Imagine if you will the following scenario...Me: "I finished putting together the songs for our annual Christmas CD." (note: We give a CD to our friends and family every year instead of a Christmas Card...It's pretty sweet this year if I say so myself.)
My Dear Husband: "Oh that's nice. You do such a good job at that."
Me: "I really want you to listen to the songs. When we get home do you want to listen to it with me?"
MDH: "That's okay. I trust you. I think you did a good job last year."
Me: "Yeah, but don't you want to hear what I picked?"
MDH: "No, I trust you."
Me: "Yeah, but I'd like to see what you think since it's from you just as much as it is from me. Besides you vetoed some songs I picked last year"
MDH: "Well, I know you better than I did last year and I know your picks will be just fine."
Me: "Well how 'bout I make you a copy of the CD and you can listen to it while you're out running errands this afternoon?"
MDH: "Mmmmm....nah...that's okay."
Me: "What? Why not?"
MDH: "I don't really like to listen to that much Christmas music."
Me: "What the...?"
MDH: "Yeah, it's just a little too much cheerfulness for me..."
Me: "Holy crap I married a Scrooge!"
MDH: "NO! I'm just saving myself for Wednesday and Thursday..."
Me: "Whatever...you're a Scrooge..."

i used to HATE Christmas music. now i can tolerate it. somewhat. its not the cheerfulness. it is the annoyingness.
Wow! You should've married my husband.
so funny :) I love the CD, by the way, and I can always use some extra cheer- thanks!
I am with you Em - you can never listen to too much Christmas music. It sets the entire mood of the season for me. I listen from Thanksgiving weekend to new years day. I wait with great anticipation each year to put in the first cd. Here's to us!!! PS I would listen to your cd!!
Maybe it's a guy thing....Keith hates it when I crank the x-mas tunes before December. But, I can't help it.
I LOVE your Christmas CD!
I like Christmas music too but since I am not really a listener of music and I forget to turn it on until it's too late and then I just want to veg on the couch and watch tv. Thanks for the CD, that is a nice Christmas card.
I think it is definitely a guy thing, although Garrett loves Christmas music. Transibian is what he likes. As for me I haven't had the time this year to even think about turning it on. I'm going to have to get my Christmas ready in the summer before the fall semester so I can enjoy it a bit more. This year I'm a bit of a bah humbug.
some day he will come around...I am sure of it!
I'd listen to it if you sent me one.
Hey girlie!
Thanks for sending me a CD! I love it! It is a great idea to send those instead of cards.
