*snip*There is a lot of great Christmas music by magnificent composers throughout history that we have enjoyed for centuries and will continue to do so until the Lord returns. The only pollution is atheists who come along and want to forbid what we have done traditionally for many hundreds of years, be it by radio or caroling or what have you.*snip*
poor thing.

No Christmas music anywhere public to appease black-hearted atheists like Jay!

In this country, at least so far up to now, we have freedom OF religion, not from it. If you hate it so much, get another job.
They are welcome to express their faith with their music as well. Again, its called freedom OF religion.
What if you had to listen to Buddhist chanting of some other non-Christian expression while at work all day, every day, for a month???
Remember your words should you end up working for a predominantly Muslim company that shuts the cafeteria down through Ramadan, especially when you really, really want a coffee on your afternoon break.In this country, at least so far up to now, we have freedom OF religion, not from it.

Some of us just have no love for Christmas. I'm grown up, so Christmas really isn't magical anymore, don't have my own family, and the family I have I am not very close to. Too me, Christmas is rather a stressful pain in the *** to be as straightforward as I can. Actually, I'm looking forward to New Year's Eve much more.Hearing Christmas music and being upset not only shows intolerance, it is borderline bigotry.
Whatever, I LOVE Christmas, the Lord Jesus Christ, and I love the story of my Saviour's Birth and the music of the season.

I love celebrations Christian or otherwise. If I saw Pagans celebrating that would make me smile. If they were playing music, that would be joyous!
A Jewish wedding and music would make me smile.

Though it's struck me that it seems like certain non-Christian holidays are singled out for popular acknowledgement because of their proximity to Christmas, not because of the religious significance to the people actually celebrating them.I can't speak for Jay, but for many of the others I talk to, the problem is not the Christmas music per se, but the exclusivity of the Christian religiosity. If there were Chanukah and Kwaanza and Ramadan and other kinds of music mixed in, it wouldn't be so bad. Maybe.
