NASHVILLE (BP) -- Christmas music is nearly inescapable every December and most Americans enjoy it.
According
to a new LifeWay Research study, 70 percent of Americans enjoy hearing
Christmas songs in December and 86 percent believe school choirs and
bands should be allowed to perform religious Christmas music.
However,
in the November 2012 online survey of 1,191 Americans, one in five
Americans (21 percent) said the prevalence of Christmas music in
December is "overdone" while 7 percent find it "annoying."
"When
seemingly everyone does something," LifeWay Research director Scott
McConnell commented, "it is sure to grate on someone's nerves. But 10
times as many people find Christmas music everywhere enjoyable than find
it annoying."
More than eight in 10 (83 percent) Americans who
consider themselves to be a born-again, evangelical or fundamentalist
Christian say they find the prevalence of Christmas music enjoyable
compared to 59 percent of those who "never" attend religious services,
according to the survey, which was released Dec. 17.
