anyone else sick of Christmas Songs yet?

I mostly listen to RTE and Newstalk, and RTE thankfully restrict themselves to 1st Dec (RTE1) and 8th Dec (Lyric), and Newstalk don't play much music.

But I'm already mightily sick of Christmas ads (and this despite watching practically nothing live on the telly and FF'ing through all ad breaks). And the poxy Toy Show.

If I ever become President/Taoiseach, the first law I'd enact would be a ban on any mention of Christmas until 1st December. After that, 24/7 if you like, all bets are off.

I saw fresh Christmas trees for sale on Francis Street last week FFS!!

Oh I mean ANY mention of Christmas - trees, lights, ads, songs, jumpers..... 3.5 weeks of all that shite is more than enough!

(The best Christmas I ever had was when I sailed across the Atlantic at the end of November, and only came home on 21st or 22nd December - 2 or 3 days of Christmas was just perfect!)

No.

Thanksgiving is irrelevant in this counrty.

the apartment across the street and the one next door have Christmas stuff up since the day after Halloween ffs!!!! was in the local pizza place last night collecting our order,theyve got feckin Christmas songs on a loop,thank feck was only there for 10mins!!! its WAY too early for all of that carry on,at least leave it till december,preferably the 24th!!!

haven't heard any on the radio yet, but the shops have their bloody Xmas playlists on already - I heard Auld Lang Syne in a supermarket yesterday!

Sick to death of same old same old every year. I avoid music radio at all costs and keep time in shopping places to absolute minimum.

Can you ban Black Friday while you're at it?

Spare a thought for the less than happy perhaps a bit surly little elves in the retailers this year, Christmas for them starts once the containers full of Christmas tat rolls in from China usually around mid-October. By November it'll be every day containers coming in or sealed pallets of shite, less than helpful lorry drivers giving you lip over a tear in the sealed pallet and you insist on a full goods in. All the while happy festive musak is wafting over the air like a rotten Christmas stocking to the point where you feel like puking your guts up. Your exhausted tired starving hungry and had no tea break or lunch.

So if you get a surly little elf this year serving you or if you ask 'where are the dancing santa's'? just take a minute and understand maybe they're having a shittier day than you are.

If you manage to get the Christmas Forum on Boards closed down, getting made Taoiseach will be a walk in the park. Would you be brave enough to go on there and tell the hard core that they are all mad?

Don’t know any or have any interest in Americana!

Throw in Joni Mitchell and Jona Lewie.

hurry up, I need to put Bublé in and there's a lot more of him!

The thrill of the opening thirteen notes playing on a glockenspiel before Mariah opens her gob 😀

Roy Wood and Noddy Holder are the two worst ones for me. Those two must have raked in a fortune in royalties with two of the most irritating Christmas songs ever.

The only Christmas music I really like is oldie stuff from Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra, as well as Christmas carols. That sort of music really gets me in the mood for Christmas, not that commercial muck on the radio.

Little Drummer Boy with Bing Crosby and David Bowie, is great, in fairness.

Thursday 28th December and it's the 4th day of Christmas 🎄 Only eight days of Christmas songs left, so enjoy 😀
