Ah! Our *oldies* stations used to play 2-4 Christmas tunes per hour leading up to Christmas, and I was fine with that. A few years ago, they went to a 24 hour Christmas format beginning on Thanksgiving. This year? They started the 24 hour Christmas music on 15 Nov! It's like people putting up their Christmas decorations on 1 Nov! Way too early.

So yeah, I used to have to avoid that oldies station 4 weeks out of the year and now six. The only reason I can think of is that the over playing of Christmas music has affected their thinking in a very wrong way so they now think 6 weeks is a good thing to do. Who can listen to Christmas music 24 hours a day for 6 weeks and not lose their mind?

A couple Christmas songs per hour is plenty and I agree with a 1 Dec start time!
