I can also choose not to play certain "irritating" Christmas albums like "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer" and anything by Bob Rivers. I can just not put them on my iPod and pretend I don't have them. In the old day, people would go through my Christmas compilation albums and say "I want to hear this" and "I want to hear that". Now they can only choose from among songs that are not annoying to me.
I'm glad you're listening to beautiful music to get in the holiday mood. Enjoy!
