Is It Illegal to Listen to Christmas Music Right Now In Massachusetts?

How many times did you listen to Thriller on repeat all this time? For me I'd say at least 5 or 6 times. So, does this mean it's time to start listening to "All I Want for Christmas Is You" by Mariah Carey on repeat for the next couple of months to get into the holiday spirit?

I've been noticing a lot of major department stores have Christmas sections right next to their Halloween decorations.

According to Connor Youngberg from quchronicle.com, it is technically your own discretion on when Christmas starts. It could actually be in October if you really wanted to go that far back. He also mentioned that he's not trying to knock thanksgiving in any shape or form, since it's the one holiday to spend lots of time with family.

I remember years ago, I used to operate a pirate radio station out of my house (shh, don't tell the FCC) and right at midnight of Halloween, I used to start playing Christmas music immediately all the way to New Year's Eve and I actually got awesome feedback from it.

Granted here at Townsquare Media Berkshire, we usually don't start mixing in any Christmas or Holiday tunes until after Thanksgiving. After all, we have to make room for a Thanksgiving Classic that gets played every year. Aka "Alice's Restaurant" by Arlo Guthrie.

Do you think Christmas Music should start right after Halloween or after Thanksgiving? Let us know on our station app.
