Based on my local department stores, August wouldn't have been too early.
If there's a war on Christmas, Christmas is definitely winning.

For us it is never to early to ejoy Christmas music and the joy it brings. Granted I prefer to not start decorating till after Halloween and Thanksgiving. But because we have expanded the areas we decorate inside the house there are some rooms that we are prepping now and will have decorations up before Halloween.

I saw some cards in the store over the weekend and thought to myself "these would be awesome for the BN card exchange". I didn't buy them because I just can't bring myself to by anything Christmas related until after Halloween.

I am not sure...
How about we ask the inmates of the Christmas Island refugee camps?

or those involved in the nuclear tests

Rule in my house, Christmas music is not allowed until Dec 23 and must cease and desist by Dec 26. Yes I am really that grumpy when it comes to Christmas

YMMV

It is never too early, or too late, to listen to Christmas Island. I am Auntie and I have spoken

Used to be a definitive day after Thanksgiving guy. Now, I've downloaded a ton of what I call GOOD Christmas music the last couple years, so in order to fully enjoy it I definitely gotta get started earlier in November....probably week or so leading up to Thanksgiving.

Yes, it's too dang early. I prefer my holidays one at a time. This is Monster Mash time.
Sheesh, at my local grocery store they went from Back-to-School displays to Christmas stuff...in September.

Please note that I am referring to "Christmas Island" specially, not Christmas music in general. I love listening to "Christmas Island" any time of year. It just makes you happy!

I still have my tree and lights up from last year.
Does that count for anything?
