A couple weeks ago, one of the local rock radio stations crapped the bed. I turned it on and it was playing country music. Needless to say, it got booted from my car radio presets. I ended up replacing it with an oldies station that plays 60s and 70s music. Not a great station, but not bad.
Anyway, last Friday I was out doing something for work. I had the radio on for company. Both of the local rock stations were playing commercials, so I put on the oldies station. Christmas music. They were playing Christmas music. A week after frickin’ Halloween, for crying out loud. They’re now billing themselves as Oldies 98.3, The Capital District’s Holiday Music Station. This is rucking fidiculous.

Tis true virtually across the nation as a whole. Hell, Target had its Christmas decorations out days before Halloween. Criminy! It is sad, John.

All this hype. By the time the day finally arrives, it’s almost anticlimactic.

My daughter loves Christmas movies and Lifetime has been playing them every afternoon on TV. I had no idea there were so many made for TV Christmas movies.

I’m sure there are a whole bunch of cheesy 70s-era Christmas-themed TV movies even Lifetime won’t touch.

I haven’t heard Christmas music yet. Thank god.

It’s coming, Chris. You can’t stop the inevitable. Makes me wish my MP3 player hadn’t crapped the bed.

Every year it gets EARLIER…and I think I might have a solution to all of this…
Let’s CELEBRATE Christmas ALL DAMN YEAR…period!
Hey, that ought honk off all the atheists…AND will win this “war on Chtristmas”.
Whatta “two-fer”.!
But the down side is that I don’t believe I could handle “Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer” being played in say…JULY.
Besides, how the hell do you keep a REAL Christmas tree alive ALL YEAR without having it outside in the damn ground to begin with?
😉
Oh well, back to the think tank…lol.
Stay safe out there.

I can barely handle hearing “Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer” in December. 🙂
Of course, some people really like the song. Like this guy:
