If you were stuck in a time loop, would you really want it to... "end"?

Depends on a few things.
Am I still aging? If I am still aging, I'd rather not be in the loop. It would be weird for me and everyone else who is unaware of the loop as they suddenly see me turn into a 75 year old man eventually.
If I am agelessly immortal in the loop, how long is the loop?
I could be fine with a day, ala Groundhog's Day. But just a few minutes or seconds, like some examples from Trek? Hell. No. That would get annoying after the second freaking loop!

There is a villain in the web book/serial Worm whose superpower is the ability to create "time bubbles" that loop whatever amount of time the villain wants.
They commonly fuck someone up badly, then right before they die, "loop them" so that person dies over and over again, forever.
Yeah, skip me with the minute shit.

What if the loop went on for billions of years... but you did not remember past iterations? You would be functionally immortal, yet not be aware of that fact. Thereby leaving would mean death, not that you would know that either.
For some reason that sounds very religious. Like Nirvana:-P.

Hoisted by his own Picard.

Frankly, I lack an understanding of the disdain for "All I Want For Christmas Is You" - I have heard much more annoying Christmas songs. It may be a bit cloying and heavily pop, but I think it's well executed, at least compared to almost any Christmas song put out by a major artist in the 21st century. Also, I think My Chemical Romance pulled off a rather good cover that perhaps beats the original.
Maybe part of it is I have a 5 hour personal/family Christmas playlist that reduces the amount of repeated listens to a more manageable degree. In addition to more well-known ones and several covers, it is also filled to the brim with alternative and indie Christmas music - Jonathan Coulton especially is good at making atypical holiday songs that don't get annoying.

Complaining about it is a meme at this point, but I think a large part of the original pushback was how over played it became in retail settings. If you step foot outside in December it’s basically playing on the PA.
