Rant of the Day: Holiday Tunes before Thanksgiving!?

Ok, I'm all for listening to Christmas music all year long...intermittently. My favorite radio station in Rexburg usually plays a great variety of music, kind of like Pirate Radio in Bakersfield. Then all of a sudden, as soon as it is no longer Halloween, time seems to skip two whole months. They jump right over November, my brothers' birthdays, and Thanksgiving, and skip right to Christmas. All day, every day, from now until January 1st, three of the radio stations that usually play nice listening tunes are only going to play Christmas-related stuff. It would be semi-ok if they played every single Christmas song ever recorded, because there's enough that they would probably never have to repeat any one song from now until January 1st. But no, they play the same renditions of Jingle Bells and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Frosty the Snowman multiple times a day, and there's only so many times you can hear any one song before you start throwing things at the radio and calling them with requests for something...ANYTHING else.

EDIT: That reminds me...Troy's birthday is on the 6th. Crap! I'd better hurry and get his card in the mail!
