when should we start hearing Christmas music in public?

[Jennifer]

I think a couple weeks before Christmas is soon enough, and non of that shit like barking dogs and fucking chipmunks. Play more of Cosby singing White Christmas and songs like that.

Cosby sings?!? Wow! The things Jell-O can do for you.

I know deep inside me you are not being sarcastic.

They can play Bach's Christmas Oratorio any time they want to as far as I'm concerned.

As for the pop/commerical/secular christmass stuff - they can stuff it.

Well I am a big fan of Bing Crosby. I even have some recordings of him with the Andrews Sisters on 78.

He had a great voice Jennifer. Hearing him sing can make a man feel all mellow inside.

.....the Andrews Sisters on 78.

The Andrews Sisters .... I haven't heard them for awhile. 'Course, I haven't seen any 78's for awhile either. You must have quite a collection.

Two weeks before December 25th.

The day after Thanksgiving, not before. I normally cruise to the Black Friday sales with one of my big band or jazz Christmas cds playing.

As a Christian I'm going to buck the trend here folks.

Christmas Season STARTS on December 25, the 12 days of Christmas are Dec 25 thru Jan 6 (the feast of the Epiphany). Not only would I prefer not to hear Christmas music before Christmas Eve (aka the Vigil of the Nativity), but I'd LIKE to hear it until Jan 6.

Now, as for that crap they call "Holiday Music", anyone playing Jingle Bells barked by dogs should be shipped to Australia, dunked in bacon fat, and dumped into the midst of a pack of dingos that last ate twelve (in the spirit of the season) days ago.

78's? Around here those are called "battues".
