Scientists Confirm That We Like Listening to Holiday Songs for a While . . . Then We Start to Hate Them:
Researchers have confirmed what you probably already knew about listening to holiday music.
According to studies by the University of London, there is an upside-down U-shaped relationship between the number of times we hear a holiday song . . . and our enjoyment level.
That means that when we first start hearing holiday songs again, at this time of year, we LIKE it. It brings back memories and gets us excited about Christmas. And the more we hear Christmas music, the MORE excited we get and the more we like it.
But then, our enjoyment level reaches a peak . . . and we've heard enough. After that, our enjoyment level drops off . . . QUICKLY.
Since we hear the music EVERYWHERE we go, it causes us to get bored . . . and then annoyed. And since the holidays are usually a stressful time for people, it causes us to get annoyed even FASTER.
