Es ist wieder soweit...

Mit dem ersten Advent beginnt nun auch wieder die sich jährlich wiederholende Zeit des abgrundtief schlechten Musikgeschmacks: Weihnachtslieder.

In music maybe carols are the worst but in general the Christmas sales and pressure to buy junk 'for loved ones'even more disgusting. So hypocritical and does not make anyone loving or caring..or happy for that matter.

Hm, I guess in this point it's decisive what kinda place you live in.
Big city urban areas with many possibilities to shop anything are way worse than this than in a small town where those opportuinities are limited and merely the online-shopping forces this wedge into daily life.

I guess, the crap with shopping disturbs me less than the Christmas carols, kitschy decoration and scenary and silly reklama. The latter things disturb me if I want them to or not, materially they're there anyway, they're even there when I only need to shop groveries, while opening my wallet for anything else is something I'm in control of. If I refuse to let the money change its bearer, then nothing happens, no troubles or feeling disturbed get started.

Oh, I thought you meant songs by carols. The Christmas decorations also bother me a lot. They start lights and trees and everything early and it is even worse. Looks like people try to brighten up their lives but it doesn't really work, more irritates.

Brightening up their lives - yeah, that's what it seems like.

Ths year - as soon as the first advent was there, all the chains of lights and such stuff popped up in nearly every front garden in the windows of flats.
Like it's a freaking competition who's the first to do it... or who puts up more lights.
