I actually willingly downloaded the entire Original Soundtrack of the Home Alone movie... can't get more chritsmassy than that! And it's in my playlist... every *~300 hours of listening* I get to listen to it again! And I don't mind one bit. It's cheerful and reminds me of the goofyness of that movie!
What I have a problem with is being force fed Christmas music on the radio, in stores, on TV and anywhere else someone can make me listen to it to the point where it's almost impossible to escape from it. If Christmas commercialism weren't shoved in my face and Christmas music only sporadically played on the radio until at most the week before Christmas I wouldn't have a problem with it.
(As it stands, I just listened to my Manheim Steamroller Christmas album today which I hardly think of as Christmas music, it's practically half chamber music.)
Come to think of it, that's probably why I like Thanksgiving so much more than I like Christmas: it's not advertised at all and not having it crammed down my throat allows me to actually look forward to it and enjoy it when it comes.
Hey, that was kind of dirty.
