One of the most annoying things in all the world is how Christmas tends to rampage over half of a calendar year. No longer content with throttling Thanksgiving, Christmas has steadily encroached on Halloween's territory. Now I'm not the biggest Halloween fan mind you. Sure, candy and dressing up are all fun and games, but it's more of fun and games for kids. Give me good old fashioned getting fabulous cash and prizes any day of the week.
What's even worse is the Christmas music. It's good for what it is, but no sane human could possibly listen to as much Christmas music as the Christmas Musicistas are pushing these days. KOSY 106.5 in Salt Lake has moved to an all-Christmas music format. They started on Halloween (you know, when other stations play Halloween music) and plan to play it for the rest of eternity. Seriously. How many different versions of "Jingle Bells" can you listen to before either grabbing a rifle and picking people off from a bell tower or adding to the higher holiday suicide rate? Even when you get every version that every artist in the history of music recorded of those songs, you still end up hearing the same version at least twice a day. Why do these stations do it? After KOSY went over to their all-crappier-than-usual-all-the-time mix, Star 96.7 pulled the trigger and I'm sure FM-100 isn't far behind. Can't I have some non-Christmas music stations here in Salt Lake please? It's not too much to ask.
Well, at least I have that Mexican music station that's not on the Christmas cycle yet.

Yeah, almost everything about Christmas sucks anymore, except family, presents, and ward Christmas party.
