I don't know who is fighting this "war on Christmas" but they are clearly losing.

You haven't felt true pain until you've been forced to listen to 12 Days of Christmas by The Bird and the Bee a minimum of 4 times a day

I’m not clicking that link… care to explain the experience?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I prefer the version by The Muppets. It’s the most tolerable version I’ve come across.

I’m going back to work tonight after a few days off. There better not be Christmas music playing. I work in retail, though. I think I’m screwed.

Edit: just got to work. No Christmas songs! Yay!

Is watching LOTR Extended editions a Christmas tradition in your fam also?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I’m trying to convince my wife to start this tradition! Maybe one day.

We usually stick to the millennial classics + new Gen Alpha solid movies though.

Elf, Santa Clause | Arthur Christmas, This Christmas etc.

I'm sitting here suffering to Mariah Carey right now. TRUST ME, it's not over yet :)

Still...soon...soon.

In my household the Fairytale of New York is never over

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Used to feel more like the Ballad of Cuchullain. Then we got older and somewhat soberer.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Was? This is not over, this is still happening, right now!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

We can go back to regular music in these long, cold, and dark days. Yay?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Listening to Christmas music well into January is normal and everyone does it… right? gulp Right, guys?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

No one who's ever worked retail will.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

The last day of Christmas (12th day) is January 6th, so yes. Also known as Epiphany or Three Kings Day.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Nah, it'll still be played until after the new year. I won't go into any retail establishment until then.
