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?

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.... :)

Yeah, I forgot to mention that my husband loves to crank up the Christmas music on the computer when we are home. 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.

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'.

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.

Believe it or not this is a Christmas staple around my household. My advanced age probably has much to do with it..... Rock on Keith......... :haz: :D-13:

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!

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.

I despise most xmas music, but Bing Crosby is my JAM!!! haha

 

I do get very excited when the "Little Drummer Boy" (? 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.

I've had the truck stereo set on the Christmas music station since Saturday! Bring it on, I say! I love it!

Where can I get this wrapping paper?! I know people who will probably enjoy enough to justify the absurd price it probably carries.
