the stores here in new orleans are confused as well. they have merry christmas and happy holidays up already. i was tempted to scratch out the christmas and write thanksgiving but i had not a black marker on me.

just wait, when christmas is actually here, they'll be playing thanksgiving music...whatever that is.

No. They'll be playing halloween music.

No, they'll be playing easter music. For the easter holidays...well after new year.

Christmas music?

Aaaaahhh!! !! !! I can't stand it! Blow it up, blow it up!! !

I think they started with the Christmas specials at Briscoes about a week agoe. They make a sale out of everything: Easter? Check. New Years? Check. Employee birthday? Check. The telve days before Christmas? Check. Actual Christmas? Check. Boxing Day? Check.

I hate Boxing Day sales, because when you've bought one item from them for the Chrismas Sale, they put it up for half the reduced price and say "We're having a Boxing Day Sale here at Briscoes! Come in now!" With a smile that never, EVER goes away. Oh, and they've been using the same poor lady for over twenty years now; she was here when my parents came to NZ 20 years ago.

Yeah, I can't stand Boxing Day either, even though it doesn't exist here in the US.

Just hear those sleigh bells jingle-ing

Ring ting tingle-ing too

Come on, it's lovely weather

For a sleigh ride together with you

Outside the snow is falling

And friends are calling "You Hoo"

Come on, it's lovely weather

For a sleigh ride together with you

Giddy-yap giddy-yap giddy-yap

let's go

Let's look at the snow

We're riding in a wonderland of snow

Giddy-yap giddy-yap giddy-yap it's grand

Just holding your hand

We're gliding along with the song

Of a wintry fairy land

Our cheeks are nice and rosy

And comfy cozy are we

We're snuggled up together like two

Birds of a feather would be

Let's take the road before us

And sing a chorus or two

Come on, it's lovely weather

For a sleigh ride together with you

There's a birthday party at the home of Farmer Gray

It'll be the perfect ending of a perfect day

We'll be singing the songs we love to sing without a single stop

At the fireplace while we watch the chestnuts pop

Pop! Pop! Pop!

There's a happy feeling nothing in the world can buy

When they pass around the coffee and the pumpkin pie

It'll nearly be like a picture print by Currier and Ives

These wonderful things are the things

We remember all through our lives

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!! !! !! !! !! !!

It's just been confirmed...

...my Mum went out shopping for clothes yesterday, and there was Christmas music over the intercom...

I'm sure Werbert has a nuke I could borrow to solve this problem?

Just force yourself get a song you like stuck in your head. Your problem will end in a matter of seconds. Or just get an MP3 player.

A nuke won't solve this problem. Us godless liberals need to redouble our efforts in the War on Christmas.

I've got an MP3 player already, so I have that covered!

Maybe we should form a petition stating that you can only celebrate Christmas in stores during the twelve days leading up to it!

That might work, too, but I like the nuke better.

do you realize how many crazy christmas shoppers will be running through the store frantically trying to buy that perfect gift before anyone else does if this was done? i personally like the idea of christmas reminders right after thanksgiving. i don't want to be eating my thanksgiving turkey listening to christmas music that may aunt insists on putting on.

You'd think people would be smart enough to remember by themselves...

GAAAAYAAARAAAAKAAAAIIIIIOOOOAAAAA! They haven't started playin' Christmas music on UK radio yet, but stores like Woolworth's, Argos and ASDA are showing their Christmas adverts, with annoying jingles with jingle bells.

The Christmas anthem of the UK is "Merry Xmas Everybody" by Slade. It's been our Christmas anthem for over 30 years. There haven't been enough original, new Christmas songs to replace this drivel.

Most christmas songs annoy me except the one the group "The darkness" did.

Here it's 'Let it Snow'. It's always in the Beaurepairs ads.
