If so, why?

Selling Jesus by the pound.

Health care, war, prisons, and yes, religious feeling as well.

And let’s be honest, they are the only ones who truly benefit from laizzes faire capitalism, and the ones who monetize everything they can.

The Christmas music is on a 45 - or if you are lucky - a 90 minute loop. So you hear the same stuff over and over and over again. Everyday from now until Christmas. Now to be honest I love Christmas music even the tacky stuff, but it does get on my nerves after awhile.

My biggest complaint though is why does the loop only contain the rather tacky stuff? There is SO MUCH truly beautiful Christmas music both vocal and instrumental. Never hear that in public places.

My guess is that a study showed that happy and upbeat music induces people to buy more.

We had to put up the Christmas Shop in August and decorate the whole store by Thanksgiving. Then it was all torn down in one day. All we heard from customers was how awful it was to start so early, like we had any say in the matter.

I used to love to decorate my own house and tree and that experience killed home decorating for years and years.

republicans get their way lol
