Topic: that #%$#&*# Christmas Music

[buckoff]

I think that every one of those dummies in Dallas should have the same music we are forced to endure at work piped into thier offices 24/7 just like us!  Lets see if it will help thier #%&#$Christmas spirt...it does not do much for mine.

K this is to funny we where saying the same thing the other night,, we actually turn the music down real low. I mean there are plenty of modern artist with xmas songs. This outdated chamber music is very grating on the nerves. Even our customers tell us they feel for us to have to listen to this outdated music all day. I am just glad that we can control the volume.

"Jingle Bells" by any Zydeco band is enough to make one go postal.

Clueless

OMG you are SO RIGHT.  Since I live in HI, we hear the Xmas music starting at 7 pm on HALLOWEEN.  It drove me NUTS when I worked at the 24-hour shoppette, it can lull anyone to sleep!

I work at a 24 hour shoppette,, it started just after midnight on halloween. Im thinking the same tone deaf SOB who picked the monthly jingle winners also picked the christmass music

You can always do what I did, because of the number of religious songs they play (Come all Ye Faithfull, Away in a Manger, God is Great Beer is Good) say that you are offended by it's attempt to push a specific faith.  You could by Muslim, Wiccan, Pagen or an non believer.  And listening to it contributes to a hostile work place.  They did not turn it all the way off when I work but lowered it to the point no one can hear.  And with all the faith promoting songs they do play it is a factor.

Well I'm a Christian so I actually celebrate Christmas.  I enjoy Christmas music, just not for the entire month of November.  Let's start it up after Thanksgiving!

I actually have control of the nob when im at work so its not a issue,, and trust me it gets turned off when im working,, ands its just not me all my fellow co-workers are screaming for it to be turned off as well. Wouldnt be so bad if they would play some modern xmas music. Anyone know if you can hook up a IPOD to the radio equipment and bypass this xmas crap music that was out dated in the 50's??

[Disgruntled]

Unfortunately, you can't do it without bypassing the satellite.

Everyone rejoice,, that old outdated, put you to sleep xmas chamber music is gone for another year. Who the hell hired the person who choses that music,,,, They both need to be locked up in a room with no windows for 24 hours listening to that feed,,,

The music did not seem as bad this year. I could of sworn last year they had some kid contest winner singing that drove me absolutely nuts.

[Disgruntled]

They did have that kid jingle playing for an entire month. We had people threatening to take up a collection to hunt her down and put a muzzle on her.
