Made it to Christmas this year without hearing McCartney's "Wonderful Christmastime" or _any_ Manheim Steamroller. Perhaps a first. I win!
I did hear "All I Want for Christmas Is You" and "Last Christmas" oodles and boodles, but they don't give me the same get-it-off-me-get-it-off-me-get-it-off-me-get-it-off-me-there's-a-music-wasp-on-my-sleeve reaction that happens for many others, possibly because they weren't oversaturated in my childhood Decembers as much as McCartney and Manheim were.
@schwalove I have that reaction to Elvis’ Blue Christmas. Those backup singers are just torment. 🤢
