When did Novemember 1st signal to everybody to put up their Christmas decorations and for the stores to start advertise it. Holy Christ! Leave Thanksgiving by itself and stop making it "Christmas part 1".

Customer complaints have prompted Shoppers Drug Mart to shut off its Christmas music, but the jolly jingles will be back later in the year.

Spokeswoman Tammy Smitham said the national pharmacy chain normally starts playing holiday tunes at the beginning of November. They had no idea it got on people's nerves.

But now that the chain has some 45,000 Facebook fans giving feedback in real time, Shoppers has gotten the message.

"We looked at the volume of feedback that we were getting. From the majority, we've heard people say it's too early," Smitham said.

As of Friday at midnight, Frosty The Snowman and Jingle Bell Rock will be axed for the usual top-40 fare..

I was at a Kohl's yesterday, and they were mixing in holiday music with regular stuff. Made me cringe.

I don't mind it so much after November 15th, but I just need a couple of weeks to enjoy the crisp air of fall without having to start thinking about all the stress of Christmas

You hit it right on! Thanksgiving is the best. Just food and drink. That's all. Christmas isn't an autumn holiday

Department stores have had their Christmas stuff up since October's first week, the malls have had all their big decoration up since around the middle of October. Here in Pennsylvania they started airing this fucking 3 decades old Christmas Lottery commercial this week. You didn't use to see it till December.
