  I honestly hate the vast majority of Christmas music. And I’ve never worked retail. God I feel awful for anyone who had to work that sector between November and January.

  Last Christmas gets a pass though. I kinda love Wham

    It's weird, I had to work retail with some of the crappiest elevator christmas music ever. A lot of folks complained about the music. But, I play the piano and I actually love to play those pieces at this time of year! I mean yes, they're over done and way over played on the radio and TV, but when you're the one making the music, it makes all the difference in how you feel about it.

      Playing the music and being subjected to it are totally different. I played guitar and trumpet in my youth and doing Christmas music for the school and the town parade were always a blast. But now that I’m a jaded adult…lol

      Getting my guitar out and figuring out new songs is still a lot of fun, even if I’m kind of terrible at it.

        Well I'm far from the world's greatest piano player. I stopped taking lessons about the intermediate-early advanced stage. So I can play some fairly advanced music, in fact I prefer more complicated or creative takes on the Christmas classics. But it is different from just being a passive listener.

        I hope you get to find time with the guitar these days - I always wanted to learn to play classical guitar, it's so cool to have that as a hobby!

      It’s especially fun to learn the old ones, because they usually have really complicated jazz chord progressions. You just don’t notice because the melody is so strong

  I don't hate the song, but it is obnoxious and actually has a terrible message. As long as you can do something great, it doesn't matter if other people exclude or hate you for being who you are.
