We were discussing this earlier this month as to when you think Holiday music should start on the radio. I know it is already on some stations over the net.
I think it should start the week of Thanksgiving at the earliest...

A NYC station starts December 1st. The tv commercials started before Halloween!
What I have always found ironic is that the holiday season goes throughout December to January 1st. Ever notice that the holiday tunes pretty much drop off almost completely on December 26th? If you're going since Thanksgiving, why not till New Year's Day? Just sayin...Posted 6 months ago by JoanfromNewJersey #

Heck, How The Grinch Stole Christmas (animated version - the BEST) was on the other night! Christmas Season is until Epiphany which is about January 6th I believe. Advent is the four weeks before the Christmas Season when all the Christmas music starts but it truly should go through Epiphany, but then again, it's the commercialization so unless you listen to a Christian music station you won't hear Christmas music after the evening of the 25th of December.
And in a Catholic Church (I don't know about others) you won't hear Christmas Carols during Advent but you will hear songs about the impending birth of Christ during Advent.

I'm not quite in the never category. I'm not really into religion anymore and although I pray I put it out to the universe. Christmas is just another day to me. However, I do happen to love Christmas movies, especially old B&W ones.
I listen to talk radio (i'm such an old lady any more) so I rarely hear music anyway.

Christmas decorations went up for sale in mid-October at Rite-Aid in Southern Ca. It was interesting to see Halloween goblin masks right next to Santa and his elves. They weren't playing Christmas Carols yet though. Only a matter of time.

JBBM, who ya callin' old? We're the same age!
During the snow storm, I found the lyrics "oh the weather outside is frightful..." going around my head, which was fine as it was a Saturday and I didn't care if it snowed all day!Posted 6 months ago by JoanfromNewJersey #

Ooops... Sorry Joan!
After reading your post all kinds of songs from the 70's and 80's came to my mind and now I"m dancin' here in my chair!

Either on the first day of Advent, which is Nov. 27 this year (see JBBM's post) or on Dec. 1. Since the day after Thanksgiving is only 2 days before the start of Advent this year, that would be okay, too.
Lutheran churches also have Christmas carols beginning with the formal Christmas Eve service and lasting through Epiphany. I was just recruited today to be a lector during the Service of Lessons and Carols on Jan. 1.

I like to combine the pagan (start decorating right after Thanksgiving)with the church calendar (Christmas is twelve days....never take down the tree until Jan. 6.) It's the best of both worlds. I never really knew what the 12 days of Chrismas meant until I married a church calendar kind of guy. Anyways I love a Chrismas tree so the longer its up the better. (Though I'm tempted not to put it up this year, first Christmas with multiple cats.)
Hmm, your question was about music not trees, but same principle applies!

It is a dream of mine someday to put up an extra Christmas tree just for cats. It would be a real tree, secured to the ceiling so that it could not tip over. There would be no lights so that there would be no potentially dangerous sources of electricity around. It would be decorated with things made of cloth and plastic that kitties could bat around and play with as they climbed the tree.

Since I play the recorder, I know TONS of Christmas songs that I play year-round. These by no means accounts for my entire repertoire, and I don't play them exclusively, but I do play them whenever I'm in the mood. It appears from other postings here that playing these songs out of season would drive some people crazy. Maybe it's a good thing that I live only with my cats since they don't object to any song in particular, but ALL music on my recorder! I guess they don't like the high pitch on it!

Christmas music should start being played publicly the day after Thanksgiving - no sooner! I definitely don't want to hear it before Halloween. I would also be happy to for it to continue until at New Year, if not Epiphany. But it seems that as soon as Christmas is over, the stores are rushing to put up their Valentines Day stuff!
