O know of 2 radio stations that are playing 24/7 already. I'd like to get through Thanksgiving first! My husband is rushing me to decorate (so not like him) he brought in all my Christmas totes, and they will sit there until after Thanksgiving too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-soon-is-too-soon-for-christmas-songs#post-15333 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 13:03:10 +0000 heffalump 15333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never!</p> <p>I love Christmas! I don't celebrate it, I'm a Jew. But I still love the holiday season! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-soon-is-too-soon-for-christmas-songs#post-15291 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 12:12:38 +0000 cyndistar3 15291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yea I was a little annoyed when walmart started playing christmas music a couple weeks ago... Anytime before thanksgiving is way too early but I prefer waiting til December. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-soon-is-too-soon-for-christmas-songs#post-15284 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 11:58:59 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 15284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are starting this week! YAY!!!!!!!! Love that us, CAnadians don't have thanksgiving in November! I already put up my outdoor lights (though I haven't lit them yet) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-soon-is-too-soon-for-christmas-songs#post-15195 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 09:43:06 +0000 mrsjyw 15195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In our household, it's the weekend after Thanksgiving (US)... However, we did notice that our local Christmas 24/7 radio station started a few weeks early on Nov 1! It's too soon! We're still celebrating Halloween and preparing for Thanksgiving, Christmas is all December long! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-soon-is-too-soon-for-christmas-songs#post-15073 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 21:52:24 +0000 cyneswith 15073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After Thanksgiving. I refuse to buy ANYTHING Christmas-related before then (except gifts), and I tend to skip over the Christmas instrumentals on my iPod before then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-soon-is-too-soon-for-christmas-songs#post-15071 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 21:42:18 +0000 PitBulLover 15071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This year I've started listening to a few songs here and there the second week in November but typically it irks me to hear them before (US) Thanksgiving. Also, if it isn't cold out it just feels weird to be listening to Christmas music! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-soon-is-too-soon-for-christmas-songs#post-14504 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 09:17:43 +0000 chopsuey 14504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sing Christmas songs all year whenever the mood strikes me! I ditto @mrsbells though :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-soon-is-too-soon-for-christmas-songs#post-14474 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 08:36:08 +0000 MH.Abroad 14474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For us it's always been the day after US Thanksgiving, but my little sister attends school in Canada so her thanksgiving break is in October and she says that throws things off for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-soon-is-too-soon-for-christmas-songs#post-14459 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 07:07:42 +0000 tessabella76 14459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The end of November works for me. I love Christmas music but I don't want to be sick of it by Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-soon-is-too-soon-for-christmas-songs#post-14455 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 06:54:02 +0000 mediagirl 14455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The day after Thanksgiving, Christmas officially starts for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-soon-is-too-soon-for-christmas-songs#post-14328 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 21:04:56 +0000 Dr. Pepper 14328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always go with after the first snow of the year, which where I live is usually middle of October! However, this year it was just 2 days ago- and it was tiny and disappointing. I was lucky to be outside already or I may have missed it!</p> <p>Oh and the reason Christmas songs start with the first snow, is that I just can't help but break out into "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....everywhere I go...." as soon as I see snow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-soon-is-too-soon-for-christmas-songs#post-14185 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 16:04:35 +0000 HabesBabe 14185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After Thanksgiving. That's when one of the local radio stations starts playing Christmas songs 24/7. I LOVE IT. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-soon-is-too-soon-for-christmas-songs#post-14170 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 15:57:46 +0000 tequiero21 14170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think after thxgiving too.</p> <p>lol@eeh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-soon-is-too-soon-for-christmas-songs#post-14138 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 15:35:35 +0000 mommacommaphd 14138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I start listening when it starts getting cold and crisp. I'm in NY and we had snow before Halloween this year, and I spent the day of the storm listening to Christmas music while it snowed.</p> <p>So I guess it's the weather that sparks my Christmas spirit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-soon-is-too-soon-for-christmas-songs#post-14071 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 14:14:18 +0000 Wondermommy 14071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anything before US Thanksgiving is too soon for me, as well. Black Friday? Bring 'em on!<br /> Although, last week when I was at the grocery store, they had Christmas songs playing, and despite myself, I was absentmindedly singing along. Dammit. Lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-soon-is-too-soon-for-christmas-songs#post-14068 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 14:12:04 +0000 Pipers Mommy 14068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am probably an exception. I absolutely love Christmas. I start listening on November 1st- had to go through Pandora because none of the stations were playing it, 2 in the Boston/Providence area started today (yay!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-soon-is-too-soon-for-christmas-songs#post-14060 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 14:03:14 +0000 eeh 14060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any time before December 23 is too soon for me. And they stop on December 26th unless it's a hymn we sing at church. I make exceptions for those songs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-soon-is-too-soon-for-christmas-songs#post-14059 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 14:02:19 +0000 mrbee 14059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yah, the holiday season starts after (US) Thanksgiving for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-soon-is-too-soon-for-christmas-songs#post-14053 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 14:00:37 +0000 Mrs.KMM 14053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's after Thanksgiving for me (but I'm in the States). For Canada, I still think I would observe the end of Nov / beginning of Dec as the most appropriate time to bring out the X-mas music. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-soon-is-too-soon-for-christmas-songs#post-14051 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 13:59:07 +0000 Mrsbells 14051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it is a christian/biblical christmas song then I dont really mind when it sung because the message is true all year round and december 25th isnt even the real birthdate of Jesus, but if it is a secular christmas song about santa, presents or rudolph the reindeer then I prefer people to wait til december </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-soon-is-too-soon-for-christmas-songs#post-14035 Fri, 11 Nov 2011 13:50:55 +0000 Mrs. D 14035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Growing up, we weren't allowed to sing Christmas songs at home before December 1st (unless it was a song we had to learn for school or church choir).</p> <p>So while I hear them starting about November 1st, it feels way to early. I've heard people say before "after thanksgiving", but that's WAY to early if you live here in Canada when Thanksgiving is the second Monday in October, lol.</p> <p>I don't know what the rule of thumb will be when we have kids, (first is due in Feb.) but I think I may still use my moms rule, how about you? </p>
