What's the earliest you want to hear a Christmas song?

[User158340]

Personally I can live with any time in December, although I never listen to them off my own bat until at most a week or two before Christmas.

Already hearing them on the radio now. I just don't want to hear it in the middle of November.

never, and especially not Slade and also especially not the godawful band aid song

In fact I'm quite glad to be shielding because the Christmas songs in supermarkets make me murderous

Beginning of December, even the first is a bit much for me I live christmas bug I do end up bored with it by the time it gets to the actual day.
There was Christmas decorations on sale in September here! Thats mental a quarter of the year taken up with the preparation for 1 day! Xx

1st of December

Never. I work in retail

Sympathies. You must feel like screaming most of the day.

1st Dec then game on and fully festive!

Carols 1Dec.
Christmas songs I could gladly never hear again until my dying day.

I worked in retail years ago. I actually really liked listening to Christmas music all day every day through the festive period. But I am a huge Christmas fan!

Retail workers must have a Noddy Holder dartboard.

If it drowns out my DH ranting about work meetings I’d start it now

Last week! But only when I'm alone, I don't force it on others' ears.

Laughing heartily at premature treejaculation

Any time before August is a disgrace. August onwards, perfectly acceptable.

Never, unless it's Bowie and Bing Crosby. I listen to that one all year round.

I normally don't like christmas to start until about 8th December, but this year i say bring it on.

The earliest? Christmas eve. Late Christmas eve. Very late
Christmas eve.

Radio/shops etc 1 Dec.

At home, usually around the same, but only when I'm putting the tree up etc. Not all day, every day!!

Need them on over Christmas, but often end up spending it with people who don't like them & want the bloody tele on 24/7.

So looking forward to doing my own thing this year, without seeming rude!!

Depends on the song. I can listen to Carol of The Bells at any time.

Mariah Carey can get in the bin even on Christmas Day

Wombling Merry Christmas - Dec only

Around now, mid November

Gosh that’s a good point. Normally I am tutting away at the repetive Christmas tunes by now.
Buti’ve not heard one so far!

Combination of very little shopping and Radio 4 not 1 . Truly Peace and Joy!

1st December. I love Christmas songs - but not in November . I also like to hear them in the Christmas- New Year period as that's 'Christmas' to me .

I’ve had them on since 1st November. I usually wait until after Bonfire Night, but made the 4 day exception and blamed it on Covid.

1st December. Although admittedly I am tempted to join the 'lets start Christmas early this year' party.

I don't mind the usual ones you get on the radio, but I prefer my playlist of Christmas songs that I never hear in shops or radio.

i start on the 31st of October.

I’d say mid November is fine, my local Mp got them banned in shops in my town before October 😂

1st December, though when I was teaching small people, we'd have to start learning songs ready for Christmas as soon as we went back after October 1/2 term.
