Reply #35: I used to hate xmas music

[kayell]

I worked in a store that started playing it on thanksgiving and didn't stop. Then later, when I used to shop in malls, it was endless, the same damn things over and over. And yes, it seemed to produce that trained responce to buy and associate the music with the commercial holiday. Also, since I'm not christian (although I enjoy the holiday, after all most cultures have a winter holiday), the really religious stuff annoyed me.

Nowadays though, since I haven't been in a mall, or Walmart, or places like that for years, I've started enjoying the music again. I put on my first holiday album today and my granddaughter and I danced around the room to it. Then we sorted through some of the tree ornaments. Tonight I am making my gift making list to some celtic holiday music.
