‘That Sunday, That Summer’ by Nat King Cole also makes good use of the ukelele.
The song includes the lyric ‘If I had to chose just one day’.

Lol.
Non-stop “It’s the MOST WONDERFUL time of the YEAR!” and there’s halloween costumes being put out, it was maddening.
They could at least wait for Thanksgiving.

Places Christmas Music is played:

My home
Nearby truck stop where I like to have breakfast
Meijer stores
WalMart stores
Both malls (and most individual stores)
A lot of the reastaurants (my favorite Italian place has the collected Christmas repertoire of Sinatra, Lanza, Bocelli, etc.)

Might be easier to list the places I’ve been where there is none, except that I’ve not been there and don’t know where they are.

My work continues to play the assorted pop and country XM stations in rotation, but even they play the occasional Christmas song.

Oh and at least two local FM stations. If “So This Is Christmas” pops up on one, I can switch to the other.

They also could have put some variety in their playlist too.

Personally? It’s like Christmas can’t wait to upstage Helloween.

Won’t hear ME complain there.

I’m not missing it anywhere. I love it. They are playing it at the kings game where I’m sitting right now. Tons of radio stations play it. I heart radio app has six different Christmas music stations. A ton on Sirius. And on my favorite talk radio shows the bumper music is often Christmas. Even on Dennis prager’s show and he is Jewish! But loves Christmas music like I do.

The Michael Crawford rendition of O Holy Night is probably the greatest Christmas song ever. All other artists attempts at this song are weak in comparison!

Probably one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Fall on your knees!

Guess who I heard while gassing up at a Chevron Station today? “Alvin & The Chipmunks, ‘Don’t Be Late!’
Annoying but sweet.
Their Christmas album LP was a big piece of clear red plastic. My sisters and I drove my parents nuts by playing it over and over at speed 78. One day, just before Christmas Eve, the album shockingly ‘just disappeared!’ never to be seen or played again.

I just found an awesome version of one of my favorite Christmas songs being sung beautifully by Johnny Cash and Neil Young:
