It’s begun

This evening, FM 102.1 began 24/7 Christmas music. It’s the most wonderful time of the year…to have a music streaming service instead of radio. Stations used to at least wait for Thanksgiving. Now we get to hear Porky Pig sing Blue Christmas two weeks earlier. Yay.

@chariotoflove Ugh, I hate that shit

@chariotoflove
I thought Christmas was cancelled this year...

The annual subscription auto refills if you don’t cancel in time.

@chariotoflove The station that does it in Chicago, started on November 3rd this year. It's bullshit.

For real? How is there not an FCC regulation against that? Time to call our congressmen.

Ahhh...that's a pain especially since I've already strangled the Elf.

[Shop-Teacher]

@chariotoflove For real. It definitely should be illegal.

Creepy little fucks. Should have put ours in the Halloween display. That’s where it belongs.

@chariotoflove
I know someone who modified a knock off Elf so that its head span around...in case you are looking for display ideas for next year.

[beefchips]

@chariotoflove the irony is that on satellite radio there’s probably a station that plays exclusively christmas music, year round

[Chariotoflove]

@beefchips
Yeah, on any streaming service too.

[Chariotoflove]

@silentbutnotreallydeadly
Good idea. I need one that turns into a deadite when you look at it.

@chariotoflove I am more than happy to blast my own music this time of year.

@chariotoflove

As I’ve said before, there is no Christmas music allowed in my house until December 1. I despise that radio stations and malls etc start playing holiday music so early. Once I started listening to Spotify I stopped listening to the radio and haven’t missed it at all.

[Mark Tucker]

@chariotoflove There's only like four or five decent Christmas albums anyway.

1 - Johnny Mathis

Fight me

[Mark Tucker]

@ike808 That one's not bad. My list would be:
Beach Boys
Burl Ives (favorite of my mom's when I was little, gives me the warm fuzzies)
John Denver & the Muppets (funny as hell)
A Very Special Christmas
Rob Halford

And once a year I have to listen to Christmas In The Stars just to remember how awful it is.

[ike808]

@mark-tucker Yes - this

A Very Special Christmas
Rob Halford

Beach Boys - no, no, no

[Old Busted Hotness]

I wonder how many suicides are directly attributable to the forced jollity of excessive Christmas music. YOU WILL BE JOLLY! SMILE GODDAMMIT! BE FUCKING MERRY! Eat me.

It's like being marched in formation to look at a sunset. For two months every year, I'm glad I'm 80% deaf.

[JeepOfTheseus]

@chariotoflove A few years ago my wife’s siblings and cousins all made a Christmas album for the family as a gift. One of the cousins has a studio and did it all up very professionally. Unfortunately only two people in the family can actually sing. The whole thing was meant to be a gag but my mother in law blasts that album throughout their house. It’s terrible.

@chariotoflove

I have to stare at this bullshit whenever I'm in the office having lunch. THE WAR ON CHRISTMAS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL CHRISTMAS ENDS IT'S ILLEGAL OCCUPATION OF NOVEMBER.

[Chariotoflove]

@jeepoftheseus
Unintended consequences are always the best gag!

[Chariotoflove]

@bloody-the-resident-shitposting-saffer
Wow. That’s rubbing it right in your face alright.
