmas". He had - and still has - another tie with a cute little rosy-cheeked Santa on it, with the happy announcement, "Santa's Coming!"And indeed he is. Look closely, and St. Nick is smackin' the clown and blowing a load. Found some Christmas wrapping paper for you guys. :P http://picture-cdn.wheretoget.it/qy3tj9-l-610x610-nail-polish-wrapping-paper-merry-fucking-christmas-merry-christmas-wanker-bah-humbug--ho-bloody-ho-funny-jewels-wrapping-paper-christmas.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aikenrooster Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I think Christmas should be held every 4 years, like the Olympics, etc. Maybe I wouldn't be such a scrooge. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, I don't even know if that's the title.) duet that he does with David Bowie comes on. But that's because David Bowie is involved. I don't even know how I'd stay sane if Geddy decided to sign on a Hanukkah/Christmas album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
