Is It That Time of Year?

 It was a week before Halloween and I was driving home from the store with my daughter.  We were taking turns switching through the radio channels and bam! Christmas music.  Really?!?  A week before Halloween?  One station had already gone full time Christmas music.  Now don't get me wrong, I love Christmas music-absolutely love it.  The words, the feelings conveyed, the whole nostalgia of days gone by- I just love it.  But before Halloween just seemed a wee bit early to me.  I just couldn't get into it. Yet.  But, by time Thanksgiving is over, I will be ready to hear all the holiday favorites.  So I ask, do you like Christmas music?  When do you think the stations should start playing it.  Finally, what is your favorite tune?  I love seeing what you all think!!!

    It's awful how soon christmas comes.. I think no christmas music or ornaments allowed before December 1st - but that's my opinion.

    I hate how we are rushed into holidays by stores like that! Halloween stuff was out here in the summer!

    I looooove Christmas music but I think it should not be allowed to play until December 1st...and that's when the snow can start too...I already have like 4 inches of snow at my house and I dont think it's going anywhere...My favorite has to be Jingle Bell Rock...I always picture the Home Alone scene heheehe

    It is kind of ridiculous when they start decorating for Christmas before halloween and it seems to get earlier every year!
    Favorite songs have to be Silver Bells and White Christmas. My kids like Leroy The Redneck Raindeer. I must admit its very funny, fun to sing and it's kind of catchy.

    I actually listen to Christmas music all year round. Not all the time. But every once in a while I get an 'urge'. ESP in July when its HOT and sticky. BUT I do agree, its a bit early to be on the radio and in stores!! Wait til I eat my turkey dinner!!

    I have a very hard time getting into Xmas music before Thanksgiving, too! Christmas is all around us already - in the stores, on the radio, on tv - but it's too soon for me!

    @Fatoutofskinny Yes you are right, I swear every year they start about a week earlier.

    My birthday is on 10th December so Christmas definitely doesn't begin until after that date in my house!

    Fav Christmas song is 'Have yourself a merry little Christmas' - A true classic!

    Well, thanks for all the comments. I must confess that I was driving with the family and we enjoyed a bunch of Christmas music today. As for my favorite song, I'm going with Sleigh Ride. There are many good versions, plus it is snappy with good lyrics.
