I'm dreaming of a silent Christmas

[Shelli]

:ranton:

It is not even :turkey: day yet and since I got to work this morning, the radio station that we have on at work has played nothing but f'n x-mas and Christmas music ALL FUCKING MORNING! EVERY FUCKING SONG! :tantrum: Even with little blurbs in between the sicky sweet goo [snipped in the spirit of x-mas season to come :giggle:] about how it's the x-mas season. Hello? Helloooooooo??! No, it is NOT x-mas season! We haven't even had :turkey: day yet, you fucking sensless morons! :ranting:

Now, put back on the regular crap that you subject us to every day. PUT IT BACK! :glare: At least it's better than x-mas music ALL DAY LONG when it's still before Thanksgiving! :hairpull:

Whatsit supposed to be, Ding? Looks like it doesn't allow hotlinking.

[BrotherMan]

He's calling you an anti-Christmas, anti-falafel, feminazi, I believe. It's all right there in the hover text.

:unnod:

I've been brewing my Christmas-too-early rant since November 1st. Halloween has just ended and the Seasonal Isle at the supermarket was already stuffed with Happy fucking Holidays bullshit. It's so I can't enjoy the peaceful three weeks of November before the madness begins. I mean, sweet 8½ pound baby Jesus (my favorite Jesus) can't you let us be fucking thankful for what we have before we run off begging for more shit that we don't need?

What WAS my favorite radio station lost me as a listener (now it's been years) when they started with the 24 hour Christmas music a month early! :shakefist:

I was in a gift shop a couple days ago and they played a song non-stop over and over again (I don't know the name of it but it didn't have words) and it is all still all stuck in my head!! :shakefist:

Doot doddie do!
Doot doddie do!
Doot doddie do!

Doot doodie doddie doddie doo doo, Doot doodie doodie doodie doo doo .... etc.

Christmas is a humbug, a turbo-charged, nitrous-injected humbug with a 20" spinner rims.

[Shelli]

:giggle: That's one of the few x-mas songs I like. :songhead:

[Uthgar the Brazen]

I hated it every year since its initial release, but at some point during last year's holiday season, I listened to it and guffawed throughout. :D

I had hoped against hope that maybe they were going to play continuous x-mas music only in the morning.. just to get back from lunch to find out that I was...

WRONG! :fail:

Two words: :ipod:

Mine's been loaded up with Christmas music since October.. :xmastree:

[SharonDee]

Shelli, several times I wanted to hit the "thanks" button on your posts for the bah-humbuggery. But I couldn't for all the Elvis hate therein.

What did The King ever do to you? :tremble:

[Stormlight]

You get a "thanks" for that Sharon. :unnod:

[SharonDee]

Gawrsh. Thanks!
:goofy:

[Shelli]

I'm not a fan of Elvis's, not his music, and certainly not his velvet paintings. :nojustno:

However, in the spirit of x-mas (:giggle:), I'll leave The King outa this. :hug:

The spirit of x-mas not withstanding, however, one of my co-workers who is trying to drive me insane(r) by whistling and humming along to this onslaught of pre-Thanksgiving x-mas tunage, is going to die.. a long, slow, painful death. :plotting:

[Uthgar the Brazen]

It's people like you who refuse to let the State set up a Baby Elvis in his manger display and end up ruining America!

My ears.... the burning... make it stop. :explode:

I worked at a KMart while going to school, a store where the manager was an Elvis fanatic. Every year we would be subjected to Elvis' Christmas Album (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elvis%27_Christmas_Album) repeated continually from after Thanksgiving until New Years.

I think that is covered as torture under the Geneva Convention now.

[BrotherMan]

There's a solution to your problem, Shelli.

It's the right thing to do.

Hee hee hee. I was making cards with some friends this weekend and we had the radio on, which was playing Christmas songs, of course. And of course I was singing along with every one of them, and the lady at the table next to me kept looking up cuz she thought I was talking to her. I'm like, "nope, still singing." :shrug:

It all started with, "Last Christmas, I gave you my heart. The very next day, you gave it away..."

:singing:

[BrotherMan]

Will it make you feel better if I say I am against the forced Corporate Christmas mentality? I'm fighting against The Man telling me when I should be happy!

