eeeks, no thank you
Just what the heck did Rusty say???
I think, no accounting for taste.
I can't help what I like or don't like, it just is and I figure everyone else is likewise.
One of my all time favorites. And sorry OP, but I like the McKensie Brothers.

I will be glad when Jan 1 comes around. Call me an old grouch because I am one.
It's not that I hate the songs, (except just a few like anything "chipmunk") but given they start appearing late September, I'm damn sick and tired of them by Thanksgiving. I'm saddened that now in my old age, I really don't enjoy Christmas. Overwhelming commercialism has sucked the wonder and joy right out of it.

Of a truth, I know and will not deny that there are Christmas songs that receive no lament when finished. But, that having been said, there are so many that are played for the simple appreciation of beauty, joy and celebration focused on the season, and even better, focused on Christ Jesus whose birth they celebrate. As a child and teenager I enjoyed singing the common Christmas songs heard at church and on the AM ... later FM radio. In 1976, I blundered into an overload of classical music when I followed a pretty little green-eyed girl into the University Choir room. Boom baby! I was like a deer in bright headlights! To say I was smote would be putting it mildly! Yep! Conquered on the spot by her ... and Handel's Messiah and all those other pieces of music! Three years later I married that girl! And now 45 years later, we celebrate our second Christmas retired with our own little condo. And on the bookshelf is her copy of Messiah! Mine got lost in one of our many moves. We've sung portions of it for the last almost half century! So, I am currently listening to "Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac. Next up is Walk of Life by Dire Straits. Later this afternoon ... it'll be ... you guessed it! Christmas music 2024! I'll even be strumming a few on my Martin six string. Sincerely. bruce.

What rating applies to a Senior Chief banjo player?
I work very hard to stay out of retail space from Thanksgiving to January 2. The conduct of many, along with the repeated silly music, makes me irritable. When I shop my basic goal is to get in, get what I need, and get out. Far too many people during this period dawdle, get in the way, etc. Best way to avoid looking like a cranky old guy (which does not depend on age, I was this way in my 20s) is avoid the source of irritation.
