growls Death is too good for these people.
If Christmas doesn’t stop encroaching on Thanksgiving’s time, there’s going to be a war. Halloween might join, and then it’s REALLY a war on Christmas, which I heartily endorse.
I think Kia is running an ad for Christmas music. For me, I do not allow egg nog to be brought into the house until Black Friday.
It’s snowing right now in SE Michigan. Has any scientist explored a possible causal link between early snowfalls and the early playing of Christmas music?
Yesterday in my neighborhood, an ice cream truck blasting electronic Christmas music. Wrong on so many levels. 
Just came from Walmart. Paying for my purchase at the electronics counter they were playing Christmas music. I just thank my lucky stars I don’t work in a place that plays Christmas music. By Dec 1 I would be homicidal.
No snow in So. Arkansas, in fact it is barely cool, so no link there. I just want to die when Xmas music starts in stores, why oh why do I even?
Oh, pfft. There’s one around here that plays it in June. I think the driver sticks tapes in and can’t hear it himself. And yes, I think they’re tapes. The truck is ancient, and the sound quality is lousy.
I have Sirius XM, and had the unpleasant experience of getting in the car on November 1st only to find that the specialty channel I’d been listening to (they change the format every couple months, usually to something else I like) had switched to Christmas music. On November fucking 1st! I like Christmas music for exactly 4 hours every year, on December 25th, and I want to choose what I listen to. Holly Channel, my ass.
Why the fuck are you listening to radio with commercials?
It is 2017, Chrismas music, Justin Bieber, commercials only happens to the willing and/or stupid.
Complain, leave: take action.
Stop whining here.
Because I don’t have my own car, I use Uber.
Well, then that’s got to be worth one less star on the rating (or whatever scale Uber uses).
Someone has to be making these decisions. I’d bet $100 that person hates this as much as the rest of us. How does that happen? Can he or she just say, “sorry boss, I think you’ll be pissing off a lot of customers by doing that.”
Way late, bro. They’ve been playing them since before Halloween.
It’s a bit weird here in the Aloha State, a place constantly under the press of Irritating White America but which has never fully capitulated to it. The malls already have some decorations up, but the music isn’t playing, I don’t see any big promos or sales, and the great big get-in-the-spirit tis-the-season vibe just isn’t there. Christmas Creep is pretty much just going through the motions at this point; they do it because they’re expected to and don’t actually give a rip either way. I have noticed that Thanksgiving has been a nonentity for at least several years. Unless we have a kid in grade school or actually have a big annual family get-together, it’s pretty much just another day off.
Honestly, as long as you can control what plays on your TV and radio (I pretty much only listen to alt-rock stations), have a membership at a wholesale outlet, and don’t work in retail, forced merriment season is…mostly managable. And that’s pretty much the best I can hope for at this point. I always remind myself how much infinitely worse it was in high school.
Oh.
I thought they used 8-track tapes.
And the cashiers at Michael’s are wearing Santa hats, and the bank has wreaths and Christmas candy. I think I can feel my soul shriveling up and dying.
gets a Purple Heart in the War on Christmas
24 hour Christmas music playing on 103.5 FM in southern California for the non Grinches out there. You can probably stream it on the I Heart Radio app. 
Mariah Carey’s dog whistle vocal gymnastics at Walmart today made me wanna go directly to the sporting goods section,bust open the shotgun and ammo cases and take out the fucking sound system.
Mariah and Christmas is more cringe worthy to me than organized religion and politics.
