    I got married on 21st June and had Fairytale of New York playing during the ceremony. It's never the wrong time of year for a good tune!

    Depends on the person..
    My sister in law could listen to Christmas music year round if my brother allowed it.
    For me, don't start until the day after Thanksgiving... get through one holiday at a time. Forget shopping on Black Friday, I get my tree up and decorated while listening to Christmas music and watch The Muppet Christmas Carol.

    Last year, Mariah Carey's new Christmas album came out in like early november, but the single "Oh Santa!" was out a couple weeks before Halloween. Now I love Christmas and love Mariah Carey even more, so once the single dropped, I pulled out all my Christmas music and played it all through October, November and December. I drove everyone crazy and the kids didn't understand why we were listening to Christmas music on Halloween. Lol.

    This year, I promised everyone I would wait until after Thanksgiving. But last night, I secretly played my Christmas playlist. Shhh, don't tell anyone lol. I said I'd wait til Thanksgiving, but if I can make it to halloween, than that's an improvement. Lol.

    Yes.

    I think there should be a federal law prohibiting any mention of Christmas until my birthday on December 1st. My birthday should always be considered the gateway to the holiday season! The longer the season is dragged out the less special it is!

    I start on December 24th and stop on the 26th =p

    Seriously though, the radio stations here start it so early I usually get very tired of it by the time Christmas gets here

    I have a deal with my husband.

    I do not listen to christmas music before Thanksgiving (US). I do not listen to christmas music after New Year's Day.
    He does not get to ***** about listening to christmas music, all day, every day, between those dates.

    p.s. Neither of us actually celebrate christmas. I just like the music.

    The Friday after Thanksgiving when I'm putting up decorations and then not until December 23rd.

    I don't need 300 versions of Jingle Bells going through my head. :laugh:

    The Sunday after Thanksgiving is when we put up our little tree, anything from that point forward is fair game!

    AFTER Halloween...and more preferably after Thanksgiving. I can only take so much Christmas music; however, they don't play "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer" nearly enough to suit me.

    Let me tell you why I don't like Christmas carols. I went to a dentist some years ago. It was in December. I had to get some drilling done. Drilling is never pleasant.

    So I'm in my chair leaned back with my mouth jacked open, saliva evaporating faster than I can dry swallow. Up to this point the techs that were tending to me were friendly and kind. But then the dentist walks in. He is red faced with shocking white hair, cut short military style. Very intense blue eyes and a meat eater's smile.

    Of course, he starts talking to me, chit-chat and whatnot, asking questions that I can only answer with my eyes or a dry, gargling "ermph." Did I mention there were Christmas carols piped into the office? Not Bing Crosby or anything, the elevator/musak instrumental rip-your-eyeballs-out-mundane stuff. That's what is playing this whole time.

    And then the drilling starts. Which, as most of you know, is bad enough. Seeing and smelling smoke that you know is a result of goings on inside your mouth is unsettling. But what gives me chills to this day is this dentist's red face right up next to mine, enthusiastically humming those fu**ing Christmas carols! I can see the pores in this guys cheeks and he's humming like a kid with a toy motorcycle. The entire time. Loudly. It completely freaked me out. I was terrified. I probably peed my pants.

    I never went back there.

    So yeah, no Christmas carols for me. At least not hummed.

    The Friday after Thanksgiving...

    This is the earliest I'll tolerate it. I'm alone on this within my family...

    As soon as the shops start playing it - so round about now then. I generally start avoiding shops then until I have to enter them - so this year, as in previous years, I'll be doing a lot of Amazon purchasing

    When it comes to Christmas songs I'm with Ebeneezer
