What's Normal? - Do you purposely listen to Christmas/Holiday music? (1 Viewer)

I'm headed off to a Christmas music concert. Not willingly.

Most of this was meh. O Holy night was excellent, as was Stand by Me (I know, not a Christmas song, but it was cool).

if i recall, it was featured in die hard, so it's a Christmas song

I don't listen to it often. Probably once or twice each Christmas season I'll tell Alexa to play holiday music as some low-volume background at dinner. Sometimes if we're travelling to my parents house for the holiday I might play it in the car, but not every time (and the kids put on their noise-cancelling headphones )

In the car, mainly... and only if the kids are riding along. And really only in December up until Christmas Day.

This is a good compromise imo.

Well, so let me wb&c about the options. I selected "No" but I don't agree with the "bah humbug" part. I enjoy Christmas music but I don't actively look for it unless it's a few days within Christmas, usually wrapping gifts or prepping the house w/wifey and son before Christmas day or making Christmas roast beast, etc. It's funny I remember back in the 70's, 80's, 90', early 00's getting bombarded with it and getting a little tired of it after a few weeks but you just don't hear it that much anymore.

My dad had a string of electric candles that would beep out a few carols, on repeat, with accompanying choreographed blinks. He'd run that for a couple hours then switch to his beloved greatest classic Christmas hits cassette and play that a couple times. Every year, every day, starting when the tree went up. I'm right out for holiday music.

omg I remember those. It would be funny if it wasn't so horrible.

 

[Zow]

No, I purposely try not to.

I actually enjoy it. Play quite frequently between thanksgiving and Christmas, although an hour is about my max, especially if it’s the real mainstream stuff
