stacyk9 Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 We were visiting family in St. Louis last weekend and my DH ran to a friends house for a while and when he came back he said one of the radio stations was playing Christmas music 24/7 already! Okay, I love Christmas, I mean, I REALLY love it, but playing Christmas music before Halloween? This is a little too extreme, even for me. So, if you're in the area and need a little holiday spirit, tune into 101.1.
Ravenseye Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 On XM it's only two weeks and a day til they (normally) kick off their holiday channels. I'd be really surprised if we didn't start hearing it in malls and stores soon as well...they're going to pull out every stop to get you panicked about the shopping season. -Mike
MathGirl Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Hallmark was playing Christmas music this weekend. They had their ornament debut this past weekend. I haven't been in this week so I am not sure if they are still playing it.
elicia423126 Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 I LOVE Christmas music!! I could listen to it all year long, but I don't. Every year there is a festival here in Oct. and I usually buy 2 new Christmas CD's. I have been listening to those already.

So, if you're in the area and need a little holiday spirit, tune into 101.1.The station is converting from a music station to an ESPN station. The ESPN deal is running long to complete so they are playing holiday music until the FCC filings are approved. It is my understanding they were caught off guard and this was the cheapest, easiest solution.
kmbrly Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 I haven't starting playing it yet, but I did dig out my Christmas CDs. I got 'em ready, just waiting for the mood to strike my fancy.

loves30 Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 i love it i can hear it all the time.. funny thing is tonight im in my room and ds5 put in a cd and it was xmass lol
elena_398 Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Too early for me. I don't mind when it starts in November, but Halloween isn't over yet! lol
elena_398 Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Forgot to say I did catch myself the other day humming the Rudolph song. lol
dancglady Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 I checked Time Warner's music channel "sounds of the seasons" last night but they are still playing Halloween music. It should start November 1st though! I can't wait!
mrs.winter Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 I have listened to it for about a week and half here in Missouri I was so happy when I came across it I did the happy dance I Love Christmas music and now that I have started to Christmas shop it puts me in mood !
msdarkness Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Guilty as charged but only when DH isnt home or he makes fun of me
sandwish Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 As a music teacher, I have been listening to it since September. Frankly, I am sick of it and can't wait to hear something else. Ok, I love it the last week of school before the holidays.....the kids even seem a little kinder, gentler, more giving.
SuperMommy Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 I'm not sure about music, but DH actually said he wanted to watch Home Alone tonight. That's always my first clue that he's ready for Christmas. XMas isn't really the point of the whole story, but it usually seems to only get watched around Christmas here. Of course he is a store manager with a retail company, so he's already hearing Christmas this and Christmas that. Plus I've started really talking about BF this week.
mgmckny Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 Guilty as charged but only when DH isnt home or he makes fun of meMine is on my ipod, so I listen off and on year round. No one else has to know.....
babygirl913 Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 Yes that is a bit early. The station in my area that does christmas music 24/7 doesn't start that until November.
LainieB Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 I got my Christmas cds out last week and started listening to them at home by myself (or my DH would make fun of me too). I wanted to start playing them at work ( I work in child care with 2 year olds) but my co-teacher says not until after Halloween:(
eve Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 i listen to Christmas music any time of the year if the mood strikes, but this is to early for stores and stations in my opinion
mgmckny Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 i listen to Christmas music any time of the year if the mood strikes, but this is to early for stores and stations in my opinionActually I wouldn't mind if they snuck a carol in every now and then all year long, some of them are so pretty, but I do admit, going down the aisles with the Halloween costumes and listening to I'm dreaming of a White Christmas or Here Comes Santa Claus is a little disconcerting!

So, if you're in the area and need a little holiday spirit, tune into 101.1.I know, I tuned into Movin 101.1 and Jingle Bell rock was playing. I thought it was some special request or somebody messing with us, then Little Drummer Boy played. I was like I know Movin 101.1 will be a sports channel starting January- I had no idea they would change the format to all Christmas music so soon though
Turtle Mommy Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 I have it on already too. My boys love it! Christmas is my favorite holiday hands down and it is my boys as well.
coleman4905 Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 i'll be ready for x-mas music on Nov 1st,..thats when the local park has a drive through x-mas light show and it makes everything so pretty,..really gets me in the spirit
floridasun5 Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 I'm anxious to hear Christmas music already! Unfortunately our radio station here doesnt start playing it 24/7 until Thanksgiving Day. Think I'm going to have to start work on my Christmas music playlist for my ipod. LOL
jonnysgirl_7 Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 My that is early! I must say that this colder weather is giving me the itch to put it on...but I will wait until after Halloween )
beccas302 Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 I was singing "it's beginning to look a lot like christmas" the other day, but only because it was snowing LOL There's a gadget you can install on Windows Vista desktops that plays christmas music. I installed it today, but prolly won't play it for a while.
