They have started the Christmas music on the radio already!

I can't believe it... they played that far overplayed song "River" and right behind it... JINGLE BELLS.

I mean...

JINGLE BELLS!

It's not even been Canadian Thanksgiving yet, let alone Halloween or US Thanksgiving


Good grief!

Actually I'm surprised I haven't heard any Christmas Carols yet this year... maybe I just haven't been into enough shops lately... I swear that they started them in about Sep last year

It's still summer here.

It's really not Christmas until you can listen to Cantate Domino without wincing.

I was chatting with a mate in the UK and they're playing Christmas music too and have the Christmas products in the stores, right beside the Halloween stuff

 

[Glowbug]

Maybe they're figuring the retail season is going to suck so badly, if they stretch it out a couple more months it'll lessen the blow

That's a possibility. The music feed is from the eastern portion of the country, that got nailed a zillion times worse than we did in the west.

Cheers!

Cantate Domino, Canticum novum...turned into one of the worst of the post-Vatican II sacharine, syruppy hymnal era -- "Sing a new song..."

Well, I for one have been luxuriating in the Anonymous 4 doing their Hungarian Christmas Chant, and last Thursday evening our choir worked over the "Hodie Christus Natus Est".

No Christmas stuff here (might put a red hat with white fluff on one of my speakers to get that festive feel...).
