When is it acceptable to start playing Christmas music?

[CastletonSnob 3,025]

In your opinion, what is the acceptable time to start playing Christmas music? Before Halloween? After Halloween, but before Thanksgiving? Black Friday? December 1st?

I'd say it's acceptable to play it after Thanksgiving, buuuut

You should really wait 'til December

Though I still wish a happy early Hearth's Warming Eve to everypony!

I play Christmas music whenever I'm in the mood to listen to it.

Stick to December 1st, people will be happy by then.

Christmas music is explicitly December 1st through 31st for me. It allows time for you to get in the mood, and the grace period after Christmas itself lets you hear  and appreciate the songs a few more times before the season ends. That said, it is a narrow enough window of time for you to not too too sick of it either. Sadly, most retail outlets and radio stations don't seem to agree. It seems more like November 24th through January 7th to them. It's an improvement of how it was in the early 2000's, where the music started right after Halloween, but that time frame still feels wrong.

I like hearing Christmas music when the month of Christmas begins. What more appropriate time for Christmas music than, well...the month of Christmas?  It also gets really tiring hearing the same songs over and over (especially Santa Baby... ), so I think it would be better to play Christmas music later.

Anytime you want to listen to it it’s acceptable! Music is balm for the soul, and when you need it, take it! Christmas music is some of the best music around. I’ve been listening to Christmas since August. Sometimes I start earlier, or later; it’s just a matter of the mood I’m in. There ain’t any rules here, listen and be free!

As someone who’s not apart of a religion that celebrates that, for me my answer is never. My family however is. Which puts me in the awkward position of having to show up and giving presents.That being said people can listen to whatever they want because I don’t care that much lol

HEARTSWARMING EVE IS HERE ONCE AGAIN ! 

I've had that song stuck in my head for years, it's the best christmas song. So always. 

If it's trad christmas songs, if it's after Halloween, it's fine.

Probably December. Christmas music has always made me rather sad, deep down - so I try not to listen to it.

Who are the psychos who think it is ok to play Christmas music before Halloween?! 

[Silly Druid 6,146]

I don't really like Christmas music (with a few exceptions like this), so I'd prefer if it's never played, or is played only in small quantities. When I hear it everywhere, it just gets boring.

Gotta wait until Thanksgiving is over at least. Any sooner than that is just… too soon lol.

[Megas 27,069]

Ideally once it's December, I'm willing to give it to after Thanksgiving.

Before then? Absolutely not

[Cash In 21,530]

December 1st at the earliest. It always annoyed me whenever I went to a store and heard Christmas music blaring in the middle of September.

[Twitchy-Tremor 281]

I think after thanksgiving 

[Trot Shuffle 3,599]

Me can play it anytime around me! 

But out of respect for others, it seems okay for mostly everyone right as December comes along.

[Xada 185]

During december and only during december.

[SparklingSwirls 21,261]

Never... I don't like Christmas music xD

[DubWolf 16,622]

Why, on Christmas of course  .

[BritishBrony2012 719]

I belive November, make be prepure. I start listening to some Christmas music, like in remixes or metal music. and songs like from Sptting Image like Christmas Singles or Christmas time by The Darkness.

[Sasoriman 128]

Any time people want, as long as I don't hear it until at least December 8th.

[Savygriffs 5,022]

I usually start playing it December 1st.

I go crazy on Spotify (Thankfully they don't start tracking  for Wrapped until the first of the year or else Christmas music would dominate mine LOL)

[Envy 6,000]

Typically after Thanksgiving.

Sometimes I listen to my favorites no matter what time of the year it is, but a lot rarer than after Thanksgiving.
