I haven't been inside a store since March. At that time, they were airing "April Showers" over the intercom.

@millies daughter

I haven't been in a store since March. However, 1 of our local FM radio stations starts their Christmas music the 1st of November.

Have not entered any store at all since mid March. They couldn't tempt me any kind of music.

I have not been in a store since January (I am an online shopper) but I place Christmas music off and on year round.

No, but I'd welcome it to the horrible sounds (I don't call it music) we have to shop with. I sometimes get out as quickly as I can to avoid their noise!!!

For me the most nostalgic is and always will be "The Living Strings The Sounds of Christmas!"

I love that album. It is VERY retro and is available on ITunes.

@millies daughter I went to Kohl's around Oct. 15 to return an item I purchased online.

Christmas music was playing in the store. I said to the woman who handled my return that I thought it was kind of early for Christmas music. She agreed with me. I said by the time December rolls around you will be tired of hearing it. She agreed also.

So far, I haven't heard any, @millies daughter . Can imagine that after Hallowe'en, it might start up. I used to have stronger feelings about them playing Christmas music too soon.

Now, I'm not so sure. For me, it's such a quietly joyous and momentous holiday, that for the short time I might be in a store, might actually find it sort of soothing.... The great Christmas classics are timeless and quite magnificent pieces of music in their own right.

Time for Mariah Carey bellowing out "all I want for christmas is you" over and over and over and over again. That woman's voice screeching could split ice.

My favorite memories are hearing Johnny Mathis singing while walking thru a Mall. Ahhhhh all is right with the world when he sings ...................LOL

Its been at least September since I've been inside anywhere. I wouldn't mind hearing some Christmas music though.

@millies daughter

I haven’t been inside a store since mid-March and have no plans to ever go in one again. Going into stores wastes my time and money.

I’ll start listening to Christmas music on Thanksgiving but I will definitely hear plenty of it watching Christmas movies before then. I watch holiday movies year round...

I prefer Mannheim Steamroller, or Smokey Mountain Christmas.

I never was a fan of Bing Crosby, although, he was wonderful.

When I worked every freakin November 1st my trusty oldies station was Christmas music. My others choices were the junk that passes for music today or worse country stuff.

The car radio was off for 2 months and my CD player was used until January 2nd. Now that is not an option the da*n new HRV has no CD player.

I will drive in silence until after the never ending Christmas season.
