Or it puts a smile on my wife’s and kids face.

And who wants to put up decorations when there’s 3 feet of snow and it’s -20c out.

Let other people have joy in the little things, doesn’t hurt you.

The music absolutely does hurt.

Yeah I try to drive as much as possible so I get the radio. That way it’s only one or two.

Radio? I'm talking about every business that has speakers in the ceiling.

And I was talking about what I personally do for my family.

You know you could always just put your own music on some earbuds or something as well, yeah?

Yeah dude, I'm totally going to put earbuds in every time I walk into a business. Absolutely.

You know exactly why everyone hates early Xmas bs.

What’s stopping you? Someone told you that it’s impolite? Next time you go shopping, look how many people have earbuds or headphones on. It’s not this taboo thing.

Yeah no one enjoys it shoved down their throat, but you can also do a modicum of things instead of bitching about it either. It’s pretty easy to ignore this stuff actually.

Or, you could just recognize and empathize with the rest of humanity that we all hate hearing Xmas music for 3 months.

No one cares if your wife is happy, dude. We all care about shitty Xmas music. You being so defensive about such a universal thing is weird.

Empathize for something that you can just ignore…? That’s cute.

Lol and no one cares that you hate Christmas music, it’s why it’s getting worse, but you know what you can control, headphones.

Also what a terrible attitude, making other people happy is what everyone should strive to be doing, I feel sorry for the people around you. You also claim I lack empathy and than say no one cares if my wife is happy…? That’s a mighty hypocritical stance you’ve got there miserable troll. Why should I empathize for someone who won’t return it…? That makes zero fucking sense lmfao.

November Christmas music does cause me physical pain thanks

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Okay I will say I forgot about that, that’s a drivers rules thing, if I’m driving maybe one or two, but if the wife’s driving it’s her radio unfortunately.

I hate to say it, but how can it be precious if it is not special? You could have Christmas decorations and music all year round, but then nobody would smile because there would be no special time anymore with which it'd be associated.

Edit: Additionally, if it is not in anticipation of something special, the flashiness just becomes plain annoying.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I could have Christmas up all year, but than it loses it magic.

It’s from after Halloween, to new years.

What’s magic to someone else won’t be magic to you, don’t shit on other peoples happiness just to make you happier. That’s what’s destroying this world.
