Yes, WAY too early. We've still got a month to go till Advent, which begins this year on December 2, and even that is only a season of PREPARATION for Christmas. I prefer Christmas music starting as it should, on the evening of December 24, and then going for the twelve days of Christmas, until Epiphany on January 6.
Now if you're talking about the other "Christmas," the artificial one, then I don't care, since it doesn't have much to do with the real Christmas.
“Yes, WAY too early.”
Agree completely! As a musician, I know every note of every melody, every note of the harmonies. The endless repetition drives me crazy! And another thing,,, those bins of cinnamon Pine cones are an olfactory assault!
