I've always been a miser. Christmas music made me livid. After all there's only a few dozen songs. After 3 hours, you've heard ever one of them. Then for the next 5 weeks you hear the radio just play the same songs with some different pop star "ooohing" and "babying" their way through it. But I've recently discovered that I didn't hate the music. I hated the pop stars and cookie cutter renditions of the same tired songs. I found an instrumental only Pandora Christmas channel that I can't get enough of. My wife is very happy to get her fix without my making vomit noises now

@Captain_Call , if you're referring to the Celtic Holidays Radio, that's the one I listen to as well.  If there's another, please post it.  

My wife and I went through the same thing.  She liked most Christmas music, with the possible exception of "Grandma got runned over by a reindeer".  Me?  I love the instrumentals, can tolerate some of the classics, once per season.  

But, if I never again have to endure Joan Jett croaking out her flat rendition of Little Drummer Boy, or other horrid perversions of Christmas music by other narcissistic artists, it'll be too soon.  

Charlie Brown Christmas

One year, our camping club was at a fairground where we usually held our Thanksgiving campout. Our rigs were all parked near an exhibit building next to the office which held, among other things, the player/recorder device that was broadcasting the Christmas music to all the speakers at the fairground.

Since this was a weekend, the office was locked up with the music player, set to loop continuously inside. Everything would have been fine if the player hadn’t gotten stuck on the cut of Johnny Mathis and his Chestnuts roasting on that damned open fire. ....😜😜😜

I could think of plenty of worse songs to get stuck on but still, that's a torture technique used to make people crazy. Please tell me there was a rebel who cut the wire.

After a few hours, a couple well-placed phone calls rousted someone to the rescue. But those were some miserable hours.... 😟😟

^^^^^^Ooohh, far too noisy for this Oldfart.... it’s physically painful.... 😣

Yeah, it probably won't get much airplay, but I found it a nice change.
