music Do you like Christmas music?

[Hierok 11,831]

This is my favourite christmas song. It's just so good. 

And of course the 2014 one, which is not as good, but it still has Bono and Seal which makes a lot right.

It's okay, but when it's played everywhere all the time during the season I tend to avoid listening to it and keep on listening to the stuff I listen to.

And sometimes find a metal version of christmas songs just for fun.

No. I hate Christmas music with a burning passion. Which also really sucks because my fiancé LOVES Christmas music.

so you can bet your sweet tush we constantly go back and forth on this. I loathe his taste in music, but my god Christmas music literally makes me want to rip my ears off.

[Tacodidra 61,199]

Not all of it but I do like some Christmas songs, especially the more modern ones. I don't hate the older Christmas carols, but the happier and faster songs feel more Christmasy to me (I guess that's because I'm not very quiet myself ).

As for Christmas songs being overplayed, I guess that's true during the holiday season. But at least it's only then, a lot of other songs are played all the time throughout the year.

I love traditional Christmas Carols. The older the better, especially the deep and understated ones.  

[Prospekt 11,018]

I love the older Christmas carols and the stuff from the first half of the 20th century. I just can't stand the majority of newer Christmas pop music.

[Here No Longer 5,276]

Can't stand most of it for too long at all, though Bob Rivers made some really funny Christmas-y parodies My dad used to tune in to him a good bit back when we lived in Washington state.

 

Probably the best example:

It plays regularly in my house after Thanksgiving. My personal favorite is this ... 

The tradition is that Elle Fitzgerald's version kicks off the Christmas spirit as we decorate the tree. First song every year since 1998.

[Will Guide 21,360]

I especially love the songs that were given an official MLP cover version in the album, "It's a Pony Kind of Christmas", as well as an original song, "Last Year I Got Coal for Christmas" 

Especially since a few years ago, Daga Yemar made PMV on all 10 songs, using footage up to the end of Season 5

I hardly pay attention to it. I dunno, I think it's because Christmas soured on me years ago

Basically...

Less of this:

 

More of this:

 

And this is pretty good too, since it's still very much in a classical arrangement:

Christmas is the only time of year I'd keep the radio on. The folk Christmas songs are nice to listen to and the more international songs tend to be those timeless classics. Wonderful! 

[Woohoo 34,251]

I have mixed feelings about Christmas music. While there are a few songs I enjoy, most I absolutely hate. What I hate most is the constant overplaying of these songs.

[Dreambiscuit 9,874]

I love Christmas music. I don't care for most modern pop versions of it, some of which make some vague reference to a snowman or a Christmas tree and thus is considered a Christmas song. I lean more to the traditional (anything from the 1500s to early 1960s and a few others) My favorites are The Wexford Carol, O Holy Night and Carol of the Bells.

I like any seasonal music, whether it's spooky fun music for Halloween/Nightmare Night, or the soft cheery music of Christmas/Hearths Warming Eve, the music of the seasons and holidays is what makes them special and fun, and all around unique from the rest of the normal year. My all time favorite piece of holiday music would be "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas"    

[Retro*Derpy 3,186]

I'm not very festival, I usually pass on Christmas music if I can.

[BlueStreak98 828]

Christmas music is like polka music; 99.9% of it is horrible and should be destroyed, but the stuff that is good is awesome.

I really like Christmas music to tell you the truth. It's when they play it all the time that's the problem. Maybe part of it that I just like Christmas in general 

[Roughtek 54]

No, I hate it, starts to early in the year, and when its close to Christmas time, It's at a point where it needs to stop

 

[Lunar Glow 676]

I love Christmas music, mostly because of the nostalgia is brings in me...it’s so soothing and comforting even if it’s upbeat. It puts me back next to the Christmas tree in the dark, the only lights the glow of the tree reflecting on the ornaments. Ah, yes, Christmas music is lovely

[TBD 17,254]

Of course I do but not the ones when artists modernized it into pop music. It's kills the vibe. 

[DixonTheAdversary 1,632]

Only when it is appropriate. Christmas music in my opinion is only appropriate from the day after Thanksgiving to Christmas.

I'll let Thor answer this one for me
