Here in Philly, a radio station has been playing Christmas Music, non-stop, 24/7, since the afternoon of October 31.  I personally LOVE Christmas Music, going so far as to pop in cd's in the middle of July.  However, many people vehemently loathe it, and tell as such at every opportunity.  Question is, how many people here feel Thanksgiving or after is the right time to start "The Christmas Spirit" on the radio, in stores, etc.?  I saw the mall had a Santa setup on November 4th, but could've been before that.

On a side note, this is quite possibly my all time favorite tunes, in general:

Poor, Happy.  They don't getcha.  Me, I do.  I love Christmas music; I have one of my Thanksgiving mixes on right now, and much of it could be described as Christmas music.  I listen to Christmas music starting in November and even have my "over xmas music" mix for Christmas night...  TeddyR  My Christmas tastes are complicated, and at Christmas Eve and Day I generally appreciate more solemn, austere, followed by ultra modern Jazz...! Timing is everything, and I do pull out the odd Christmas album in Spring and Summer (particularly JUNE CHRISTY's This Time Of Year, one of my all time favorite albums.) 
Listening to some of it now:

I love Christams music, but early/mid November is really pushin' it.  I was at Wallmart and they had a little Christmas tree up on November 8th, good grief.  After Thanksgiving is just about right.

"Christmas At Ground Zero" by Weird AL Yankovic- His label wanted a cheery Christmas single.  His response: A song about how the end of the Cold War would see mushroom clouds and mutant freaks running around.

June Christy's great.  They've been playing her cd nonstop as well.  Good stuff.

It makes me sad.  Bluesad I usually spend christmas alone and end up listening to alot of power ballads and eat a big fat steak. I am debating with myself whether or not to spend it with family this year and grace them with my presence.  Question

Since you're in Philly, you'll appreciate this. I was doing my Christmas shopping in the Gallery Mall (it's the big downtown mall for you non-Philly-ers) a couple of years ago. I'm riding up the escalator by the Santa behind a couple of moms. And one is saying to the other "Thank God they got rid of that drunk-ass Santa they had last year..."

As for the music? I do get a little tired of it, there's just too much of it. I think of the day after Thanksgiving as the official opening of the season, and I don't want to see any of that stuff before then.

"The Most Wonderful Time of the Year" makes me laugh now because it was the soundtrack for a Staples (office supply store) ad that showed happy parents dancing through the aisles at back-to-school time with their unhappy kids moping along behind them.

BounceGiggle Hey, I said I love Christmas music...

And yes, I don't like hearing it in stores before Thanksgiving.  However, there are certain pieces of music that evoke "holidaytime" to me, not necessarily December 25, so Thanksgiving is kind of a great Christmas substitute - all the good stuff, none of the crap - y'know, no decorating, no gift giving, just family, friends, two days off, and a nice meal.   Smile