Damn the Man! and his forced Christmas Happiness Policies! YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME!

[ITSOZAZ]

i feel sorry anybody angry over christmas. who cares? how can it possibly bother you that much? are you offended that being nice is marketed to sell products? if i was as unhappy as some of you are, i would take the nice where i can get it.

geez.

i like christmas. gives me an excuse to buy presents for lots of people...i enjoy that. i like the colours and the lights. i don't give a rat's ass about the religious aspect.

sad...

[ITSOZAZ]

and Shelli...you must listen to a really shitty music station.

[Uthgar the Brazen]

I love the lights, colours, etc, too, but the thing that irks me is the Halloween candy hardly has time to get stale before we're inundated with Yule stuff. By the time the actual holiday rolls around, I'm completely burned out on it all.

[Crumb]

I feel sad for anybody who feels sorry about anybody who feels angry over Christmas.

[Uthgar the Brazen]

Here comes the thread crash.
:sigh:

[Shelli]

:glare: @ Ensign

Sorry, PW, but until :turkey: day has come and gone, I don't wanna hear it at all, let alone ALL TIGGERFORSAKEN DAY!!1! :girlscream:

Please! PLEASE! MAKE IT STOP!!1! :girlcry:

[ITSOZAZ]

good for you crumb...but it's only mild sadness, at watching people struggle with their emotions, which others find amusement in. why encourage the anger and not just tell people to chill out and be merry?

i feel sorry for you too, crumb. it's ok.

[Shelli]

For some reason, I'm not seeing certain posts in this thread. Ahh.. at least some things are silent. :pleased:

[ITSOZAZ]

you're signed in as a guest...you're lying, Shelli. your condition won't allow you to ignore what bothers you.

lighten up...aim for the middle.

and with that...i leave.

[D. Scarlatti]

I'm not seeing certain posts in this thread.

Too bad. You're missing a lot of struggling with mental illness, which you might otherwise take joy in.

[ITSOZAZ]

lol!

yes...a mirror. burn. good point ;)

oh yeah...i was leaving.

[ITSOZAZ]

if you really believe i have a mental illness, then you just prove my point. you have fun at my expense and constantly poke the retard with a stick.

that's not very...in tune with the season :)

[Shelli]

:lol:

[Uthgar the Brazen]

Speaking of liars...

[ITSOZAZ]

there i changed mental illness to struggling with their emotions.

[Sock Puppet]

Thank you. That would make all the difference ... if anybody gave a shit.

[livius drusus]

I get sick of the extended carol season too, although I've come to appreciate more of the individual songs. Some I totally adore, even. Winter Wonderland is one my favorites. "Later on, we'll conspire as we sit by the fire, to face unafraid the plans that we made walking in a winter wonderland."

How great is that verse? :vibes:

[BrotherMan]

I think the most important thing said today is that Shelli listens to a crappy radio station.

Ain't that the 8½ pound baby Jesus truth. amirite?

About this all day, every day, till x-mas :whine: Christmas music, I'm not actually angry at all; irritated :nod:, angry :nope:.

A good rant helped dispell that irritation is all, and the chance to use smilies is always welcome. :giggle:

GACK!!

Christmas shit has been going on here since the last of September and I am bloody well tired of it. STOP IT, STOP IT!!!!!
It is hard enough for people who are stressed to the limit because they can't get kids what they want for christmas so why in the hell are they rubbing it in their faces.... after all they have taken the layaway factor away for most folks so it is like they are saying see ya, screw ya! Christmas music shouldn't start until after December 1st and as far as I am concerned neither should the turning on of Christmas lights. --I don't think Christ would be to happy to know that this supposed birthday of his has become one big commercial gig. This to me would represent a golden calf or idol in my book. Worship the all might fuckin dollar, yeah, that's right!
Running Christmas into Halloween is the last straw for me. I have always enjoyed Halloween, not this year. Take note that the holiday cheer for Halloween and Thanksgiving are very small this year, not only in the stores, but TV commercials as well. Even TV sitcoms are trying to avoid them. Sucks man, just sucks.....:whup:

[JamesBannon]

Shelli! I'm kidding! :cuddles: In actual fact I hate all the razzmataz as well.

