Yes, it is true! About this time of year I start to hate Christmas but not for the reasons you may think. Yes, I am and atheist so the religion is of no interest but it is a grand family occasion and I love that. No my problem is with the shops.
For reasons I have no knowledge of, supermarkets that have no background music during the year, start to play Christmassy music, usually not carols but songs like 'White Christmas' and, of course the 'Don't they know it's Christmas' . In my local supermarket they started before the beginning of December as the Xmas (easier typing) lights were turned on and so on. The thing is, it is not background music it is pretty much 'in your face'. Now for one who shops before 9am and mostly before waking, this is a bit too much.
Well, sorry to sound like a Scroooge but I'm not really. It is just I want to be able to greet people in the shop and hear what they say. It's not long to go now, though and straight after Xmas we will be back to normal if not a bit heavier from eating too much turkey!
