So now that Thanksgiving is in the rear view mirror, it's time to start playing some Christmas music on the station. I'm wondering how long it will take me to turn into Scrooge.
And no, I will NOT be playing Wham's "Last Christmas". My show is a Whamaggedon-free zone.
I'm not a fan of Christmas music due to working 20+ years in retail, but I love Little Drummer Boy, specifically, Neil Diamond's version.

Being force fed anything makes you gag ;)
I remember enjoying little drummer boy when I was also a little boy myself though.
Maybe I identified with the little boy part :) and my Mom had this Hummel on the shelf :)
Cool Hummel. I think my MIL gave hubby the same one.
I love Little Drummer Boy because it's calming. Retail is chaos this time of year...stores play Christmas music intended to amp up customers to keep them shopping. So, when I did listen to Christmas music after work, (hardly ever), on my 1.5 hour drive to go 6 miles, I listened to mellow Christmas songs.
Thank God those retail days are behind me and online shopping is a thing. 😆
@GaryPoole Slip in plenty of novelty songs! "The Night Santa Went Crazy" is a good one to see if anyone is paying attention. 🤣 Sadly, you couldn't play that anymore.
@Graci @GaryPoole "I Am Santa Claus!"
@DavidKMresists I love the Bob Rivers Christmas stuff. 😂
@GaryPoole there is a really funny video. It's not made by him, but I'm not sure who it was made by.
Should probably avoid Mariah Carey too. Many years of Christmas songs on a loop while shopping, (or working), has given folks ample time to figure out what she wants for Christmas. 🙄😂
@JoyfullyDazed Maria Carey is the Terminator of Christmas music: that song can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop... ever.
"I want a hippopotamus for Christmas"
@GaryPoole
Ha! I see you are not entirely Wham free. Only Wham Xmas free. ;)
@GaryPoole
Stick with the classics!
For me, that's Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses,
Non-stop, round the clock!
