The soft rock radio station in Washington, DC is already playing non-stop Christmas music!!! It's not even THANKSGIVING!!! Is this not ridiculous or what?
It used to be that they played non-stop Christmas music the day after Thanksgiving. Starting the day after that, though, they played intermittent Christmas music through January. That was fine. I loved listening to the station then. But for the holiday season of 2001, they decided people needed "extra cheer" (because of September 11th) and starting Thanksgiving, began playing non-stop Christmas music through the New Year. I thought it would go back to the way it was before for the 2002 Holiday season, but no. Ditto for 2003. And now it's NOT EVEN the 2004 holiday season yet and they're already playing it non-stop!
I think it's assinine! And I *love* Christmas! For the last few years, they just repeat the same songs over and over - if I listen to that station, I can usually guarantee hearing a song on my way in to work and on my way home. It's RIDICULOUS!!! ARRRRRGH!
Am I the only one who thinks so? I wrote an e-mail to the station telling them exactly what I thought of what they're doing - I doubt anyone will read it - but it's just so frustrating! I love Christmas music as much as the nex Christmas nut but NOT before Thanksgiving and NOT non-stop for 5-6 weeks!!!
