Do people at your workplace play Christmas music? Radio, CDs, or streaming? Does it play all the time, or just for certain periods? And are there certain employees who refuse to listen to Christmas music overall or certain artists?
No one at my workplace plays music unless it’s a rare day with just two or three people total in the office. No one ever plays Christmas music.
None and no one better start either. Christmas music hater.
No. It would unreasonably impact our work. I could just imagine sitting in court and hearing cheery Christmas music in a recording of a 9-1-1 robbery call. Just not appropriate.
If the Director or Assistant Director want to listen to music they can in their own offices. Not happening in the communications centre on my shift.
We have no piped-in music. And nobody anywhere near my cube is rude enough to play music at work at any time of year. (Lots of people listen to music via headphones or earbuds while working, but nothing wrong with that.) Other than the occasional cell phone ringtone, of course, but those are usually both short and at low volumes. So no Christmas music, thank the Lord.
I’m the official DJ at work and I play music every day. I have a Christmas playlist that I plan on blending in with the other playlists as soon as it’s December. Muahahaha!
My office is blessedly quiet. Everyone has earphones except for me and they all listen to whatever they choose. I find music of any kind do be a distraction when I work and I don’t know if it’s worse when it’s something I like or something I hate.
Give me quiet, please!
There is no music at my workplace. On the other hand, my wife works in a mall-ish environment and the building management started playing Christmas music* on October 28! I was outraged, because before Halloween novelty songs should be restricted to “Monster Mash”, “Werewolf Bar Mitzvah” and the like.
*Technically the song I heard was “Winter Wonderland” which doesn’t directly reference Christmas.
We always have music playing, but I do not allow xmas crap. We rotate rock, country, pop (bleech), calypso, rap, reggae, Irish, etc. Anyone can play anything except holidaze stuff.
Christmas music is the reason for the season’ hatred. I don’t know why store managers and radio stations feel compelled to torture us with it from Halloween onward.
Fortunately, I am the guy in charge at my place of business. I’m almost tempted to hang a big banner outside proclaiming “NO CHRISTMAS MUSIC BEING PLAYED IN HERE” so that people can have a haven to come to. 
Last place I worked we all had music through our headphones. Beyond that, nada.
You wait until December? Slacker.
A former co-worker used to play the easy listening station’s Christmas lineup from November 1 on. I find easy listening offensive in the first place. Having Celine Dion or Mariah Carey screech her way through what was once a pleasant little choral has taken the enamel off my teeth. I don’t know who sang Dominick the Italian Christmas Donkey, but he needs punching.
There are beautiful Christmas songs. There are Christmas songs that make me smile. Six weeks of easy listening is hell and I don’t care which six weeks you pick. Makes me get out my Pogues cds.
I work in a store owned by Jewish people with a large Jewish customer base. Absolutely not.
Years ago, when I was in retail, we had a CD of Christmas shit in a medley, about 33 minutes long. It played on repeat. All day. Every day. For a couple months.
Pretty sure it gave me PTSD. 
I’ve got a copy of the CD. It’s labeled, “Fucking Christmas Music”. I don’t play it.
