...with the exception of a very few songs, I really just can't stomach Christmas music. DH thinks I'm acting like the Grinch because every time one comes on the radio, I have an immediate negative visceral reaction and have to turn the station. *seriously* About 95% of them seriously make me nauseas and on edge. My heart rate even increases. I don't hate Christmas, but it is a stressful time, at work and personally. I can't help but roll my eyes when I see the decorations go up in stores the day after Halloween...
I can't remember when I became so averse to listening, but I do know working in retail pharmacies didn't help... as they played nonstop 24/7 (for me, that meant at least 10 hours every day I worked). Also, patients/customers generally act the worst during this time as well. Maybe they're stressed... who knows? But add the attitudes with the nonstop Christmas music, and I'm basically miserable. Every now and then, a song I can tolerate will come on to ease the "pain," but those are few and far between.
I saw these memes posted on a group pharmacist FB page recently, and I just wondered if anyone else is like me. ...or if I am truly the Grinch. LOL
