I love Christmas music, and the years I worked at Kohl's definitely took a serious toll on my enjoyment of the holiday in general, and Christmas music in particular. I don't know what to tell you to help you get through--I tried to cling to nice moments, like when I could help someone who was nice to me find something that they were happy with. Lots of confused old people would wander through the store saying "My grandchild says they want _____ and I don't know what that is," so it was always nice to help them find something I thought the kids would like. Stuff like that helped me to keep a little holiday spirit and not completely lose my mind, but it's definitely tough out there. Lots of people treated me like shit, so I just tried to find them something, ANYTHING, as quickly as possible and get them out of my vicinity as quickly as possible. Godspeed.
