No? So why do you listen to Christmas songs in Nov.?

November 6, 2007
BY RICHARD ROEPER Sun-Times Columnist
Couldn't help it. Out of curiosity, I tuned to WLIT-FM (93.9) Monday. "O Tannenbaum" by Vince Guaraldi.

Ack. Why don't you just Tase me, bro?

Of course I immediately hit the tuner button and vowed to stay away from the Lite until at least Dec. 10. The only thing as abhorrently anachronistic as decorations that go up too early or stay up too late is the playing of holiday music when we're still putting away the Halloween decorations and we haven't solidified our Thanksgiving plans.

But that's just me -- and probably you. The evidence says the reason stations go early with the X-mas tunage is simple: The numbers go up.

Roeper misses the point completely...Bad analogy.

July 4th is a holiday.

Christmas is a season that culminates (and extends beyond) the single date that Christmas Day falls on.

Starbucks has been in Christmas mode for several days, now.

It's the Holidays, Mr. R.

Get over it.
