My partner tried to tell me Christmas music is supposed to start “after” Thanksgiving this morning like that would stop me from bumping Mariah Carey’s Christmas album at top volume and dancing around like a dork at 9am

Yea and by Christmas 80% of your positive replies to this will be sick of Xmas music. A month of listening to it is enough. Respect your partners’ joy for Thanksgiving. He gets one day you get a full month. Don’t be selfish 😂
That album will never be heard in my house. As soon as I hear the first few notes come from her mouth...I shut it all down. To me, Mariah Carey is like listening to chalk on the chalkboard. I shuddered just now imagining it. NOPE.
I listen to it at any time of the year (it’s a great, all-encompassing genre) but in order to save my family‘s sanity, I wait until 1 Dec to listen with them in the car.
Christmas Holiday music is forbidden in my household until after the fifth rendition of ‘Alice’s Restaurant Masacree’ and at least two different covered of ‘A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving’ has played. Also ‘Simon and Garfunkel’s Greatest Hirs’ counts as Thanksgiving music.
This is an interesting argument. I’ve been wondering when Americans start the Christmas season-is it before Thanksgiving, around Thanksgiving, or after? Perhaps the answer is ‘it depends’?
Christmas bangers have been going for at least a week strong in the Williams household. What would you play at Thanksgiving otherwise??? September music?
Actually, there is no conflict. No one stipulates that Mariah Carey's music cannot be played on Thanksgiving morning. In fact, you can try playing Mike's songs, lol
Imo Christmas music should be played for one week before and after Christmas. That said when I heard little Michael singing Christmas music on the radio yesterday I had to listen. Nobody denies the power of little Michaels voice. I could listen to MJ sing all day. Especially little MJ.
Started for me hearing that classic in a Madrid Christmas market Monday night. Then @toddstauffer.com starting to sing carols to me. Then listening to Mighty Blue Kings’ delicious holiday album on flight home. We’ll be playing more today for sure.
We have a rule no Xmas music until December. I was in a sports store. They were blasting Xmas music. I asked the teller if she played Xmas music at home. If looks could kill. 😜
I used to have strong opinions on this and pizza toppings, but then I realized that we all deserve whatever joy we can wring out of this world whenever we can. I can just eat or listen to something else.

You’re not supposed to start Christmas music.
Heathen!
So much for traditions.
Let's just remember that every thanksgiving day parade ends with santa.

You're Welcome.
Then all is fair game - Mariah Carey, carefully curated playlists, Christmas lights, and holiday movies.
Your partner is right. You are the problem.
Christmas here
