Ok, at the risk of being called a SCROOGE or GRINCH.........and I'm sorry if it offends anyone...................................
Is it REALLY necessary to play Christmas and other winter Holiday songs EVERY OTHER SONG on EVERY radio station????
I'm sorry, really I am. It's not that I don't like Christmas songs......but do we have to have them crammed down our throats NON-STOP from Thanksgiving on??? I have tried Rock stations, Country stations....and it seems I'm flipping stations constantly. I understand how some Christmas shoppers enjoy the music and that it does help get one in the mood. But my complaint is the frequency......
For one thing due to various circumstances in my life right, I just don't have the Christmas Spirit this year. And all the Holiday music only makes me feel more lonely and depressed. I can't be the only person who dreads this aspect of the Holidays.
Or am I????

I always thought that SS stood for SugarSprinkles!I didn't know
that it stood for ScrodgeSprinkles!Seriously;I haven't had any
Christmas spirit in years.In my opinion they have just made it too
commercialised.It's just another chance for the merchants;to
suck as much money from you as possibleEven our Christmas card list has dwindled to hardly nothing.They keep raising the Postal Rates;and that's the only time that you hear from 85% of
the people. Irish

I haven't been bombarded by Christmas songs on the stations I listen to. I do grow tired of hearing them in the stores when I am shopping though.

A short list:
People who think they deserve respect only because they have lived on this earth long enough to be considered 'old'.
The way men are portrayed on television advertisments.
Intrusive authoritative fundamentalists.
Parents telling bald-faced lies to children in order to 'preserve their innocence'.
The bilious lies emanating from Microsoft, and their new licencing policies.
Parents who romanticize about how their parents beat them.
My inability to communicate verbally with the opposite sex.
My appearance.
The collapsing of the IT industry just as I'm poised to enter it.
People talking loudly on telephones near me.
I'll probably think of more later.

I detest seeing Xmas .
Its Christmas so if it has to be abbreviated why not C'mas?
I will not buy anything from a store that has an Xmas sign.
I am not religous but taking the christ out od Cristmas hits a raw nerve in me.

I agree with GG.It ALL amounts to what I said about Christmas
being so commercial!I'm certainly not religous but they have
taken the"Christ"out of Christmas!"X"didn't die on the cross
for us! Irish
P.S.Please don't send religous comments.I'm not disrespecting
anyones beliefs(sp?);I know that everyones are different!

Just a note about the X in Xmas......I have heard another way to consider that X..........as a cross. I knew a preacher who actually would use the X to unite both the birth and crucifix. You can see things in many different ways.......it's all about personal interpretation.
My bitch is the freaking malls saying their hours are til 10pm but all the stores I wanna shop at still closing at 9. I say all or nothing!!!!!

Oh, poor Lilith, what should I say? The shops close here mon-fri at 8 PM, sat at 4PM, sundays closed completely (except petrol stations and bakeries).
About the Xmas: We use XXX for kisses, right? Perhaps it´s because kiss and Christ- sound similar???
So it´s possibly kiss-mas???

Seems like a good time to review this thread.
As soon as diva checks in, I can start my plow and get that street clean.

I hate recruiters who want to talk to you daily -- for long periods of time -- when there is no job to be found.
Dont waste my time, bub.
