Generally, I can only listen to a certain amount of Christmas music at one time before I start going crazy. Don't get me wrong, there are some songs that are just CLASSICS! Both traditional and pop music. As I'm sure it may be foir you, it's just not Christmas until you hear those songs.

NOW. The question of WHEN to start. I am a VERY FIRM believer that ANYTIME before Black Friday is too early. I like each holiday to have it's own time. October is for Halloween, November is for Thanksgiving, and December is for Christmas (among others). I believe these shall never cross - lol. 

When we hit Black Friday, Thanksgiving is over and it's officially Christmas shopping season. That is the next major holiday, which is why I think this is the best time to start playing Christmas music.

No matter what your thoughts are on this, we are officially into the holiday season. Have a happy one :)
