    I refuse to believe that someone can work retail during Christmas and not be driven into a blood rage by this song

      Working retail induced a deep burning hatred for Christmas music, 2 months of non stop Christmas jingles paired with the rudest customers.

    With how big this song is, I truly cannot imagine what it was like when it came out.

    Did it take time for it to start getting played nonstop at Christmas, or did people jump on it immediately?

      it was a pretty big success and heralded as a already classic christmas song, but it didnt reach its highest heights until 25 years after its release when it finally hit number 1 (breaking the record for longest time between release and number 1)
