You have these local radio stations which broadcast non-stop Christmas music 24/7 from November through December. And they make a big deal of it, like "This is WPLJ bringing you non-stop Christmas tunes all the way to Christmas" as if they've done their research and found that that's what people want. But how many people REALLY want their favorite radio stations to switch to non-stop Christmas music? I can't think of a single person, even those who enjoy Christmas. It's just horrible beyond words, like some nightmare. The media and the corporate world have absolutely ruined Christmas for me, I used to enjoy it long ago but the whole commercial ram-down-your-throat cheesiness of it all just makes me hate and despise it. It's ONE DAY of the year but they essentially stretch it out to 2 months so that by the time the day arrives, it's a pointless anticlimax.
You know how they say that looking at porn screws with your ability to enjoy real sex? Well I think it's the same with Christmas. All of this buildup is essentially Christmas porn. And when the real thing arrives on Dec 25 I just can't enjoy it.
