How early is too early for Christmas music?
I don’t blame you if you insist on waiting until after Thanksgiving. (I have a fondness for the oft-overlooked genre that is “Thanksgiving Music“, myself.)
However, I thing that my willingness to phase in Christmas music as soon as Halloween is in the past has a lot to do with my unwillingness to let the radio pick my playlist. Will I hear Mariah Carey this Christmas? Any songs about hippopotami or a wonderful Christmas-time? Then I will consider myself fortunate. (You’re perfectly welcome to disagree or have different songs on your list.)
I’ve got a long list of Christmas music I could listen to year-round, by many of the same artists I do listen to year-round. And because of that, six or eight weeks of Christmas music is no problem.
