Holiday songs: love them or can’t stand them?

Question

It's December which means holiday music is on every radio station and in every store. Are you the type of person who can't get enough of it or do you try and avoid it as much as possible?

Can't.  They depress me and make me sad - I'll be home for Christmas, The Christmas Song, even Jingle Bells.  The holidays are a depressing time for some people, myself included, and as hard as I fight not to be sad at this time of year I can't help it.  I would prefer not to hear it but I won't take it away from others who enjoy them  and the spirit of the holiday.

I like hearing them when I am out shopping...NOT blasting over speakers, but subtle or just the instrumental.  Personally, I don't play it at home until the eve or the day.

Love, but I don't start listening until December 1.  I don't work in retail though, and I bet hearing the loop of holiday music all day at work could get a little irritating.

Love them... but work keeps taking over my thoughts so I haven’t had a chance to really enjoy them. Im looking forward to singing my favs during my commute back home,

I like holiday songs,  close to the holiday not in the middle of November or 24/7.   I can only take Jingle Bells, or Here Comes Santa Claus just so many times.

For me...   Depends on the song and the artist.  
Some I like - some I hate - some drive me up the wall.

I think a mix of holiday songs is a great balance. Recently, i've felt a little disappointed in how my year turned out; listening to holiday music helps me appreciate the good things that did happen. Music can be really transforming for me, its a healthy distraction away from my negative thoughts and compels me to be grateful, appreciative and spiritual. So what if things didn't work out, at least I'm alive and healthy. The music reminds me to relax, clear my head and just enjoy the present moment.

Cannot stand any 'Holiday' music except for traditional hymns and carols. Absolutely detest it.

Cassy Lombardi · Answer

I do love me some Christmas music (depending on the song), but it's definitely all about balance. I can't do it constantly leading up to Christmas but there are days and nights here or there where I put it on to get into the spirit! Also great for decorating and holiday shopping ;)
