Well, I think so.
Actually, I don't go into stores much, so I don't get bombarded by Christmas music the way others do. So I don't get burned out. Of course, much of the stuff they broadcast nowadays doesn't evoke Christmas much, anyway.
Yesterday we had a National Pointless Day party. (It's called that because what is the point of having January 1 be a holday, anyway?) It was at the home of our beloved guitarist. I brought over the projector and the transparencies, and we played and sang quite a bit of music. The 'Christ Child Lullaby', which I found in the DT, was new to everyone and was a big hit.
When the idea of singing was first mentioned, the reaction was negative. However, when we played the carols in lower-than-usual keys, several guests left the dining room and crept in to join the singing. I was very pleased.
