When does your local radio stations start playing Christmas music?

[FlightlessDuck]

We have one 80s - present adult contemporary FM station in our area that switches to Christmas music 24/7 during the holiday season. Usually it starts Thanksgiving night, but this year it switched on November 12th. A little soon, if you ask me.

Do you have AM or FM stations (as opposed to Sirius or XM) in your area that plays Christmas music? If so, have they started yet?

I was looking for one the other day when I was out doing some shopping, but nothing yet, darn it!

The FM channel that I listen to during the Christmas season started playing them full time this weekend. Been sitting here all day listening to them. Thank the lord I have only heard the Hippo song once today.

Our local one starts Thursday, but it started at least 2 weeks ago 75 miles south of here. Funny thing is the local grocery store my wife patronizes was playing them 2 weeks ago, but wasn't this past weekend. Too many complaints?

I had to look it up but it looks like they are already playing Christmas music. I don't know when they started. I haven't turned them on yet.

Used to be we only had one station here that played Christmas music 24/7 (99.5). They started yesterday. Flipping through the dial, came across another station (95.1) that started a couple of weeks ago. I was like, "Seriously? Already?"

Mine starts, with much fanfare, one week prior to Thanksgiving.

I hear that song a LOT--my DD8 is dancing to it in the Christmas Recital!

Ours started a couple of weeks ago (Detroit area).

If it is 100.3, I think it was the day or so after Hallowe'en.

Needless to say, I haven't started listening yet - not until December 1st.
