Or it puts a smile on my wife’s and kids face.
And who wants to put up decorations when there’s 3 feet of snow and it’s -20c out.
Let other people have joy in the little things, doesn’t hurt you.
The music absolutely does hurt.
Yeah I try to drive as much as possible so I get the radio. That way it’s only one or two.
Radio? I'm talking about every business that has speakers in the ceiling.
And I was talking about what I personally do for my family.
You know you could always just put your own music on some earbuds or something as well, yeah?
Yeah dude, I'm totally going to put earbuds in every time I walk into a business. Absolutely.
You know exactly why everyone hates early Xmas bs.
What’s stopping you? Someone told you that it’s impolite? Next time you go shopping, look how many people have earbuds or headphones on. It’s not this taboo thing.
Yeah no one enjoys it shoved down their throat, but you can also do a modicum of things instead of bitching about it either. It’s pretty easy to ignore this stuff actually.
I hate to say it, but how can it be precious if it is not special? You could have Christmas decorations and music all year round, but then nobody would smile because there would be no special time anymore with which it'd be associated.
Edit: Additionally, if it is not in anticipation of something special, the flashiness just becomes plain annoying.
I could have Christmas up all year, but than it loses it magic.
It’s from after Halloween, to new years.
What’s magic to someone else won’t be magic to you, don’t shit on other peoples happiness just to make you happier. That’s what’s destroying this world.
November Christmas music does cause me physical pain thanks
Okay I will say I forgot about that, that’s a drivers rules thing, if I’m driving maybe one or two, but if the wife’s driving it’s her radio unfortunately.
