[Connecticut.CBSLocal] For some, the idea of Christmas coming early is anything but welcome.Local shop owner Sarah Hamilton-Parker, tired after years tolling bells sounded by Salvation Army workers for hours on end during the holiday season, took matters into her own hands by reaching out to local authorities to complain about the noise.
"I listen to this for 200 hours a year," Hamilton-Parker told the Portsmouth Herald. "This is my fourth year and I can't take it anymore. I'm so sick of it."
The frustrated business owner explained that, for five weeks out of every year, from morning to night, she hears the bells ringing as Salvation Army workers attempt to raise money for their cause.
She added of the ordeal, "It makes me hate Christmas."
