Christmas music...ALREADY!!!

[Earth 2 Chris]

I know I shouldn't be surprised, but our local Clear Channel radio station, Mix 94.5, started their Mix-Mas non-stop Christmas marathon TODAY. When the first did this years and years ago, they started the week of Thanksgiving. Since then, they've gotten closer and closer to Nov. 1st, and last year, I swear they played Monster Mash at 11:57 PM on Oct.31, and White Christmas at 12 AM, Nov. 1st!

And what song do I hear when I'm scanning channels? None other than one of my absolute favorites (note the sarcasm) Wham's timeless classic, "Last Christmas".

I love Christmas music, but not yet.

I went to the Post Office Yesterday (Oct 31st) ...
And they Already had all thier X-Mas stuff out ...., complete with signs, ads and X-mas Deadlines.
The "PUSH Before it Happens" Halloween outta the Way and Now it's X-Mas Time really Happened really Fast This Year.

We have stores here that started selling Christmas stuff early September...

[Earth 2 Chris]

Yeah, the stores pushing the stuff is nothing new, really. In fact, our local Wal-Marts have restrained themselves somewhat in the last few years. A few years back they had Christmas up at the same time as Back-to-School, BEFORE they put up their Halloween merchandise.

But 24-hr Christmas music the day after Halloween is just wrong.

I like this song. It takes me back to around '84. Some great christmas' back then.

^^^ Does it Take you back too KW ?

[madmarva]

It is early. No doubt about it. I love Christmas, and I like seeing stuff in stores about this time of year. I bought a couple of Christmas albums yesterday, but playing Christmas music nonstop from now until the day is a little much. It would be easy to be tired of Christmas before December. The Hallmark channel is beginning to show Christmas movies this weekend.

Heck, as a kid my parents never put up a tree until maybe the week before Christmas.

But, whatever makes people happy. I did watch the Nightmare Before Christmas with my nieces and nephew after thy got hom from trick or treating. It's a good transition between the holidays. I guess I should have ate a turkey as a way which to work Thanksgiving in, too.

Speaking of Thanksgiving, does anyone have any traditions beyond the three Fs - family, Football and Food?

[BlackKnight]

^^^ 4 Fs

We've got at least one in WA that's doing it already (I think over in Spokane) and I know of one in Seattle that starts in early November...both Clear Channel. I actually kinda dig 'Last Christmas', but not in Nov!
