Sorry if I started this out on a bad note...

No problem. You know, I forgot the smiley myself.

Mainly I was using your point to talk about what I love about the Main Street Electrical Parade theme. Everyone has different tastes.

I think the nature of this thread is kind of a gripe session anyway. Someone is bound to gripe about SOMETHING that someone else likes.

Back on topic, what's my Christmas gripe?

I like the things most people probably hate about christmas. I love the crowds, the malls, the whole crazy mess of it all. I'll keep my gripe to the music department as well.

Paul McCartney. I love you, man. You're the best thing to happen to music in my lifetime. But "Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time" blows.

About july every year, I finally get the repeating loop of the chorus out of my head. I time my enjoyment of the holiday season by how late in the year I first hear that song.

Sorry Paul, but you wrote a song surpassed only by "it's a small world" as a brain-addling earworm.

Next time, not so many repetitions in a song, thanks!
