Do you like Christmas music played in shops

[cheesefest]

Had to endure two shops playing the god awful Christmas music this morning. We don’t play ours until 3 weeks time.

I hate it. It’s the same tired 40 songs every time. If you saw a Christmas album in the shops now and compare one found in a charity shop- the only song omitted from the former album is a disgraced 70s singer.

I try to zone out the music at work. When a customer says “this music is awful, feel sorry for you” I hear it!

 

[Feek]

I love it but this is too early.

As far as I'm concerned it should be against the law before December, same with christmas ads.

 

[Josh]

I'm sure we've had this hread at least 3 times now.

Should be a law against playing Christmas music early in a public place!

 

[Mujja]

Rarely go in to a shop now.

Didn't mind the music when I did.

Might annoy me if I worked in a store listening to any short playlist on a loop.

It’s the same tired 40 songs every time.

Christmas classics? I don't know of any recent Christmas songs I'd want to listen to

As a teenager I worked a Christmas in Debenhams, so I've heard so much Christmas music it doesn't bother me anymore.

and I bloomin' love this song:

Drove past a house last night with masses of illuminated christmas decorations plastered on the outside

It will be my 17th Christmas working there and no Christmas song impresses me now. Love carols. Even got my mum to take her CDs of Christmas songs to the charity shop instead. There are some hardly played Christmas songs I don't mind as its not the Slade, Wizzard, Mariah stuff on a loop.

Bet they are fed up with them by the end of the month....

Only late December. Not before the 15th.

December would be sensible at the worst.

I don't usually go into physical shops so I'm spared it now. And I don't plan Christmas until mid December anyway

Bully.

 

[cheesefest]

Bully.

She only played them when I was there when I had to endure them for 7-8 hours earlier in the day...

@cheesefest I'm tempted to give you a suitable name change

They can play whatever they want in shops as I often walk around with earphones in anyway.

The less waffle I hear from Joe Public the better.

1st of December onwards it's fine, essential even. Prior to that it's just unnecessary.

"When I was a kid they never played it before December....." etc
