Or it puts a smile on my wife’s and kids face.

And who wants to put up decorations when there’s 3 feet of snow and it’s -20c out.

Let other people have joy in the little things, doesn’t hurt you.

The music absolutely does hurt.

Yeah I try to drive as much as possible so I get the radio. That way it’s only one or two.

Radio? I'm talking about every business that has speakers in the ceiling.

I hate to say it, but how can it be precious if it is not special? You could have Christmas decorations and music all year round, but then nobody would smile because there would be no special time anymore with which it'd be associated.

Edit: Additionally, if it is not in anticipation of something special, the flashiness just becomes plain annoying.

I could have Christmas up all year, but than it loses it magic.

It’s from after Halloween, to new years.

What’s magic to someone else won’t be magic to you, don’t shit on other peoples happiness just to make you happier. That’s what’s destroying this world.
