Too early?

By the way, while it may be too early for the stores to play carols, it's not too early to sign up for the Holiday Card Swap!

The Christmas music on this radio station will only be played for the weekend. The station will return to it's regular rock & roll on monday. I still think it's too early to play holiday music!

David, if this trend that we've seen for the past few years continues, maybe the stores won't bother taking down the Christmas decor at all. It's really disturbing that money has taken over such a wonderful holiday to such a high degree. It takes away so much enjoyment because it's supposed to be so special and the retailers and radio stations are ruining it.

THe Valentine's Day stuff should be going up next week.

LOL, There should be a rule that no Christmas carols can be played until there is no temp in the Continental U.S. over 72 degrees.

Amen.

You're so right, Terry. Having Christmas decorations and Christmas item for sale in stores this early and playing carols on the radio amounts to getting all the almighty dollars the retailers can get. Also, I think the children lose out a little, too. Seeing decorations this early, they tend to lose some of the awe and wonderment that that opening presents Christmas morning brings. Sometimes they can lose sight of the fact that Jesus was born that day.
