I think they might. We should find someone from Dunedin.

They reference sleighs because they are (were) a practical and fun way of getting around in winter. Sleighs are associated with Santa but the songs aren't about his sleigh.

Lots of Christmas songs are actually just winter songs.

Frosty the snowman

Jingle bells

Winter wonderland

Sleigh ride

Aspen: you can tell it's an aspen because of the way that it is.

I agree it's definitely possible it's a legitimate noise complaint. Just as ringing bells could be a legitimate nuisance.

I didn't like hearing the midnight/dawn call to prayer when I was in Turkey, and I wouldn't like it if a church across the street was ringing its bells at that time either.

The sooner they hire someone the less time they spend understaffed and the more they have to pay whoever the hire. It's not a huge difference but it is also not zero.

It just won't affect the company whatsoever.

When does a company decide to recruit? It's when current employees can't handle the workload and/or move projects ahead on schedule.

Not being recruited increases the hiring cycle time and means the development falls further behind schedule.

It's not nothing.
