Yes too early especially when I have to work in a pharmacy for 8 hours. 🙄

gore--whore.bsky.social•165 days ago

As long as they don't play Christmas music like they put Christmas sweets at the end of august in supermarkets (at least here in my country) 🤣🤣
I'd say mid december is fine tho~ 😆

disco4eva.bsky.social•165 days ago

Even on Christmas Day its too much! Unless its Fairytale of New York by the Pogues

warmwestwind.bsky.social•165 days ago

before thanksgiving = christmas is being aggressive again

gsspider.bsky.social•165 days ago

we don't have the excuse of Thanksgiving. but honestly - surely 'December' is enough?!

warmwestwind.bsky.social•165 days ago

you would thiiink

spid3rm4n0116.bsky.social•165 days ago

I was a band kid, we started Sleigh Ride in October 😂

ra-mehler.bsky.social•165 days ago

Yeah, wie have plenty of time. It´s not like this is ... I dunno, our last christmas.

gsspider.bsky.social•165 days ago

😂

pearlbeach.bsky.social•165 days ago

If it's not after Thanksgiving, I don't even wanna think about christmas

theyorkshirepud.bsky.social•165 days ago

Too early for any of it for me but I have friends who already have the decorations up and are watching the Christmas films and if it makes them happy so be it. I refuse to watch a Christmas film until next month 🤣

melfice.bsky.social•165 days ago

Yes.
But Christmas lights and -tree is perfectly fine.
Whatever makes you happy, right?

So... following that, I suppose the songs are okay too, but they are still too early for the radio, at least.

stevew84.bsky.social•165 days ago

I’m afraid not it’s only 30 sleeps till Santa 🎅

gsspider.bsky.social•165 days ago

And would only be 7 sleeps with the music and decorations if I had my way! Not bah humbug - just that by the time you actually get to Christmas if it's been going since 25th Nov it's just SO irritating

gythogg.bsky.social•165 days ago

It's not just you. I switched R2 off at the first two notes of 'Merry Christmas Everyone' this morning, and I'm not turning it back on until 1st December

gsspider.bsky.social•165 days ago

Me too!!

gtbtr.bsky.social•165 days ago

It doesn't feel like Christmas. I'm too upset about the death of democracy to go spend recklessly. Join me in boycotting the holiday shopping season in retaliation for the wealthy supporting don-the-con.

dreamyrainy.bsky.social•165 days ago

The defrosting has already begun...
And all I want for Christmas...

linxies.bsky.social•165 days ago

Gotta wait til december

3ontap.bsky.social•165 days ago

I was so pissed the 1st Xmas song I heard this year was Last Christmas and i thought I lost the game.

Game doesn't start til December 1st.

It's too early.

blooms-ghost.bsky.social•165 days ago

By over a fortnight in my opinion.

pcast42.bsky.social•165 days ago

It's not even Advent yet, and Christmas carols shoud not (if we're going to be supertechnical) come before Christmas Eve (and can continue until Epiphany).

I get that the secular cal. works differently than the liturgical, but carols in November is OTT.

parkinsonsman.bsky.social•165 days ago

WAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY!

manablood.bsky.social•165 days ago

Waaayyyyyyyyyyy too early.

*hisses at the world and blasts 6 space heaters and plays my Summer of Sonic playlist to pretend it's a season that doesn't suck lol*

garyofearth.bsky.social•165 days ago

Depends on the song, I’ll happily listen to my favourite Christmas songs in July

gsspider.bsky.social•165 days ago

Illegal

garyofearth.bsky.social•165 days ago

It’s with headphones on, so no one around me knows what I’m listening to

gsspider.bsky.social•165 days ago

forgiven!

luznotes.bsky.social•165 days ago

They skipped Thanksgiving and went straight for Christmas.

zerojay.com•165 days ago

Uber playing Christmas songs a week ago. No.

gsspider.bsky.social•165 days ago

😱

rallsk.bsky.social•165 days ago

Depends on the songs. At work recently, our delivery van’s radio started playing *that* Mariah Carey song and a colleague and I both wailed in dismay. Now, if it had been Jethro Tull, I’d have been fine 😊

meorami.bsky.social•165 days ago

As a form of protest I’ve been playing Alice’s Restaurant since October.

gruffonbsky.bsky.social•165 days ago

Not just you! Keep it in December!

kellllly.bsky.social•165 days ago

We get a pass this year to start the music early bc we’re all sad

theradicalleftist.bsky.social•165 days ago

Shit I told my wife we'd do the tree this weekend

gsspider.bsky.social•165 days ago

That's illegal.

theradicalleftist.bsky.social•165 days ago

It fucking should be but she's playing DBD right now maybe she will forget

gsspider.bsky.social•165 days ago

😂

theradicalleftist.bsky.social•165 days ago

Dammit she remembered

mistergasmoney.bsky.social•165 days ago

Christmas music isn't acceptable until after Thanksgiving.

