I'm guessing it's 104.5. I actually took them off my presets in my car.
I have one right down the road that put their lights up on Saturday. He was blatantly drunk while he was doing it, and to make matters worse, was singing horrible christmas carols while being drunk

Yep, it was 104.5 that I was referring to when I started this (which was almost 2 weeks ago!). Not a station I normally listen to and I only discovered it because my wife pointed it out to me .... one of those "you're not going to believe this" moments. I've got no idea how long they were actually doing it BEFORE we stumbled across it.
IMO retailers should be banned from putting out anything Christmas, radios shouldnt be allowed to play Christmas music.... no TV Christmas commercials ....until the day after Thanksgiving.....

I used to wake up to a particular Providence radio station. They lost me last year when they went to Christmas music 24/7 the day after Thanksgiving. They never got me back..... I wake up to a different radio station now....

sounds like an accident waiting to happen
You have no idea how hard I was hoping while I was outside watching him. I could only get so lucky.

Except for kids, and I DO understand why people love Christmas, but for some reason, it just always bums me out. I guess I've just never had a "perfect" one as an adult, unlike when Santa hung my ballerina costume on the back of the tree when I was little. I looked back there every year after that. My mom and dad wouldn't let me wear it to church like I wanted---maybe THAT's my problem!

I do know what you mean and most of my Christmas memorys are not great. I work very hard not to get the Holiday Blues..
If you wanna keep happy during the holidays---NEVER NEVER NEVER work a season in retail. You will hate the holidays forever, hence the reason I do.
Though I do have a funny story.
Few years ago my mom wanted to go out early day after thanksgiving. I told her if she needed me to, I would go with her.
Inside Target, this couple probably in thier late 30s were buying stuff for thier kids. They had 3 carts full of CRAP, and yes I mean CRAP that the poor kids would probably give back. The husband goes to the wife and asks her how bout this one toy for the kids, she yells at him---HOW MUCH IS THAT.
I simply walked past and said, Like it F*^&ing matters lady you have 3 carts full of crap. My mother could not belive I said it, she was laughin her ass off, as was everyone else in ear shot of me.

See you're not a Scrooge if you go out shopping Black Thursday! (Is that what it's called?) ...and w/ your mom...that's ADORABLE. I even get an almost 2-week Christmas break, and it STILL makes me sad. ME, ME, ME.....poor Connie!

No reason why I went was cause she said she would take me out to breakfast to Cracker Barrel, and I had a taste for some Country Fried Steak, esp after a total crap meal my aunt served on thanksgiving.

Wife worked 6 Christmas Seasons
We both still love Christmas, and as a matter of fact put up the tree tonight

I think it depends on the person. When I worked retail I worked in the mall so it was real convient to do Christmas shopping plus all those extra hours made for a nice paycheck. However, all those long hours did take away from the majic of the season. I dealt with too many grumpy mean people too. Thankfully I didn't have to cook "the meal" or even have a holiday party that year. In fact I didn't even get to go to a holiday party. For me, it ruined the holiday season and it was a few Christmases after before I could get back into the spirit. For the past 5 years my Christmases have been very quiet - usually me and my son so I really didn't get into it much. We put up a tree and did all the Christmas stuff but not to any great extreme. I'm pushing myself to get into the spirit this year - so far it's not working.
Well...(said in my best Bubba voice) I've been on sabbatical.
