- CapitalistCartr 11y agoGod bless y'all. I wish the American radio stations, malls, stores, etc. didn't feel the need to do so for five weeks.
- a3n 11y agoI lose one of my favorite stations during those five weeks. Harumph.
- batiudrami 11y agoWe definitely get it in shopping centres (it's in retail's best interest, after all), but radio stays largely the same over the Christmas period.
- slyall 11y agoIn NZ the stations don't go "All Christmas" but they do play a lot of Christmas Music. The easy-listening station in my local cafe was probably play 50% Christmas music for the last 2 weeks. "Snoopy's Christmas" is the local cult Christmas song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-hWZGIWe_U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-hWZGIWe_U
- bcook 11y agoIt is what listeners, customers, etc want to hear. Welcome to the minority. I am from the Southern US, so I know exactly what you feel since I do not like country, gospel, or Bible sermons. You won't hear me bitching though, because I know I am in the minority.

- bcook 11y agoDoes it matter? I say this as an atheist who enjoys Christmas. Wacky holidays are fun. Krampus is kinda strange though.
- coldtea 11y ago>I say this as an atheist who enjoys Christmas. Well, from the christmas tree to Santa Claus there's nothing much christian about christmas in the way it's celebrated in the US (and copied everywhere else too). It's mostly a shopping holiday with a Disney theme.
