"Let it Snow", "Jingle Bell Rock", "Mele Kalikimaka"!   

It's December 1st and time for a sprinkling of some of the Greatest Holiday Hits of All Time on 800 CHAB.  Are you ready for it?  Do you like it? 

I do, but I'm reading reports today that find Christmas music compounds what can be a stressful time of year for many.  One poll found 17% of shoppers actually "dislike" the Christmas music while 25% of retail staff say the inescapable Christmas tunes makes them feel less festive and some of them believe it actually dampens their emotional well-being! 

Some who took part in the poll agreed that Christmas tunes remind them of holiday-related stresses like buying presents, attending parties, gathering with relatives and meeting others' expectations. 

What's the solution for these poor people?  Maybe they should just plug in their ear buds and listen to the music of their choosing!  Right?   

Thank you.  Oh, and Happy Holidays!
