    I will agree to the "personal taste" but when someone elses "taste" is blaringt at me and I am forced to listen to it, it becomes not. Especially now that the wokies, not to be confused with Wookies, have banned religious songs, and have new butchered versions of the old songs. I always return "Happy Holidays" with "Merry Christmas".

    Also "Thank you for your service" has become VERY trite, to me. It gets returned as "Don't thank me; remember those that didn't return, and vote for those that will honor them". Always takes the other person back, some will re-thank me, others, just mumble away. Sorry, didn't mean to intrude on Jesus' time.

      You can't beat Christmas Carols with full orchestra and choir.
      Christmas Songs I can do without.

        Doctor was explaining to my wife about a bone density drug she was asking about. The doctor explained it as the line from the song "Hotel California", "you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave", meaning that once you start taking it you cannot discontinue it's usage. He put her on something else.

            There was a movie, I don't remember the name; The Young Lions maybe, but they portrayed the execution of Eddie Slovak, while the music played Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas".

            REALLY, REALLY BAD TASTE. And ever since, I can't stand that song.

              Johnny Fever on the old WKRP in Cincinnati episodes once said "Christmas time, a time for good cheer and bad music".

                And bad TV. If I never see "It's a Wonderful Life" it'll be too soon.

                  My two favorites are 'Christmas in Connecticut" and "The Bishops Wife".

                    My wife watches Hallmark chick flick Christmas shows year round. This being July they are numerous now.

                    I watch TV in the bedroom these days with the CC on to get away from them. My quiet little world.

                      Marching band I'm in we get into the Christmas music some time in December. You'd be surprised how many outdoor gigs there are that time of year, I like some of the music - Santa Baby, God Rest you Merry Gentlemen, there's a medley of Joy to the World and Jeremiah the Bullfrog ... I'm a first trumpet, we carry most of the melody and a lot of it is above the staff. Cold weather is NOT kind to your chops.
