Christmas in September is unnecessary.
Christmas in October is pushing it
Christmas in November should not begin until Black Friday. Period.
With this guideline in mind I'm shaking my head at the radio stations that have already flipped to all Christmas all the time. EEK! You’re cheating Thanksgiving!
The only exception to this is Josh Groban’s O Holy Night.

Scrooge! Kidding. But semi-agreed.
I have already seen many houses with Christmas lights up...
So, I'm stuck this year.
I'm always a strict "no Christmas before Thanksgiving" kind of a girl.
But this year, I started singing Christmas songs in October!! (Well, "this is the most wonderful time of the year" kept popping into my head b/c, well, it's pumpkin season, the rains were a good month "late", and it IS the most wonderful time of the year. And once that started, they all flowed). I even looked FOR the all Christmas music stations by the second week of Nov. They weren't there.
Then I read on Katrins blog that she, too, was singing Christmas music already!
And on Saturday morning (6:30 AM!!) Kathy called b/c she was listing to the Chipmunk Christmas Song.
So I went looking for the Christmas station, and found it on Sunday. We lasted the remainder of the first song.
I was so excited I was going to throw out the "no Christmas before Thanksgiving" rule just for this year.
So this morning I turned to the all Christmas music station on my way to work. And I turned it away before the first song was over - nope! Too early still!!
Perhaps if there was snow on the ground to help....
Oh, and Jen, I, too, have seen Christmas lights up already. ??? And they are done so crapily, I wish the people would have USED this time to do them well, rather than toss them up and make 'em ugly for this long.
oh, and "for the record", Josh Groban's O Holy Night is fabulous enough to listen to year round anyway. :)
We are in complete aggreeance today!!
I agree 100%. But, as mentioned above, I got sucked into the all christmas station on Friday. I have no idea when they started playing it, it used to be the weekend before Thanksgiving...
In June, we were singing the Chipmunk Christmas song at a family function. hehehe (the fam met martha's bf..and then my uncle starts whistling and can't figure out why that song is stuck in his head...he was somwhere between embarrassed and amused when i pointed out it was because Alvin was there...)
I however think there is a better version of O Holy NIght. And dammit if I can't remember his name right now. Michael something or another I think...the Phantom of the Opera guy...
OH yea, and that reminds me of the fall semester when I was taking a swimming class and needing goggles. I went to Walmart and asked where their swimming goggles were, and they told me they were out of season, and they were making room for the seasonal stuff. I look to see where she's pointing, and there is Christmas stuff being put up. I looked at her and asked, "seriously? Should I even point out that it is August? Swimming IS the seasonal stuff for now" And she looked at me like I was the idiot!!
I refuse to listen to 99.9 up here. I still can't believe they're playing it already.
Only exception is South Park O Holy Night (where Cartman tries to sing it and he gets shocked with a cattle prod when he screws up)
Dale's a southpark fan?
So disappointing. That's one show where you lose IQ points just by watching it.
Kathy - I bet you're thinking Michael Crawford; the guy from Phantom? You're right, that IS the best one. Josh Groban's is a good second, though. Those two are light years above any others. Except perhaps the Vienna Boys Choir's "Stille Nacht". And the Chipmunk Song. ;)
I heard Feed the World Crappy Song during the summer - I'd always associated it as a Christmas song beings they sing about it not snowing in Africa on Christmas; how will they know it's Christmas? (no shit! No snow in the summer hemisphere in December?!??)
