Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun
Now the jingle bell hop has begun

Ethan did not mind his job. He actually liked it most days.
He had been working at the Reebok for the last two years, and he was just given his third raise, so he had no reason to really resent his job. He was getting a steady stream of money, and that's all he really needed.
He had just finished ringing up what had to be his thirtieth customer of the day when finally started to grimace. It was the damned music piping through the speakers. It was four more days until Christmas, and he was slowly beginning to lose his mind. It was all he ever heard. And it wasn't like there was any real variety- after about an hour or so, the music would begin to repeat again, the same twelve or so songs. Over. And over. And over.
He was a pretty pleasant person, always tried to be upbeat and chipper, even when he was being threatened to be shoved into a locker by one of the Super Jerks. But there was something about this music that was just slowly driving him insane.
There was no doubt about it. Ethan hated Christmas music.

Yes, this is insanely late almost to the point I missed my deadline. I apologize to the like 3 people that are actually following this. XD
By the way, this is the product of little sleep and working long hours at the mall. :D
