This is why I listen to my iPod.

I can listen to Christmas music on my terms.

Which is still frequent enough but meh w/e

I sometimes think that they play only the worst versions of any given Christmas song on purpose.

Again, iPod.

Because I can not think of a better version of Santa Claus is Coming to Town than Bruce Springsteen's.

Or of any given Christmas song that's not better played by Julian Koster on the singing saw and the singing saw only.
