Poll: When Should Holiday Music Start Playing?
Patch asks when Christmas jingles jive with you—and which songs are your favorites.
In Detroit, Fresh 100.3 and Today's 105.1 are already playing Christmas music, and other local radio stations will soon also dust off their holiday records in preparation for seasonal Yuletide spinning.
In Dearborn, some area businesses are already getting in the holiday spirit. Sophia's Giftique set up their Christmas displays over the weekend, with ornaments and other decor ready to buy to spruce up your home for the holidays. And at Merchant's Fine Wine, the Great Lakes Brewing Company's Christmas Ale is already flying off the shelves.
But is it too early for "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" if Tom the Turkey hasn't even been stuffed?
When should Christmas and holiday music start playing on the radio and in stores? Take our poll and tell us your favorite holiday song in the comments!

I love Bing Crosby's White Christmas. My other favorite Christmas album is the Chieftains,The Bells of Dublin.

I have to admit: I turned on 100.3 last week and was disappointed that they weren't playing Christmas music yet! However, I always change the station when Paul McCartney's "Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time" comes on. Can't stand it!

I love Christmas music...it puts me in the mood to either shop or clean house. I was also looking for the music right after Halloween but it was ok that it was a few days later. I saw the news story on 100.3 playing the music late, on channel 4 news. I turned on the radio the next day!

"Mary's Boy Child – Oh My Lord." I like it cause it has different beats and even a little reggae/calypso beat in the middle.
But as a soft Christmas song my other favorite has to be "I'll be home for Christmas".
