Anyone been playing Christmas music yet?

[Snazzyspookyandscary]

I've started this weekend. Had Jona Lewie (which DS loves) on in the car. Now listening to some before the X Factor starts. Just had Fairytale of New York on. Anybody else?

[Llareggub]

There are no words. It's OCTOBER.

[CherryMonster]

i play it on my laptop with earphones when i am doing christmas shopping. i have 4 dc's and it takes a lot of shopping so i find it inspires me. dont play it any other time until december though.

[parsnipcake]

My dd and I had 2000 miles on while in the park today. I listen to it while Christmas shopping and then all the time in December. We are watching our first Christmas movie tomorrow night :)

[Snazzyspookyandscary]

Love 2000 Miles. I usually play it when driving on my own. In by myself tonight so have indulged in the house

Parsnip what film will it be? May have to dig my collection out...

[LadyInPinkingShears]

yes. I cooked a big roast dinner the other day and DD put on the Christmas music as it reminded her of Xmas and it's been on ever since I obviously don't cook a roast dinner that often. It was Wed 17th Oct which is far too early for carols especially as the house is all decked out in Halloween decorations.

[LadyInPinkingShears]

Oooh yes DD and I watched Miracle on 34th Street last weekend too so perhaps that's why she felt inspired to put the Xmas tunes on - have an ipod full of them.

[parsnipcake]

Snazzy , 'Christmas with the kranks' or the first 'home alone'. ( I avidly video them off sky and have over 200), though most are too cruddy to engage the rest of the family!

If you like 2000 miles, try googling the Coldplay version, it's lovely.

[TerrorNotSoFrightened]

Yes and no.

NO, because I don't have anything festive in the house until 1st December, when I traditionally watch Love actually in the evening, then play the Christmas tunes the next day.

YES,Because some lovely MN'er recommended spotify, which I purchased and made up some Christmas playlists. That is not over zealous, that is just being organised. :)

[Haribojoe]

DS1 asked the other day when would Christmas songs start playing on the radio I think the Christmas iPod playlist may be coming out this week in the Haribo house

[Snazzyspookyandscary]

Oh, thanks parsnip, I didn't know Coldplay had done it. Will definitely look for that. I also record Christmas films obsessively though not sure I have 200! I always look out for Movies247 becoming Christmas247

I am still trying to get hold of Noel Gallagher's version of Merry Christmas Everybody (as used on Royle Family) which doesn't seem to be on iTunes and is otherwise only on an obscure and expensive compilation album.

[PeppermintLatte]

yes!

i played "baby please come home" the darlene love version, the mariah version and the michael buble version, as i wanted to see which one i preferred

i have also played michael buble's christmas album in the car a few times this month, at my DD's request. she's 3 and she loves him!

as from 6th november i will blast it proudly.

[Llareggub]

You are all mad.

[MrsSchadenfreude]

I listen constantly to 1.FM "Always Christmas." I find it soothing when I've had a bad day.

[Snazzyspookyandscary]

Merry Christmas llareggub !

[BitOfACyclePath]

Yes I have Nativity! Soundtrack, Now That's what I call Xmas etc etc

The Christmas movies are out of the attic and dusted off. We're watching The Polar Express this afternoon. Already watched Nativity!, Home Alone and Miracle on 34th Street over the past few weeks.

[WantAnOrange]

Trying to hold out but Michael Buble is calling.....

[PeppermintLatte]

WantAnOrange i've always found that when buble calls that it's always best just to go with it.

[Bunbaker]

Er no.

It's October for goodness sake. I can just about bear hearing them all through December, but I prefer to keep Christmas at Christmas. Let's get Halloween, my birthday and bonfire night out of the way first.

[GossipWitch]

ds2 was singing jingles bells yesterday morning....

[WantAnOrange]

Maybe some non christmas Buble to keep me going?

[BiddyPop]

I've been playing the Rat Pack to myself the past 2 weeks, and DD brought the Snowman out to my car yesterday She honestly chose to do that herself!!!

[HoldMeCloserTonyDanza]

I want to, so much.

It's just fear of what people will think holding me back

[Onadietcolabreak]

I can't, I would if I could But I have lost all my christmas music when my laptop died!

[FoofyShmooffer]

Nooooooooo

1st December and not a moment before.

[jessicaweber]

not playing it - but singing - even worse ;) I always drive work colleagues insane "Jingle bells, jingle bells..."
