Me too. But, in fairness, that's my instinctive reaction to any Christmas music being played in a store.

Wait, what are you doing in a store at Christmas? :-)

Well, it's after the ides of October, so I daren't venture into retail until January.

I feel your use of the "ides of October" somehow reflects well on me. And "daren't" is so quaint. Perhaps we are kindred spirits.
