I'm not a big fan of Christmas anyway. But this 24/7 holiday music starting in the beginning of November is just overkill. They were playing it at the gift shop and the Art Institute yesterday and I had to leave. Ugh! It doesn't help that my mom took her life in the beginning of December, several years ago.
