Carl Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 With more radio stations cranking out holiday favorites, I started thinking about Christmas music as a percentage of my playlist, and wondering how it compares to the rest of the world. If, comparatively, I'm a humbug or a jolly elf. Here's my ideal Christmas music distribution - what's yours? December 1-6: 5% December 7-14: 10% December 15-20: 25% December 21: none (I need a break) December 22-23: 60% December 24-25: 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkstones Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 I couldn't possibly break it down into percentages, I don't pay that much attention. Usually on Christmas Eve I'll put on an Internet radio station that plays Christmas music. Otherwise, I don't really listen to it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 None, ever, if I can help it. Humbug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayzor Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 I'm a frenchman and we tend to party for a week straight from Christmas to New Year's. The music is mostly about being with family & friends rather than Christmas or New Year's specifically. I listen to it when I'm with my family for Christmas & New Year's.

Shawna Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 None, ever, if I can help it. Humbug. I concur. I like "Christmas Eve Sarajevo," "Step Into Christmas" by Elton John, and "Walkin' 'Round in Women's Underwear" by Bob Rivers. Those are all on my regular playlist. I do not have a "Christmas" playlist. I got burned out and washed down the drain on that working in retail for so many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Joe Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Right now...about 95%...some by choice. I like some Christmas music....on Christmas day however I play classical music. Fits perfectly. I love Christmas doo wop...real doo wop, mostly acapela but not exclusively. Love Christmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumboXL Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 I hate that *^¥#ked up Christmas Jingle Bells HoHoHoHoHo stuff polluting shopping malls and other public areas. Even at my office, during work hours, folks try to create atmosphere playing these *^¥# cliches. I have a copy of this cd ready on my laptop to respond to this madness: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_Wish_You_a_Metal_Xmas_and_a_Headbanging_New_Year .

miamisammy29 Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 I play "Father Christmas" by the Kinks 24 hours a day, seven days a week, beginning Dec 21 and running all the way through New Year's Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Too much Christmas music makes me very tired of it by Christmas. Of course you can't avoid it when you're out at a store or restaurantor holiday parties, but at home I only listen to it decorating the tree or opening presents. Otherwise, I don't listen to it much.

MindCrime Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 almost non existent, except for what I hear on commercials if & when I actually do watch television. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 I just discovered this song... and I absolutelly love it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 ^ That's the only Mariah Carey song I like! I listen (by choice) only for the few days before Christmas. Shopping yesterday my radio was tuned to the Christmas station, and I'll listen all evening tonight. It puts me in the spirit, but too much of a good thing is waaay too much.
