Does anyone else think the radio stations should hold off on Christmas music until after Thanksgiving?

Yes I do but it is all about the money.  Santa Claus came on Veteran's day at the local mall.  None of the powers that be agree with us however.

I think the degree to what the public has made holidays is disgraceful. Whether people believe or not(I'm a believer/Christian) they shouldn't take Jesus out of Christmas and the Christian heritage of the Pilgrims out of Thanksgiving just because they want to.

No. Probably not. And the networks take a two week hiatus for theholidays to allow people to shop and not miss their shows.

If you are close enough to Memphis to get WRVR 104.5 "The River" They start the day after Thanksgiving (midnight) and play until midnight Christmas night.\nI listen to them every year. I know they go pretty far into Arkansas because we listen on the way to our families gatherings until it becomes static. From Memphis to about Forrest City.

I think if you are Christian it is definitely too commercialized. Otherwise, no. I am not a christian so it doesn't really bother me. I think the earlier stores get ready for the holidays, the faster I can get my shopping done with. And if you think about it, there IS a major emphasis on buying, but most of what is being bought, is being given. So in the end it all works out.

When I was younger, I used to send them out the weekend after Thanksgiving. I try to send them out the first week of Dec. If I wait any later than that, I'll forget to do so.

See if you can find the KROQ Christmas album. They make on every year and being that they are a rock/alternative radio station, I'm sure there will be some songs you can find from that. Good luck!!

I dont listen to Taylor Hicks so I dont know.    And why should christian music be restricted to christian stations only?    Isn't that discrimination?   If its a good tune it should be played nationally.   Who knows,  maybe secularists would like it too.   Music is universal, and art.   Even the secularist appreciates different musics.    Not all secularists are atheist.

Yes, older people listen to it especially in the morning for the local news. And younger people like it for the music. Christians like it for the religious points. People still like to listen to it to get the local forcast.

Only four! People in your area are leaving it late compared to people round my way, however I know I'm not in real trouble til I start hearing people humming 'Mistletoe and Wine'!\n\nI think that Christmas decorations should be restricted to December - I can understand that people enjoy Christmas and celebrating the time of year with the people they love but there's such a thing as overkill! It should be the positive feelings from Christmas that should last all year, not commercialism and cheap tinsel!\n\nLx

Yes, that's why this year I'm on strike with the retailers.  I refuse to buy in to a commercial holiday.  All of our purchasing power should be put back in to our charities.  Katrina, Tsnami in India and other countries affected, Homeless in US, Make-a-Wish Foundation, and etc.  I could keep going...

I guess some people are just already looking forward to the holidays and getting excited and want to start early. I've even noticed that a lot of people are saying "happy holidays" already.\n\nPersonally I think it's too early for all this stuff and it kind of kills the fun of Christmas to have everything decorated and Christmas songs playing so early, because by the time it's Christmas people are already tired of it, it's not so special anymore. I think it would be nicer if everyone waited until December like they used to.\n\nBy the way, they started decorating shopping malls in my area in late October. I wonder how long it will be until we'll bump into Christmas trees in August.
