12 songs by 42 artists.
Got it.

 

[JHDK]

Channel you're killing me. I'm not ready to jump into Christmas songs until the day after Thanksgiving but now you got me.

This Ed Sheeran/Anne Marie cover of the Pogues tune has been my "new" favorite Christmas song for like 3 years now. I can listen to it over and over. And it's acoustic. The Jingle Bells at the end is a sweet added touch.

I stand by this. Though I allow it on Thanksgiving night after the meal.

Same.

December 23rd if I am feeling Christmassy. Otherwise the 24th.

 

[Jon]

I can see inserting a few Christmas songs into the regular format, but ALL Christmas for a month?

WFFT, "Wayne-FM" in Fort Wayne, Indiana, began playing full-time Christmas music on November 11. KOST 103.5 in Los Angeles and "Star 102.1" KDGE in Dallas switched to Christmas music the following day. Those stations are laggards. WWIZ, "Z104" in Middlesex, Pennsylvania, switched to Christmas music on October 1. October first!

We just spent the weekend in Frankenmuth Michigan. It's a kitschy Christmas themed little town that's kind of stuck in the 1950's. They claim to have the worlds largest Christmas store, and we needed a new tree. That was more than enough Christmas music for me. The day before Christmas is usually enough.

Bonners I think its called. Have been to Frankenmuth a couple times (only once to the Christmas explosion store). It's a nice little town,

Frankenmuth Michigan

That's a real thing? What a name!

And to those stations playing 24/7 Xmas music starting Oct or Nov before Thanksgiving, EFF EWE!!

This is why we get this BS for the Hot 100 every friggin December now, just one more reason the Hot 100 is useless these days....

Bronner’s. You probably see billboards for them when you’re visiting Columbus. It’s an old-school kinda place.

It’s a thing. There was a line of cars stretching as far as I could see for people coming to the town Sunday morning while we were leaving. Insane.

 

[Aaron]

I should clarify, while I'm okay with Christmas songs starting Thanksgiving night, I'm not one to spend much time listening to the holiday channels, just if they happen to be playing one I like.

Do we have a thread for favorite / least favorite Christmas tunes? I don't remember.

The Mrs was ecstatic that the Christmas channels were playing already.
A good portion of the 2 hour drive each way was spent on the XMas tunes.

It'sonceayear, it'sonceayear, it'sonceayear, it'sonceayear.......

[scotchandcigar]

When our community band convenes for the new season (start of the school year), we rehearse nothing but Christmas music. That's more than enough for me. I can post our program list, if interested.
