This was how I felt when working retail many years ago. I could not wait until I got home so I could take a break from haring all holiday tunes all day long. Though sometimes, I might put on my Twisted Christmas CDs by Bob Rivers, just for the humor. I still have to endure this at stores that play Christmas music all day long, though, and I dread having to be in a store for very long. I was surprised earlier this month, though, to go into Safeway and not hear all holiday songs in a row in the time was in the store. And as someone who doesn't need to get a lot of presents, I've escaped having to listen to a lot of this music while shopping.
At my current place of work, we listen to music on Youtube, and no big surprise, Our case mangers have been putting a lot of Christmas music videos, though yesterday I came in and heard Motown music playing instead. I was quite surprised by that! It was not until later that day that one of the case managers put on the holiday stuff. One reason I'm glad not to be working retail anymore.

I'm one of those sickos who just love Christmas carols, but even so, I feel sorry for retail workers at this time of year. You've got a great lineup of LOLs here!
Too much of a good thing spoils it. And Christmas music fits that category.
And that is why I hate Christmas music. 11 years at the evil toy store (now defunct). It's gotten better over the years since then, but if it's my choice, I do not put holiday music on.
I felt that way when I went back into a store Monday because what I had ordered on Saturday was in. And it was the same songs I heard on Saturday. I bet those clerks must have to wear earmuffs. :)