cooperhudson.bsky.social•165 days ago

I love Christmas music, but I personally can’t be in the mood for it till after Thanksgiving—and that includes when Thanksgiving comes late, like this year

magsdnd.bsky.social•165 days ago

From mid December is just about acceptable (unless it's Mariah Carey, then it never is) but not before.

gsspider.bsky.social•165 days ago

That's exactly where I am.
Not 25th Nov FFS!

twin-images.bsky.social•165 days ago

I'm not ready for Christmas anything until December 1st. By the time we get to Christmas Eve, I'm already sick with the stench of it.

lilsausagefactory.bsky.social•165 days ago

No Christmas songs ever. Especially not that fucking fairytale in new york bollocks.

oliviaobscure.bsky.social•165 days ago

bringing a gun in public to shoot out supermarket speakers ,,,, tis the season

windward62.bsky.social•165 days ago

The guideline in my family was, Thanksgiving dinner, sing Christmas carols, while washing the dishes… And Christmas has begun

jakelt1.bsky.social•165 days ago

365 days a year is too early for Christmas music 🙃

caffeinecult.bsky.social•165 days ago

They started on Nov 12th here 😬

gsspider.bsky.social•165 days ago

😱

sirsamuel.bsky.social•165 days ago

Dec 24th is too early.

This is why I never listen to radio anymore. I prefer to curate my own playlists

givemespacetravel.bsky.social•165 days ago

How can it ever be too early for a bunch of awful songs that carry on about snow and the like and you live in the Southern Hemisphere and know that if it's a good Christmas it will go close to 40C and you'll have to spend it in the pool with a supply of a crisp white wine :)

justj1.bsky.social•165 days ago

Two weeks before Christmas ideal time, including all TV ads, street decs etc

tarsins.bsky.social•165 days ago

My mission this year is not to hear Fairytale of New York.

stevew84.bsky.social•165 days ago

I hate that song!

slamellie.bsky.social•165 days ago

No one should have to hear Christmas songs until 20/12 at the earliest.

gsspider.bsky.social•165 days ago

Absolutely right. I could live with 15/12.
But 25/11? No no no.

gingersnapjess.bsky.social•165 days ago

Not in my house! We’re actively dissociating though, so…

tsmarshmanedwards.bsky.social•165 days ago

Unfortunately, due to various clashing schedules, my family can only make our usual Christmas present exchange this coming Saturday (30/11). So I put the tree and decs up yesterday :( I'm not happy about it and wouldn't do it so early usually. But needs must this time round.

gsspider.bsky.social•165 days ago

You'll take them down again though until 23rd Dec....? 😂

tsmarshmanedwards.bsky.social•165 days ago

😂 Given the amount of stress and bother sticking the bloody things up took, they can stay up til Easter! (I kid, they'll be down just after New Year's).

The only reason I've done it is to avoid A Comment from certain family members. 🙄

gsspider.bsky.social•165 days ago

That sounds depressingly familiar - stress/ bother and 'family' 😂

tsmarshmanedwards.bsky.social•165 days ago

Don't get me wrong, I love my family dearly - they've been nothing but supportive and caring. But those closest to us can find a way to press our buttons like nobody else. Even if they don't mean to.

gsspider.bsky.social•165 days ago

I absolutely agree!! I love my family too - but those buttons...

reefgirl.bsky.social•165 days ago

Absolutely, I'll have to stop listening to Classic FM from now on, they started playing Xmas music today it's still @££&ing November

gsspider.bsky.social•165 days ago

Same here - Radio 2 had Slade on. Ugh.

reefgirl.bsky.social•165 days ago

It's going to be Spotify from now until the Winter Solstice

ronald-tramp.bsky.social•165 days ago

Maybe just watch a movie

gsspider.bsky.social•165 days ago

😶

cicadence.bsky.social•165 days ago

Yes.

adrianfeliciano.bsky.social•165 days ago

Not unless you’re in the Philippines. Christmas season begins, er, religiously, in September.

brookinsavannah.bsky.social•165 days ago

Due to the absolute disaster we are currently in, in the US; it’s not too early for Christmas songs

genestarwind.bsky.social•165 days ago

Wal-Mart putting up Xmas crap the day after Labor Day is waaaaaaaay to early. #MerryHallowThanksHanukKwanzaaMas

dennis-moore.org•165 days ago

Now look what you made me do.
https://youtu.be/U6-PAKOt7sM

gsspider.bsky.social•165 days ago

Illegal!

reefgirl.bsky.social•165 days ago

My favourite Xmas song, that and Fairytale of New York
https://youtu.be/j9jbdgZidu8?si=RdzzOCbkvH2a9EQ4

dennis-moore.org•165 days ago

I love it.

thereissunshine.bsky.social•165 days ago

I don't find it too early, what annoys me is the same 12 over and over. If I have to listen to Hey Soul Sister for 42 weeks of the year, others can handle Christmas music for 10 weeks.
