And Thanksgiving is ignored by everyone again. Poor Thanksgiving. The best holiday hands down. Ain’t gotta buy shit for anyone, get to stuff your face, drink beer and watch football. And you have the day off the next day. Yeah ya gotta deal with extended family, but thats where alcohol is clutch. As someone who loves cooking, football, eating & drinking and who has a 5 day weekend this year around the holiday I can say with full confidence that it's my favorite.

One day Mariah Carey and Michael Buble will team up to make a Christmas song and the apocalypse truly begins.

If any of you f***ers are trying to get us to skip Thanksgiving and go straight to Christmas, heads will f***ing roll.

I’m so glad I left the grocery business. I get the holidays off and don’t have to break my back unloading crap for a bunch of stressed out shoppers.

Maybe we should make this year's Christmas into Rickmas:

This just reminded me that my job will soon be playing the same 5-10 Christmas songs on a continuous loop from now until the end of January. And people wonder why retail workers hate the holidays. We used to have a patient who was obsessed with Christmas. As soon as the radio stations started playing Christmas music, he'd turn the radio in the main dining room to those stations, even when other patients didn't want to hear it. One time, I turned it off, because it was early-November and some people were complaining, and he yelled at me. Another time, I brought in a CD from home to play and I told him we were listening to that instead of the radio. He told me "It better be Christmas music, or I'm throwing it in the trash!" lol Eventually, the administrator had to step in and tell him that we weren't going to play Christmas music until after Thanksgiving, and not every day. He didn't like it, but his wife told him to get over it.

And Thanksgiving is ignored by everyone again. Poor Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving’s only purpose is to give people a reason to bitch. If people weren’t bitching about Christmas overtaking it, they’d be bitching about having to see their racist relatives or bitching about Black Friday. Bitchgiving

Like I have said in another post, I like Christmas music, but I don't want to hear this early. I will probably start playing it more than halfway through the month.

The burn out from Christmas is real. It kind of reminds me when I was in high school choir and learning Christmas music in October for a concert in December. And my senior year, I was a part of a singing group that performed Christmas songs all over the area. Which I loved of course, but it gets monotonous when I’ve been singing and practicing the songs since SEPTEMBER.

Actually, our two easy listening stations went to holiday music this week. And I have heard a Mariah Carey song ONCE. And it was not...THAT. Maybe they finally took a hint and realized less is more? Or since Carey is considered the Queen of Christmas, they don't want people getting burned out by her as in previous years? It's working, as I will actually be excited when I hear you know what for the first time...someone I know very well also kind of turned me on to her in general..."the things we do for love," indeed. (On the other hand, I've heard Darlene Love and Anne Murray a lot, so they're nailing my other favorites. But isn't it funny how something finally grows on us...then it's only then that you scarcely see or hear it?)

You guys are lucky if you're only getting Christmas advertising in November.

It’s not a holiday. It’s a lifestyle.
