When did retail store deodorant theft become such a thing?

Speaking of Xmas music (as Cooby has done like four times in a row here): Who is responsible, and when was it decided, that 'My Favorite Things' is a Christmas song?
My guess it that since the song appears in what has become a yearly holiday-time showing of the film they just made a seasonal connection. I see nothing Christmas-y about the Vince Guaraldi Trio's "Linus and Lucy" either, but the connection to the cartoon is there so its gets airtime too.

I know the TZ reference, but simply yelling the phrase without context isn't going to get much of a reaction ... as it didn't with me.

And I fear there's going to be a lot more shit in the next four years.
