At a store that had a motion activated Christmas tree that moved and played some completely annoying song every time a customer walked up to put items on the counter. I made a comment about how annoying it was and she almost burst into tears and begged me to tell the manager that. I took the batteries out and threw them in the trash before I left the store. The clerk was giggling.

I love to spread Christmas cheer!

doesn't start the X-Mas music until Black Friday. I'm hoping they'll pry open their wallets this year and at least give us a decent selection; there's only so many bad cover versions a person can take.

... of classic Christmas songs on their Christmas albums (and they can be heard
multiple times without going over-the-edge).

Sure, Limbaugh is a big fan of Mannheim Steamroller, but that's no more damning
of their music than Chris Christie's self-proclaimed "Springsteen's Greatest Fan" is
an indictment of The Boss' music.

They'll aim at the lowest common denominator -- and they'll know the customers PROBABLY
won't be there long enough to be bothered -- and screwge those damned employees... they
can just leave and find a more employee-centric job, eh?

I can stand to listen to are Aqua Teen Hunger Force's and South Park's holiday albums. Anything else makes me angry and I have to listen to a lot of heavy metal to calm down...

And the angels knew it was so because the baby already looked Godly with the long gray beard, which babies don't have. Also the baby could probably shoot laser beams from his diaper. I'm not saying that happened, but lo, I'm not saying it didn't happen. But it probably happened.

You'll be singing The Kinks' Father Christmas everywhere you go.

Two weeks later it'll be Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo.

You'll end with Christmastime in Hell.
