I say be grateful the "Christmas in the Northwest" CD is missing from the playlists. It played nonstop in the Ikea store in Kent a few years ago and made the experience of shopping there even more maddening than usual. And I didn't seem to be the only one irritated by it. Sorry, but it's as much fun as listening to karaoke. If you aren't related to the performers, it gets old real fast.
One way I've been enjoying Christmas tunes is to delve into retro material from online sites. Fun stuff from the 1920s thru the 1950s that you might have heard in a movie, or never before. Some of it on CD collections from other countries, too. That, plus the sometimes naughty Christmas blues stuff that "race" artists released 90 years ago. Puts a little kick in your Kris Kringle.
