I totally LOVE Christmas music and I can't wait till this time every year to hear
them again ! There's a station here in New York that plays Christmas songs 24/7 starting
the day after Thanksgiving throughout Christmas day ! I LOVE getting in my car and listening to Christmas songs wherever I go ! Really awesome holiday spirit !! XD

Not much really, just a bit. The Christmas songs that I like are ones that wouldn't really get played on the radio 100 times over though.

I avoid it like a plague. It is played to death strictly to drive the retail machine. The mass merchandisers have found a way to kill any real spirit from holidays.

It is collectively some of the most beautiful music ev3er written regardless of its religious theme. it also functions similar to smell. It conjures up memories of the holiday season

103.7FM has been playing 24 hours of holiday music for a few weeks already... adn when i'm in my car, i've been listening.
I LOVE holiday songs... other than the years i've spent in retail and was forced to listen to it at work throughout the holiday season.
Growing up in choirs/madrigals/jazz choirs I sang quite a lot of holiday music and it holds a special place in my heart.

I hate Christmas music. There's nothing like coming home from elementary school on HALLOWEEN and hearing "We wish you a Merry Christmas" as soon as you open the front door and then hearing it non-stop till the 15th of January every year to ruin it for you.

My mom has every Christmas song you can imagine on CD and farther more has at least 30 different versions all from different artist for each song. She makes it a mission to listen to every single last one every year. I can't hear a Christmas song without wanting to rip my ears out.

I despise Christmas music. Despise. After 7 years of being young enough to sing it for school festivals, then old enough to play it in an orchestra. I hate it. To this day I cringe at everything...except maybe a couple hymns. Or this:

I remember a time when I would only hear it a week before xmas at the mall and then it was stopped the day after.

Now it's non-freaking-stop all the way from Nov 1st through mid Jan. WTF?

I'm American so I don't know what "Holiday" music is--but I am listening to Christmas music if that's what you mean.

Not on purpose. I heard part of a song in the stores, but that doesn't count as listening.

Christmas music makes it easier for me to get into the Spirit of the Season. My family puts the tree up Christmas weekend, and we usually decorate it and then listen to Christmas music. We have an annual Christmas Caroling Party where at least 100 people show up to drink hot chocolate, eat dinner and go around our neighborhood, bringing song and joy to many people.
Much of the music is meaningful, and it lifts my mood and soul right up. I vote yes for listening to Christmas music! :3

Sure! Christmas only comes around once a year, and doesn't last long so, yes, I'm listening to it. It's refreshing.

We put on x-mas music of every variety beginning first week of December.
I am not even Christian...lol
The winter celebrations are just a human tradition which pre-date any religious significance relating to Christianity. It's just good fun!
The December 25 "Winter solstice" is about the movement of the sun - nothing more.
Jesus is NOT the reason for the season...lol

Yeah, let's just ignore all the history between the Pagan holiday and now.

While we're at it, why not ignore the history between when America was a bunch of colonies and now? Let's pay our tributes to the British crown!

By repeating that it's a pagan holiday, that's what you're doing. You're looking at its start while ignoring ALL of its history in between then and now. Much like our country, it's changed over the years. Can't ignore history. Emperor Constantine was responsible for making it a Christian holiday (to bring unity between the pagans and the Christians of Rome) and Dickinson helped bring it back in the 1800s.

Why do you choose to ignore that?

Thanks for the info; I do not ignore it.
I just prefer to keep it real and not make the season about some false god-man.
My beliefs are rooted in a search for truth apart from Emperor Constantine's political agenda or Dickinson's motivations.
X-Mas represents the movement of the sun, and to me it's part science in addition to celebration of life, family and community.
