Kansas City’s Christmas Station: Now Playing Continuous Holiday Music Through Christmas Day!
OK, so most of us complain that the Christmas season starts earlier every year. I now offer conclusive proof that it actually does. Yes, KCKC, Kansas City’s Lite Rock © , started with the Christmas-music-and-nothing-BUT-Christmas-music YESTERDAY. Yes, that’s right; on Halloween day these maroons shelved the Phil Collins and Faith Hill for Bing Crosby and everyone who’s ever done a Christmas song over the course of their careers. Oh, the humanity….
No, this is certainly NOT the opening salvo in my annual “War on Christmas” (that’s still a few weeks down the road). But, Jeebus, people…Christmas is almost a full two months away. How long before someone somehere begins celebrating the season on Labor Day? Sure, I’ve worked in retail, and I understand that Christmas is make-or-break for many businesses. Really, though, does artificially extending the holiday season translate ipso facto to increased sales and larger profit margins?
I suppose there’s one good thing about this sorry scenario: we should all be thanking whatever Deity we happen to revere that we don’t live in Kansas City. I know I am….
