Okay...I don't mind Christmas lights everywhere. In fact, I dig that.
I love the pot lucks and food people make. The desserts especially.
I think it's fun watching A Christmas Story for 24 hours straight (well, I don't sit there and watch it for 24 hours straight...but I catch a few minutes here and a few minutes there, and end up seeing the entire movie in the course of a week).
But, my complaint is radio stations. I think it's KYXY that does all Christmas songs. That's fine. I won't listen to it, but I can understand them wanting to do it. And it's unique.
But I don't want to hear Christmas music on 94/9 and 91X. Okay, if it's the Waitresses doing that cute Christmas song, fine. Or, the songs that fit the station format. KGB playing Father Christmas by the Kinks...in which they talk about the rich kid and the bully taking all the money. Or the Eagles bluesy song about being alone for Christmas. Or, even if it's the touching song by Greg Lake of Emerson, Lake, & Palmer. Or the one by Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull.
The Cheech & Chong bit, every radio station can play.
If 93.3 wants to play some Christmas carol sung by Beyonce Knowles, that's fine.
But don't play Santa Got Run Over by a Reindeer. Nobody over the age of 8 thinks it's funny.
Don't play Jingle Bells, or any of that. We're going to hear that crap when we go visit our aunt. When we're driving there, we want to hear some rock tunes on our car stereo.
