There I was driving around in my car with the top down—wearing shorts and sunglasses—and what do I hear when I turn on the radio? The Carpenters’ Christmas song. You know the one… “Merry Christmas, Darling…” and something about the logs on the fire filling her with desire. (Hello? TMI)
So it’s November 16th and it’s already started: The endless Christmas music on the light rock station. Hey, I love me a good Please Come Home for Christmas (Bon Jovi version); MariahCareyMerryChristmas always rocks, Britain’s version of We are the World is a good one; I even like the classics like 50 Cent’s Little Drummer Boy.
But it’s too early even for me. I mean, I’m still putting up my sun visor thing in the car! And the poor DJs! How do they stand it?
Give me at least until the day after Thanksgiving. Then I’ll get into it. I’ll even make the light rock station one of my pre-sets. Okay, fine. It’s already a pre-set. But I’ll play it non-stop from November 24th-December 25th. Until then, though, ain’t no logs on the fire gonna fill me with desire.

I caught myself humming a Christmas song the other day and stopped, too early!!
I counted 5 houses lit up with Christmas lights the other night when I was drving to class...a 2 mile drive!
Might as well just have Christmas all year long at this rate!
It loses some of the specialness of the season when we start in July!
I learned from Liz that the fancy neighborhoods have to put their lights up early because the people they pay to hang them are booked closer to Christmas!
