      I do not think they will wait to December, but they will not bring her out in full force until after Thanksgiving. Then she will be EVERYWHERE.

      • Every radio station,
      • every shopping center,
      • every grocery store,
      • parks with lit fir trees will have speakers screaming out “All I want for Christmas is you, baby (Ah, oh, ah, oh)”

      You walk into Walgreens to pick up flu medicine, and pass by ornaments like these

      You’d rather hear the Whos in Whoville singing "Fah-who foris, dah-who doris, welcome Christmas, bring your light. " than this!

          if it makes you feel any better, the US doesn’t really seem to care, commercially speaking, about Thanksgiving. As soon as Halloween is out of the way, all the turkeys take a backseat to St. Nick.

    In the 1990s, I worked at a video arcade. We had a VHS tape on a loop that we would get updated by mail once a month. It had a selection of music videos, cartoons, and other short things that no one ever paid attention to. That song was on the tape the December it came out. Because I worked a 40 hour week and we had the tape for a month and I had to hear the song once an hour, I heard it for a total of 160 times that month.

    I hate that song and Mariah Carey.

          Same here, I actually like the Maria Carey song, it’s a big happy wall of sound and she’s just pure vocal talent throughout the whole song, but it’s entirely too overplayed.

    Mariah Carey has made over $70 million from just this one song, averaging over $2 million per year since she wrote it in 1994

    Also, She’s sold over 200 million albums and has had 19 #1 singles, second only to the Beatles.

    IMO, Emotions from '91 is a damn good album, and her best

    Home Depot has had Christmas decorations out since early September. There’s a war, alright, and Christmas is the aggressor. Repetitive, banal music is just one of its weapons.

      In Canada stores put out thier merchandise the same time they put out the Halloween stuff. However, Christmas blow up displays and tree displays, instore decorations or music normally don’t get put up until after Rememberance Day (Nov 11) out of respect.

      I am really getting sick of Christmas shit being displayed and pushed in October. Quit ruining Halloween. Save that shit for Thanksgiving at least that closer to it.

      For one I say Fuck Christmas and will not celebrate it. It all capitalism bullshit only reason they keep starting so early. Soon as fall hits they start right off with the Christmas shit because I guess Halloween doesn’t have the financial draw for retail as Christmas.

        Halloween is way too soon for Christmas anything and I refuse to partake in anything Christmas until about Thanksgiving.

        I hate Christmas from the business perspective too. It’s almost all a cash grab and it’s all so fucking hollow and shallow feeling.

        I like a quiet Christmas experience. Every Christmas movie basically has the same moral. It’s the people and the time spent with them, and I try to focus on that instead of all the corporate chaos. I like the religious aspect of it too, because Jesus isn’t trying to sell me anything.

    The Picard/Q duet version has saved the song for me: https://youtu.be/3KvWwJ6sh5s?si=YfbjaTox1K6UJsIw

    Of course now I think the Carey version is just wrong. She doesn’t even try to quote Shakespeare.
