Hanging in there. Better than the alternative.

Well, there's also the fact that I can't stand that kind of music.. And heavy metal all season would be terribly refreshing.

Wow, really? I know lots of people who have complained about it.

Most of the people I know complain about having to be carefull about wishing people Merry Christmas or even a Happy Holloween, and have to call things "Holliday Partys" or "Fall and Winter Parties".

Then again, there aren't a lot of non-christian other religion practicing people that I know and regularly assosiate with, and most of those just ignore it, and say it doesn't bother them.

I'd be perfectly happy with non-stop country music year round. :D
"She left me and took my truck and my dog" = Ultimate Country Song.

I should go write it...

(Last I checked, Christmas wasn't about the material, it was about friends, family and joy and happiness and sharing with those less fortunate).
I thought it was about Jesus. I agree with you on what it is about.

It's already been written.

David Allen Coe Lyrics - You Never Even Called Me By My Name Lyrics

It was all that I could do to keep from cryin'
Sometimes it seems so useless to remain
You don't have to call me darlin', darlin'
You never even call me by my name.

You don't have to call me Waylon Jennings
And you don't have to call me Charlie Pride.
You don't have to call me Merle Haggard, anymore.
Even though your on my fightin' side.

CHORUS
And I'll hang around as long as you will let me
And I never minded standin' in the rain.
You don't have to call me darlin', darlin'
You never even call me by my name.

I've heard my name a few times in your phone book
I've seen it on signs where I've laid
But the only time I know, I'll hear David Allan Coe
Is when Jesus has his final judgement day.

CHORUS...

Well, a friend of mine named Steve Goodman wrote that song
and he told me it was the perfect country and western song.
I wrote him back a letter and told him it was NOT the perfect
country and western song because he hadn't said anything about
Momma, or trains, or trucks, or prison, or gettin' drunk.

Well, he sat down and wrote another verse to the song and he sent
it to me and after reading it, I realized that my friend had written
the perfect country and western song. And I felt obliged to include it
on this album.

The last verse goes like this here:

Well, I was drunk the day my Mom got outta prison.
And I went to pick her up in the rain.
But, before I could get to the station in my pickup truck
She got runned over by a damned old train.

CHORUS
So I'll hang around as long as you will let me
And I never minded standin' in the rain. No,
You don't have to call me darlin', darlin'
You never even call me, I wonder why you don't call me
Why don't you ever call me by my name.

Still no dogs. Dog + Truck + Loosing Woman = Country Song.

I always thought Joe Diffie's Pickup Man was a great country song. Of course, the loosing was implied by the line in the chorus "I met all my wives in traffic jams".

I'm an atheist, and I don't have a problem with any of the songs for the most part, as I think that holiday spirit can be a good thing in general, but there are a few of the carols that get heavily religious that I really don't like. I was pissed in high school French class where the teacher made us sing along with friend songs like "Il est né le divin enfant" (which means The divine child is born, and it goes on to say stuff more intolerant stuff) But Jingle Bells or Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer? No problem.

John Deere Green is still my fav from Joe but Pickup Man is good.
