Most annoying Christmas songs

These are the songs that are driving me crazy this holiday season. Especially when I'm doing a merchandising job. I don't know how the people who work with this stuff screaming in their ears all day  long survive the days....weeks....months.

 

The Jackson 5. The particular store that I work in doesn't just play one in their regular (year after year after year) rotation, they have three to four. This is the one that makes me want to bang my head against the wall.



Wow. This Beach Boys song is only a minute and a half long but it's slowly killing me. "he's the man-uh with all-uh the toys-uh." It's like they think they're an old time pentecostal preacher. Over and over for ninety horrid seconds. 

Paul McCartney's Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time has been one that I've despised for years. I can't even stand the music to it. Yuck yuck yuck. 

And the final one that I simply cannot bear to listen to, or even post for you to listen to, is Christmastime is Here. There are so many versions to it, pick one--I'll hate it. It is the most boring and depressing tune. The lyrics are nice, "Christmastime is here, happiness and cheer...." but the melody is not convincing. I want to scream, "Then be happy!!" when it plays. Ugh.

Honorable mention:
 
As soon as this one starts I just say, "No"

What are your least favorite Christmas songs?

    Thank you. I've been waiting for someone to ask me. My least favorites are...Santa Baby,
    Where Are You Christmas (I used to like this one, now it just annoys me),
    Christmas Shoes
    My honorable mention would be Happy Xmas the War is Over
    This one kind of shocks me as I love John Lennon's stuff, well, I love his stuff when he was partnered with Paul McCartney ;) but it just annoys me.

It's Not A Blessing if you Had to Sin to Get it

Pretty strong words but also very true. I once heard a man say his girlfriend was, "A gift from God."  Except she wasn't because she was still married to someone else. Glenn wiggled in and turned her head and snatched her away from her husband and children. How dare he think God had anything to do with that. He doesn't work that way. If you want His blessings then you need to walk closely with Him. He will never bless sin. He can't. He is unable to. Sin is what separates us from God.  Glenn may think he is living a blessed life as he runs on emotions and feelings but nothing like this will prosper. In the end it will lead to destruction.  It already has. The family he destroyed will never be the same.

Front Row Seat

  If you've been around me any length of time, you'll know I love having a front row seat when possible. Church. Concerts. Comedy shows. Auctions. I want to be front and center, where the action is, so I don't get distracted and miss something. I want to be part of the event and front is where it's at.  Lately I've had a front row seat to some things that I wish I could unsee. My mother's Alzheimer's diagnosis and the last year and a half of watching her slow and steady decline into a world of unknowns has taken a toll.  I tend to hold every emotion inside. Always have. I've learned -these past fifteen months or so- that this is bad for my health. Stress levels are impacting how I feel. Palpitations, and a diagnosis of "harmless" PACs, have left me trying to manage this stress. It's gotten easier but, I'll admit, I still have things shoved down inside. And then along came CDH. A diagnosis I'd not heard of before it was given to gran

I'm selling a couple of things on Craigslist. I've done this a few times before and always, the first interested parties I hear from are scammers.
