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!

Never. I can’t imagine how anyone who’s ever worked in a retail shop would think otherwise. Christmas music is like otologic amoxicillin: Fine for yourself if you need it, impolite to put in anyone else’s ears.

Hahahaha…I’m with HM!! I was considering duct-taping my ears so I don’t have to hear it. Don’t get me wrong….I love the holiday & what it stands for but they cram the music down our throats till we choke. lol

well, to be fair, i’d rather hear holiday music than rap, or most of this pop stuff. it’s not bhangra or pakistani rock, or even hindi pop, but i’ll take it over rap and most current pop crap u hear everywhere for the few months its on anyway.

Officemate has on radio today & they’ve been throwing in 1 about every hour…kinda matches the surrondings since the office tree is up waiting to be straightened & tided up…zilch on at home until after Thanksgiving for me tho! Don’t plan to start decorating until early December either except for the outside lites if it is warmer out soon!

The day after Thanksgiving is soon enough for me. I’d be happy with it starting Dec 15 and being done Dec 26. We have a radio station here that has already started playing ONLY Christmas music already. Yeah, I skip over that one in the car !

This from the DC area:

Ho Ho Ho For WASH – 11/18 – Usually on the Friday before Thanksgiving, Clear Channel flips its adult contemporary WASH, 97.1 FM, to all-Christmas tunes. And the same thing this year, with WASH debuting its annual holiday music format bright and early today. Also, making the XMAS flip is Hagerstown-Winchester-Martinsburg’s WLTF, 97.5 FM. Still no Christmas flip for Baltimore’s WLIF, 101.9 FM, but expect it soon…..
