Re: When do you start listening to holiday music and watching Christmas movies?

I start on December 1, when I set up my Advent calendar to count down to Christmas.

@house_cat  I love, love, love the holiday season. As for Christmas music, I have Alexa play it off and on all year ! My cockatiel sings with Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas is You". Heart

Re: When do you start listening to holiday music and watching Christmas movies?

It's the season of my faith, but I rarely listen to holiday music. Never in the car. I may put it on (cable channel) while waiting for guests to arrive for gatherings. I hear it in stores - which I frequent less and less. I'm a decent person but I don't like how Christmas holiday season has evolved into a materialistic season.

 

I'm banking on there being no Christmas holiday shopping in heaven --

Re: When do you start listening to holiday music and watching Christmas movies?

@house_catI really look forward to hearing it starting the day after Thanksgiving.  In my car at first; and at home if I'm doing any Christmas prep (cards, decorating) or relaxing.

 

Congrats on the new kitten!  I've often wished for a special spray that we could use to stop their aging at their cutest stage. 

 

And one to work for gardening/landscaping.

Direct TV has a Christmas music channel. I listened to it yesterday! Loved it. 


@mare54

 

I am so happy to hear that.  I am new to Directv - can you share what channel it is?

Re: When do you start listening to holiday music and watching Christmas movies?

I have a senior choral group and we start working on Christmas songs in July (we still do regular songs, of course).

 

As far as when I officially start listening at home, I would say around Thanksgiving.

 

I LOVE CHRISTMAS MUSIC.

I'm just the opposite; Christmas music is the best. I'll start listening at home around Thanksgiving and in the car the minute they start playing it.

Re: When do you start listening to holiday music and watching Christmas movies?

The only place I ever listen to music is in the car, and since I retired, I may only have the radio on once a month- -usually on the day I go for my pedicure.   

 

As for watching Christmas movies, there are certain favorites I would watch year round, but I really tune in between Thanksgiving and New Years.
