FWIW, it is VERY offensive. It shows complete disregard for those of other faiths. If this music was intermittent it would be one thing but song after song is nauseating, and shows a complete lack of diversity. If they really cared they would cover music of other faiths showing appreciation of these customers as well. The answer is simple, will avoid them during this time until they show some diversity. Feel free to pass this along to casino management for those with whom they have contact.

Ned, lighten up. It's Christmas wether you appreciate it or not. I think most Jews like Christmas music too, especially in the USA.

Its not only White Chrismas and Rudolph the red-nose reindeer. In some casino's, both in Atlantic City and Las Vegas, I've heard "Noel, Noel born is the king of Israel" (Which Jews must find offensive, though I'm not Jewish), "Silent Night," "Little Drummer Boy" and other definitely religious carols.
I dont like it either. If I want to hear that stuff, I'll go to church. I go to casino's to be a sinner, not a saint. <g>

as you mention december, I assume you are referring to christmas
music. If you think rudolphy the red nosed reindeer, white christmas,
santa claus is coming to town, etc. is shoving one religion down your
throat, then you have a serious mental problem.
2) Lack of diversity in Dec in the choice of background music
shoving one religion down everyone's throats with their background
music song after song after song after song, etc.etc, and their
stubborness in defending this insanity.
