It’s not just Christmas music. It’s all the music in public places that you can’t get away from, all year round. When was the last time you ate in a restaurant where there was just silence?
Most good things, like listening to music, are better if you don’t have to do them all the time.
I was curious one time at Friendly’s, and asked one of the youthful employees how they felt about hearing 50s-60s doo-wop all day long. They seemed resigned to it, like it could have been worse. That was the first place where I heard that there was one hour of music that they heard over and over. Probably a CD on repeat.

Pity the young folks who work in retail and fast food. It usually seems that the music they hear is the same every day, and it’s on a one-hour loop.
