Today the music system began playing Christmas music. They usually wait until the day after Thanksgiving!

Walmart was playing Christmas music the other day. My store is across the way from Walmart.

And even though I vowed not to play any of my Christmas CDs until after Thanksgiving, I went ahead and listened to some of the today anyway!

I haven't heard any yet.... just my own! hehehe

The radio Stations here (2 of them) play 24 hour christmas music starting on november 1st. 

My 5 year old son was singing christmas songs in october and because we don't have thanksgiving we are on are run up to christmas here.

When I worked at Quizno's they started playing Christmas music on Nov 1st. It drove us all nuts! By the time Christmas came around we weren't listening to it anymore. I haven't noticed any Christmas music playing in Petsmart, but I work at the animal hospital and I'm usually in the back instead of at the front desk so I haven't been paying any attention to it.

I've heard of that happening.  Not on any stations around here, though.

The music system at the work plays the Christmas music all day until the auto shut-off at 10PM. 

Went to the movies this weekend to see Pirate Radio. We originally had gone to see Boondock Saints but all of the showings were sold out until like 11pm and we were there at 2. Ended up having to wait 2 hrs until our show time so we ended up people watching for about an hour. They were playing Christmas music outside (and probably inside of the mall too). Didn't notice the music inside the mall because it was so packed with people! But they did have a bunch of Christmas decorations out already. It kind of makes me grumpy about Christmas to see stuff out so early. It's not even Thanksgiving yet!

We went to the zoo Sunday night to see the Christmas lights they have displayed. They are always so beautiful to see. The weather was great. And SANTA was there! yay!! My 2 year old was excited to see him until it was our turn! hahaha  We did get a good picture though.  I loved listening to the Christmas music piped all through the zoo.

Ohhh yeah it'S true they already started with the X-mas music...and it' s BAD!!! It only gives me the impression that they want to put into our heads that X-mas is coming and we better start buying ALL our gifts.... I think it's a litlle bit annoying....

Yeah it makes me kind of grumpy, haha!

Most people have to plan and buy for more than a month... and we only have 30 days left... or less for people who have their family parties earlier. That's not so long to plan and celebrate. We decorate and celebrate Halloween for as long... or longer. You have to look past all the commercialism that the holidays bring and enjoy it for what it is to you and your family.

Sorry, I guess I'm just not feeling it this year. =(
