My entite opinion on Disney world was formed on my one trip that was over Chirstmas/New Years about 20 years ago. If the crowds don’t get you, the incessant Christmas music on repeat even after Christmas will. Absolute nightmare.
When I was a little kid, my family used to listen to the “Sing Along With Mitch” Christmas album. It came with sheets of lyrics so everyone could sing along with Mitch, and dad. Hearing classic Christmas music brings back fond memories, not so much with the contemporary songs.
One side of my family was Catholic / European Protestant. We usually spent Christmases on vacation in their area of the country (Western New York). There was ample Christmas music there, both traditional ( Silent Night, Little Town of Bethlehem, Away in a Manger, etc.) and popular classics (White Christmas, Little Drummer Boy, I’ll Be Home for Christmas, Mel Torme’s Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire), The Chipmonk Song, etc.)
The other side of the family was Southern Baptist / LDS and was mostly in Texas. We spent Easters and some special occasions with them. No particular musical association there.
Most of my family on both sides, down to the first cousin level, are gone now. Christmas music provides me a huge connection with past family memories. My late wife also liked it (though not to my degree). Our son didn’t particularly get into it. But seasonal music is an enormous part of my Decembers.
Yes but mainly older Christmas music.
Crank it up!!
It’s Christmas at Ground Zero you can’t play it on another website
For someone who doesn’t celebrate nor like Christmas, I actually enjoy many Christmas songs. Mostly the classics.

@phendrick I even allow Robert Earl Keene into the playlist…
@phendrick late edit to the above: JW not LDS.
I’m not sure why we needed the added profanity to make the point, but yes, I LOVE Christmas music! Esp. the older songs.
