Hearing corny pop christmas music all the time offends me as a musician, too. Horrible renditions, arrangements afer arrangements that sound exactly alike, etc. I enjoy my christmas music, but I'm very selective of what CDs I buy. And there's nothing to ruin a nice holiday by having it overblown for months before it happens.

And that doesn't even include the whole thing about subjecting poor non-christians to bad music for three months.
