i'm already out. i had to go shopping last weekend. i swear, someone at home depot turned up 'i saw mommy kissing santa claus'...
if i had to work retail around this time, the phrase would be "going retail" instead of "going postal"

I laugh every time a radio station plays Hallelujah in their Christmas rotation (and they all do it). Have their music directors ever actually listened to it? How is it even remotely Christmas music? Did they look at the title and "AHHH that is festive"? Did they confuse it with the Hallelujah chorus which is at least semi relevant?
I'd heard there was a secret chord That David played and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do you? Well, it goes like this The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall, the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Well, your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya She tied you to the kitchen chair She broke your throne and she cut your hair And from your lips, she drew the Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Well baby, I've been here before I've seen this room and I've walked this floor I used to live alone before I knew ya And I've seen your flag on the marble arch And love is not a victory march It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Well, maybe there's a God above But all I've ever learned from love Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya And it's not a cry that you hear at night It's not somebody who's seen the light It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8AWFf7EAc4[/ame]

Xmas music is mostly just garbage. If it weren't, it would be played year round. You'd be at a barbecue in July and think, man, I'd really like to hear Jingle Bells right now. Nobody ever thinks that.
If you doubt it, try this: At your next summer gathering, start playing Xmas music and see how quickly people ask you to turn that shit off. I listen to XM all day while I'm working and driving. They must have a dozen stations playing all Christmas crap. I wouldn't care, except they run promos for these crap channels in every fucking commercial break on every other channel. They actually started running spots for Xmas music on the goddamned Hallmark channel in October. |

HR manager? At my old work someone non Christian would file a lawsuit for hostile work environment and win. Not a chance you would hear Christmas music.

Actually I'm a big fan of all of Leonard Cohen' works As for Xmas, it's a joke, the most environmentally wasteful and money focused commercial venture there is.