[BrotherMan]

I think someone needs to take a Valium (or equivalent).

:unnod:

[Shelli]

Oh, I thought you were kidding, James. No worries. :hug:

I hear ya, iw. :smile!:

[inland wave]

Don't get me wrong, Christmas is fun and all that, but keep it where it belongs, in December!

The only break we had from x-mas music today was commercials... about x-mas. :brooding:

You should move here. I haven't heard a single Christmas song so far, this year. :pleased:

But I can feel Wham's "Last Christmas" hanging in the air. :yipes:

Favourite Christmas Song: I Believe in Father Christmas (Emerson, Lake & Palmer)

[Uthgar the Brazen]

I keep misreading the thread title as "I'm dreaming of a salient Christmas."

[curses]

Ever since my 8 years in the food industry/retail hell, I've come to hate Christmas carols. Sorry, y'all. Can't do it. Every one has an associated memory of the wannabe well-to-do and their desire to make my life miserable.


And I want a velvet Elvis, dammit.

[Shelli]

If I send you a velvet :elvis:, could you fix it so that the radio station they play at my work doesn't subject me to another day of 100% x-mas songs, please? :thankee:

[curses]

If only I could, Shelli. I've already got one Atlanta station in my sight, it started in with the Jingle Bells the day after Halloween. Too.Fuckin.Early!

But I'll still take that velvet Elvis off your hands. I found one on Ebay I liked a few months ago, but it was $80. But it still wasn't as good as the velvet matador in the local Mexican place. I <3 tacky.

[Shelli]

I'm attracted to some kinds of tacky myself. I think my dislike of Elvis has more to do with my late step-monster's mother's obsession with Elvis than his music or velvet depictions, because if not that, it really doesn't make any sense to me why I'd have such a negative reaction to it. I say that because the only music that I can say I can't stand is hard rap and hard metal. Everything else, if I don't actually like it, I can at least tolerate it to an extent. So, well, sorry Elvis. I'll leave you out of this. :patpat:

Now, back to pre-:turkey:-day all day, non-stop x-mas music...

Please! Make it stop! PLEASE! I BEG YOU! :cries:

[Shelli]

I have a confession to make. :blush2:

I've been humming and singing "Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow!" to myself since it started snowing at 7:00 this morning! :excited:

*Sob* none of my torrent searches are working this morning. I have no christmas music on this puter. The kids and I have been having to youtube each song individually!

And well Youtube just dosnt have the time/life Amazing christmas songs CD package! Only 19.95! Call now to order yours!

We never ever have a radio station that goes all christmas music :(

[Shelli]

Treachery!

LOL @ Julie!

Funneh!

[Shelli]

In defense of the disk jockeys on the station that we listen to at work, they are again this all day, every day, till x-mas, especially starting before :turkey: day, x-mas music. It's the owner of the radio station that has made it an order that they'd rather not fulfill.

The disk jockeys feel it's a bad idea in that they'll lose listeners (I agree) and they've started a poll for listeners to weigh in with their opinions on the subject.

Stop the insanity!

I'm soooooooo NOT ready for Christmas...

Can we cancel it this year, perhaps?

[Uthgar the Brazen]

I'd be happy with a 6-month delay so I can resolve some debt in order to get into new, holiday-related debt. :rolleyes:

[Smilin]

sighhhh,,,I hear yah Uthgar.

Just rolled all my revolving debt into one account (instead of 10 different ones) so I can manage it better.

DON'T NEED ANY NEW DEBT!

Blehhhhhh!!!!!!

[Crumb]

I think we need to change Christmas to an every OTHER year affair.

[Smilin]

I'm all for that...and SINCE we had Christmas last year, this year's Christmas is here-by canceled!

All in favor?

[Crumb]

Aye!

Augusta, Georgia. Hottest city in the US today. 80 degrees. (That's 27 degrees to the furriners). :sun:

Love it!

