Hate for Christmas music and Other Ways to Go Insane Around the Holidays
There has been some debate and conversation lately over what is too early to start listening to Christmas music.
If you don’t like, ho-ho-ho hold on to your hats for a radical theory … change the station and move on, folks!
The staff here at N-H DotComedy hears from fans, friends and family all the time. Yes, we get to deal with the “F-Words” a lot, and not in the way you might all guess.
Is it a bit much for a local radio station to start playing Christmas songs non-stop before Thanksgiving? Perhaps. Do we need to hear about Mommy kissing Santa Claus four weeks before Tom Turkey gets hunted down, plucked, cooked and lands on your plate? Maybe.
Our point is, what is the big deal? Sorry, with so much else going on in the world, is the programming of WDOK or WMJI or WXMAS or WWHYSOANGRY or any other station in Cleveland so problematic that we all have to send letters to senators, President Obama and Santa Claus complaining?
In this day and age with Sirius, XM, Ipods the Internets, and, um, a knob or button to simply go to another channel, is this really that big of a deal?
If the sound of “Jingle Bells” drives you to the edge of Jack the Ripper madness, listen to Metallica instead. Hate that “The 12 Days of Christmas” is on at 12 noon on a Wednesday? Pop in a CD or a book on tape.
It’s the holiday season, be festive not violent. Please.
We agree that your Fourth of July party shouldn’t be set off with a techno version of “Silent Night”. There is nothing rocking or redeeming by hearing Bruce Springstreen belting out “Santa Claus in Coming to Town” on St. Patrick’s Day. There has to be limitations to some of this Christmas music, sure.
But as long as Black Friday or Christmas Eve are on the radar, who is it hurting that a couple of Cleveland radio stations have chosen to go all Yule, all the time?
It's the holiday season, the holiday season. So whoop-de-do, and hickory dock, and don't forget, the Burl Ives is on the clock. Folks, change the channel and stop complaining, it really isn't that big of a deal.
Got a problem with that? Take it up with Santa Claus … he’ll be tuned into a Cleveland radio station on his sleigh ride into Lake County, no doubt.
