Anyone else sit under speakers at work where they're playing Christmas tunes 24/7?

Friday I counted 8 versions of Little Drummer Boy.



That's it: I hate Christmas.

I don't sit under speakers at work but everyone here has it on their radios and yes - I've heard the different versions of not only the Little Drummer Boy, but Santa Claus is Coming to Town. I don't mind the Christmas music but the station everyone is listening too just keeps playing the same damn songs. What about "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer", "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" or "Dominic the Donkey".

Well I do security for construction at an airport. So since I have my own little booth, I can control what I listen to and so far haven't had the urge for any xmas music, at work at least. We do have a station here that plays it 24/7 they seem pretty good at not repeating alot.

But I never heard "Dominic the Donkey" hmm. I will have to look that up.

YUP! Hippo is my favorite Christmas tune, followed by Dominic...once 104.5 flipped and no longer does the 24/7 Christmas music, I thought B101 would play the same songs...nope! Funny, I played both of these yesterday on CD :googly:

I like christmas music a lot, and I'd probably listen to it year-round (interspersed with the Misfits) if my wife would put up with it, LOL.

Hippo is my fave Christmas song, too!! Everytime I hear it, which isn't often at all, I get this silly smile and sing along.

And no, I won't put up with it all year, Pete but December is the one month that we actually don't fight about what to listen to in the car!! LOL

Another useless fact about me I have around 75 Christmas CDs. Sad.

I have a useless fact to share with you as well:

The song " I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" was released as a fund raiser so the Oklahoma City Zoo could buy a Hippo. Really.

It worked. The song was a hit, they raised the money, they got their hippo.

God bless us, every one.

Easily, my least favorite song of the lot.

I actually like classical Christmas songs or anything done by the Boston Pops. Good stuff when it's not done by the likes of the hottest country stars or Beyonce'.

Glad to see I'm not the only one! The other day, I heard Carol of the Bells and actually started singing "ding, fries are done" under my breath!

When they play that crap at work I throw on my ipod with metal on it.I can listen for short periods,no way all day.

If I had to listen to christmas music all day I'd go nuts. My family calls me "Scrooge" and "the Grinch" for not liking Christmas. The thing is I don't dislike Christmas, but everybody starts getting ready for it so early that by the time it comes I'm tired of it. The good thing about them thinking I dislike Christmas is I get some good gag gifts out of it, my favorite is a black Santa hat that says Bah Humbug.
