He denies that his cunning trick works. ‘Grinch-like’He insists that he loves festive music, but only when December starts.
In footage of him testing his plan, he requests festive tunes and his smart speakers reply: “I’m sorry, I can’t do that until December.”
The Alexa now blocks these phrases ‘play holiday music’, ‘play Christmas albums’, ‘play Christmas carols’, ‘play Christmas tunes’ ‘play Christmas hits’.
This has now stopped Zachary, Max, and Polly from being able to have children.
Consultant Mark, of Leighton Buzzard, Beds, said: “I’ve long maintained that Christmas comes too early and I feel like December is the start.
“I see adverts in September and get irritated.
“As soon as it’s December I’ll be deleting the rule and playing Christmas songs on repeat too.”
