Is it too early to start playing Xmas music?

It makes me feel better even though I cant buy anything for anyone

Yes, it's way too damn early.
Sorry, I hate to say that because I too love Xmas music, but those are the rules.
And if we don't follow the rules, then this whole thing we call society just becomes total anarchy.
And even tho there are people out there who say they're all for total anarchy, the truth is, these are the first people who'll start crying that there is no one to police the public when their cupboards have been stripped bare by strangers, their lawns have been totally mauled by skidmarked tire tracks and their houses have been left burning.

So, keep those Xmas CDs in their respective spots on the rack and up the dosage of your Zoloft, at least until after Black Friday.

Deliberately to get you emotional so you'll spend more.



I play a selection of my favorite tracks from about 2 dozen Xmas albums all year long, sometimes I'm just not in the mood for any other music. Vanessa Williams' What Child Is This may actually be my favorite song of all time, I sure play it a lot.

I associate Christmas music too much with the holidays and find it bittersweet to listen to it at other times of the year. It's like hearing the familiar ice cream truck jingle then running outside only to find that there is no ice cream. confused

Not until there is snow that won't leave the ground. mad Sometimes, Christmas music is just my "dealing with early Winter" music.

I guess not but there's going to be so much of it played a littel later on that you might grow sick of it quicker than you want.

But hey - if you like it, play it!

Music is music. If you like it, it's always fair game.

I have the Charlie Brown Christmas album on my iTunes. I listen to that thing in July, if I feel like it. (Which I often do.) In fact... arrow

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

Actually, this is why I do not have Christmas music in my iTunes. It physically gets filed away before January every year, and does not get accessed again until November.

Christmas is three months away. A whole quarter of the year. It's the equivalent to celebrating the new millennium in 2750. Those of us who are still around then, that is.

Good point.

This should be blasting on every overhead in every public place, year round.

Should Old Acquaintance be forgot,
and never thought upon;
The flames of Love extinguished,
and fully past and gone:
Is thy sweet Heart now grown so cold,
that loving Breast of thine;
That thou canst never once reflect
On old long syne.

CHORUS:
On old long syne my Jo,
On old long syne,
That thou canst never once reflect,
On old long syne.

BTW,
what the hell is an "old long syne"?
Because I think I may have one.
It's old and it's long,
but I don't know if it qualifies as a syne....

Legend has it that it's bad-Luck to play Christmas music before November...The same Legend does not apply to snacking on bite-size Chocolate Santa Clause candy and stale X-mas Cookies...

I would say yes, too early. But what bothers me the most is that you always hear the same Christmas songs whether it's on the radio or in the shops. I really can't stand Mariah Carey and Wham anymore! headache

Yes it is too early. Not even songs about Winter

there are a lot of songs about the Autumn Season and Thanksgiving to tide you over until

and before that check out the soundtrack to Halloween I & II 'Mr Sandman'

If I play it now, I'd be sick of it before the holidays.

I almost got myself sick of it before Christmas last year.
