You're right and you should say it

[(Anonymous)]

100% agree!

[philstar22]

I agree. And I personally listen to Christmas music on my ipod all year round. But that's for me. It shouldn't be forced on everyone. Although I'd say after Thanksgiving it is reasonable to start it.

[(Anonymous)]

After Thanksgiving, I'm resigned to it.

[philstar22]

Aw. I'm sorry. I love it. I also love Halloween music. And New Years music. Just love music really.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm glad you enjoy it at least!

What new years songs are there besides Auld Lang Syne?

[philstar22]

Don't know. The music they play during firework shows I guess.

What, you've never heard of Kiss Me at Midnight by 'N Sync?

[(Anonymous)]

If not, that's okay, I don't think many people have, it's a cute song, though.

Also:
several songs named 'New Year's Day' (U2, Taylor Swift, etc.)
1999 by Prince
New Year’s Resolution by Otis Redding and Carla Thomas
Happy New Year by Abba
It's Just Another New Year's Eve by Barry Manilow
What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve? by Ella Fitzgerald
Let's Start the New Year Right by Bing Crosby
Bringing in a Brand New Year by B.B. King
My Dear Acquaintance (A Happy New Year) by Regina Spektor
This Will Be Our Year by the Zombies
11:59 It's January by Scrawl
The New Year by Death Cab for Cutie
and New York, New York has sort of become a New Year's anthem

I'm a huge fan of A Long December by the Counting Crows on New Years Eve. All through December, really, but culminating in NYE. The Counting Crows also do Holiday In Spain which is explicitly set on New Years Day. It's pretty glum though, just as a warning. I mean, A Long December is melancholy for sure, but in a complex way that isn't without hopefulness. Holiday In Spain is more just straight depressive.

Empty Hearts by Josh Ritter is another one I listen to on NYE. Again melancholy, but not totally hopeless.

This Year by the Mountain Goats has become my new years Eve anthem

[(Anonymous)]

Merry Humbug to you as well!

I agree.

I'm not super opposed to items being visibly available for purchase in stores, but at least wait until after American Thanksgiving. I'm resigned to Christmas content throughout Christian Advent, but FFS.

[(Anonymous)]

If it was at least interspersed with regular music, it would be bearable, but it's NONSTOP.

I was at the grocery store this morning and they played Sleigh Ride 3 times in 15 minutes. That's enough!!

[(Anonymous)]

That would drive me batshit. And I love Sleigh Ride!

[(Anonymous)]

It should be illegal for staff mental health. I am now a manager and Christmas music is banned on my shifts until Christmas Eve. It is much appreciated except by the one person who looooooves Christmas and would happily play the music all year.

[(Anonymous)]

You are so right.

Its even worse when they play the xmas songs you hate over and over well before December when I can hate them a normal amount (Mainly looking at Do They Know It's Christmas? by Band Aid 30, because that song instantly makes me want to go feral and scream "Well we sure know NOW!!" before attempting to rip out the nearby speakers)
Also retail workers get enough shit as it is without the added mental torture of repeated xmas tunes in November-December.

[(Anonymous)]

Christmas is my favorite holiday and I absolutely agree with you.

[(Anonymous)]

I LOVE Christmas, and I 100% agree with you.

[(Anonymous)]

All I want for Christmas is You is a love song in a santa suit and deserves to be played all year. When I achieve world domination it will become the new Rickroll; automatically added to every playlist and sprung on unsuspecting listeners.

[(Anonymous)]

I like the song a lot, but I fear that at high levels of exposure all year round, it would melt peoples' brains. It's just too catchy.

[(Anonymous)]

I love All I Want For Christmas, but I do not want to hear it outside of December. It is a great song, but it's still very much a Christmas song. Hearing it all year round would cause it to lose its magic in a hot second, imo.

[(Anonymous)]

Yuuup. I'm a big fan of Christmas and I totally agree with you.

[harpers_child]

The Worst Christmas Soundtrack of all time at a retail job was eight songs long. Two of them were covers of the same song. One of them was a live Bruce Springsteen song including all the banter with the band. And of course Jackson 5. For six hours a day from mid-October until mid-January.

As an ex-retail worker I listen to a very heavily curated list of xmas music for about three days a year.

[(Anonymous)]

Late to comment, but I'd be much more willing to set foot in a store between the end of October and New Year's if they didn't force Christmas music on me. As it is, I avoid them.

Some people act like these obnoxious songs are a hallowed tradition, when really, most of that crap that gets overplayed in the US came out of 1950's Christmas Albums. When I realized that, it made more sense why a lot of it seemed so ... this has not aged well, to me.

I've got no issue with Greensleeves or Silent Night, or my best friend's favorite folk songs in German. But a lot of the stuff American stores put on repeat is just painful.