[Shelli]

Yep, apparently, that's all it took. :snowflake:

Good that you're there and I'm here then. I don't like the warmer climates much at all. I'm orginally from upstate NY on Lake Ontario. Now, THAT'S winter. :snowman:

We didn't even hit that in the summer :cry:

Not much anyway :(

Yep! I'm from Southern California, and I have never lived in a place where it snows. I've only even seen snow a couple times in my life. It frightens and confuses me.

[Shelli]

I've only even seen snow a couple times in my life. It frightens and confuses me.:giggle: sounds like Tigger :tremble: before he got used to it :dog: and now he wants to play while I shovel. He tries to catch and eat the snow when it leaves my shovel. Silleh doggeh. :chuckle:

[Shelli]

ARRGGG!!! I'm home from a night out, sitting in front of my puter, all is peace & quiet... and then... ARRRRRGGG!!!1! Christmas songs!! Get them out of my head! Please! For the love of Tigger!

Get them out!!1! :brainslug:

X-mas tree! Oh, x-mas tree!
:singing:

[Ensign Steve]

I switched my iPod from xmas music to Serj Tankian for my long drive over Thanksgiving, but I think I'm ready to put it back now. :wriggle: I added Wham's "Last Christmas" as well as "I want a hippopotamus" to my rotation. I'm still looking for Feliz Navidad and the Cheech and Chong song (that one's for my mom).

You reminded me ... the reason I'm cleaning so much this week is because I forbade myself to put the tree up until the house was organized. What was I thinking?! :ohnoes:

:xmastree:

[Pan Narrans]

http://choppingblock.org/comics/cb20071119.jpg

[vremya]

I know what you mean. The station we usually listen to at work switched over to all Christmas all the time a week before Thanksgiving. Too early! We found another one, and now that one is playing Christmas stuff night and day. (we have lousy reception and can only get a handful of stations clearly).

Ordinarily Christmas really isn't Christmas for me until I hear Happy Xmas (War is Over) and Do They Know It's Christmas but I've already heard both of them at least 10 times (and I'll hear them at least 20 more times before Christmas). Kind of cheapens it for me.

And ENOUGH with The Carol of the Bells already!

[Ensign Steve]

Carol of the Bells kicks ass. You people have no taste. Also, Sleigh Ride. :wriggle:

[Shelli]

I'm getting used to it because it's that or be pissy about it and, meh, it is what it is. :shrug: The only songs I just can't stand are the overtly religious ones. :jesus:

I got the work x-mas tree up though and it looks better than last year because I brought in some x-mas lights to replace those that decided not to work last year only AFTER I had them on the tree. They worked fine when I tested them. :brooding:

Anyway.. Yay! X-mas tree! :treeglomp:

[Dingfod]

I like Carol of the Bells or Sleigh Ride, but performed on sousaphone and accordian, not so much.

[Dingfod]

Or the Jingle Bells barking dogs for the forty-seven millionth time, this year.

[vremya]

Or the Jingle Bells barking dogs for the forty-seven millionth time, this year.

Amazingly I haven't heard that one yet this year. Thankfully.

[Dingfod]

Actually, neither have I, but then again, I've avoided places and radio stations that play Xmas music.

[Qingdai]

I enjoy the Christmas stylings of John Prine, "Christmas in Prison"
Here's the closest I could find on youtube, not as good as his version (then again he wrote the thing).
YouTube - Christmas in Prison (John Prine cover)

For those who have slow connections it starts out, "It was Christmas in prison, and the food was real good, we had turkey and pistols carved out of wood,..."

Good times!

[biochemgirl]

Shelli, I feel your pain now.

At work today in one of the buildings I was working in the radio played nothing but Xmas music for an hour. If I have to listen to it, I'd rather listen to Bing Crosby or the older stuff, not boy bands sing Christmas :puke:

[Shelli]

:giggle: @ boy bands sing Christmas

[Shelli]

Since my boss quit who would have been the only one adverse averse (just caught myself there, thanks again, vm :wink:) to changing the radio station we had on, today we changed the station to a classic rock station that normally I can't stomach but it's a breath a fresh air after weeks of non-stop x-mas music already with weeks to go :bleh: and it's something we could all agree on.

Thanks be to :tigger: for making the noise stop. :bow:

[Shelli]

:lol: I think they just played a song by the BeeGee's.

Groovy!
